[diesel_mercedes] Re: Need motor mounts

 

Get good quality ones from the online stores noted above. I needed to do my oil cooler lines, and the best way is to lift up the engine. So I did the motor mounts also, as they were bad.

While you have the engine up, take a good look at the engine shocks. They are right next to the motor mounts, and look like mini-shock absorbers. They are expensive, even online, but reduce engine vibe. And easy to change once you have the engine jacked up. I was able to get some good condition shocks from a PAP.

Diesel giant has a useful writeup on changing the oil lines, mounts etc.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Need motor mounts

 

There's a few things that are easy to replace when the engine's out,
like the oil cooler lines. They can be replaced while the engine is in,
yet quite a PITA. The the lines go from the oil filter canister to the
oil cooler, by the radiator. Check these lines before installing the
engine, especially the rubber parts for cracks or weeping.
