Constant Rough Idle Vibration

So, what's the trick in changing the engine mount without pulling out the turbo?

My one's bung!

Turbo does not have to come off...though you will get different work shops tell you different things...

I bought the a genuine mount for $285 and got it fitted without turbo removal...the car idles very smooth now...

In regards to your negative camber problem is this causing the DSC light to come on?

In regard to your negative camber problem are you getting the DSC light go on?

Cheers Dan, trade price would be good.

I was in there the other week to get an oil filter and asked how much the engine mount was... $318 retail!

[louiseanddanny]

Hey we got a price but yeah as you know its $$,thought I might check out riverside spares and they have them for $50 bucks for a pair I was completely shocked!!! I checked them out they dont look refurbished,they look brand new still in a box/bag but without the fraud symbol. Hows that!!!Im still a bit sceptical about it id like to know if anyone from the forum knows if there legit or not?

Dont use that mount, its designed for the NA / 6. Note it doesnt have the reinforcing straps, to hold the engine down when it breaks. Probably isnt engineered for the increased torque of the Turbo models.

[boost69]

Yes the turbo one has straps...there is a difference between NA and turbo mounts...I bought mine from Thomson Ford in Parramatta guys for under $300...I also got C&V to fit the mount and they did it without turbo removal...I also had previously confirmed it can be done without turbo removal as I asked a friend who works at a Ford dealership and who used to work on my car when it was under warranty and he also said it can be done without turbo removal...

Like I said I asked around and some workshops said turbo needs to come off and wanted $500 labour plus perishebles to do it...and others can do it without turbo removal...which cost up to $150 labour...

[John_K]

We changed my passenger side one using an NA mount. Just took the straps off my existing mount and put it onto the NA. Put it in and so far so good.

Danny, where's Riverside?

and... how does one replace the turbo side mount without removing the turbo???

[ebxmple]

I found the easiest way is to take the exhaust heatshields and dump pipe off to help get to the top nut. If its covered by a heatshield I use a big pick to get the clip off that holds the heatshield on. Once the top nut is off and the bottom long bolt is out lift or jack the engine up and pull the mount out. I have seen others support the engine with a hook and lower the front crossmember down to allow room to remove mount too.Definately no need to take turbo off.
