Standard Lower Engine Mount

Recommended Posts

I've taken my lower mount off and the rubber mount is set in the "frame" as in 1) pictured.

I presume the movement it controls is in the direction shown on the fantastic diagram?

My mount is currently as shown in 1) above.

 

So a couple of questions

 

1. is the orientation in 1) correct or should it be as in 2) ??

2. On fitting a new standard mount I presume orientating it as in 2) would give more resistance to movement without being as harsh a the solid rubber Group N type? I've been in a car with a Group N mount and didn't like the vibes it gave.

 

thoughts?

 

Anyone have an idea of the prices of standard style mount? pug or otherwise?

 

Cheers

Hoping first effort at posting a pic works, took me hours it did!

1. Thats the original orientation, yes.

2. Yes, you can fit it horizontally. I have done this with a xantia turbo mount (which is apparently a bit thicker, though it looks the same to me tbh). There are no harsh vibes, feels the same as before and its still in one piece after 40k or so. I think it cost me £11.

Yep I've done the same with Xantia turbo mount.

 

I also recommend replacing the top engine mounts.

The xantia mount I presume was from citroen? The GSF mount appears to be all the same part number across most of the XU engined cars.

There's alot using the mount part number N10126A (£8) and few using N10126 (£6)

 

Am I better off going for OE parts when it comes to mounts?

Is the xantia turbo mount a different part number to others when buying from citroen? Stiffer I presume.

Yep I got mount from Citroen dealer, £11.

 

There is a few from memory al different part numbers.

 

Xanita turbo diesel

Xantia turbo petrol

Xantia other

 

I did ask for Xantia turbo petrol. I might be able to find the Prt No. Just ask for Xantia turbo petrol.

 

Not sure on quality of parts compared to OEM. But its only £11 from Citroen.

I'll go for that then. If you have part number handy then stick it up.

 

Thanks both.
