A Few Problems With My New 1.9

Recommended Posts

chrisj21

Hi, as some may know i purchased a sorrento 1.9 about a week back now.

there are a few things im unsure of.

 

the main thing ive noticed compared to my old 1.6 is from cold the car is very jerky especially in third gear and changing threw gears.this dissapears when accelerating hard but when i lift of the car jerks again.it generally doesn't seem as smooth as i think it should.

 

after looking through previous topics im wondering if it could be one of the following.

it may also be worth mentioning the headgasket was changed and timing belt less than 200 miles ag.but as im new to the car im unsure if this happened before.

 

1: timing out

2: worn engine mount somwhere

3: gearbox problem/release bearing etc

 

there lots more niggles but thought id start with the big one.

any help much appreiciated

 

thanks

 

Chris

hmm, funny you mention the lower engine mount, i have the same problems as described here, and that engine mount is the only one i have failed to change , as i fitted the baker bm uprated upper and gearbox mount .

Plenty of uprated GRP N ones on E-Bay :D

 

Don't think I would bother with a used mount for the sake of £30 for an up-rated one :)

The centre rubber will have either gone soft or possible sheared where it's attached to themetal outer ring

You can get a new one, in the metal mount, for circa £25 of the bay

yes the harder ones make eveything rattle in mine, where as on my other i have just bought a new standard mount for £6 brand new from gsf. and yes they're easy to fit i would advise just taking the mount down to a local garage to use their press as this will make it a lot easier.

Will be a harder material/rubber.

 

Will need pressing in by the look of them,but never fitted one myself!!!!!

 

These look ok:

 

E-Bay item number: 270205311952

 

Anyone tried them???????
