Re: [MBZ] motor mounts done and dusted

I guess I was lucky - my 91 300D motor mounts changed fairly easily. True i had to work from underneath to RR the center bolt, and getting to the bolts on the top required some gymnastics but many tasks have been worse. the best part was the HUGE improvement in the way the engine was held

Re: [MBZ] motor mounts done and dusted

The diesel on a W124 is just as much of a PITA -- really only possible to get to the right side from underneath, and even then it's a pain. Usually have to jack up the M103 to get access to the left one (US driver's side) when they have gone flat. Never helps when a gorilla has tightened

Re: [MBZ] motor mounts done and dusted

On the M103 you also have to lift off centre, otherwise the exhaust will cause the engine to tilt, best done at the rear of the engine. Hendrik who needs a 12 point thingy to undo head bolts On 03/06/13 03:35, Peter Frederick wrote: The diesel on a W124 is just as much of a PITA -- really only

[MBZ] motor mounts done

Had some fun this morning. Put motor mounts in one of my 83 300D sedans. Took almost two hours. I can't believe it! I am getting so slow. That should have taken less then an hour. I do wish the left mount was as easy to do as the right. Oh well it's done and a lot quieter then it was so all in

[MBZ] Motor mounts, OM617

Installed my new air cleaner bracket today on my 300D. I ordered motor mounts at the same time, but it was too late in the day to start that job, considering it's not one I've done before. Something unexpected always seems to come up when I do a particular repair for the first time.
