xstian 12 Posted March 6, 2019 Ive just finished refitting a xud9 back into my van. When I got the van the mounts where shot, so Ive replaced them all. Someone gave me a viba technics bottom mount so thought I may as well use it. I took the van out today for the first time and it is very vibey, the dash was rattling around loads on idle, well more than normal. I assume this mount is probably causing this? Being a diesel it maybe worse than a petrol? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,524 Posted March 6, 2019 Give it 500-1000 miles to bed in if its a new lower bush. Never used a Viba Technics one, but the BBM ones are very "buzzy" at first, but do settle down nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xstian 12 Posted March 6, 2019 I'll give it a bit of time and see if it improves. At the moment though it is worse than it was with the knackered mounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted March 14, 2019 Might be worth double checking nothing's touching the body/sub frame. But apart from that, I enjoy the rattles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a feeling the exhaust is touching the gear linkage, so need to get it on some ramps and see what's happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted March 15, 2019 That's going to be a contributing factor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcc 855 Posted March 15, 2019 The mechanical pump diesel engine is probably the worst thing to have mounted solid in a 205 haha I personally would have gone down the route of new genuine items, or BBM as mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
