Just wondering how many people have changed the lower engine mount for a powerflex one using this method:

Hiya mate,

i would personally remove the whole mount. but looking at the FAQ it looks like that method would work too - just not a lot of space.

but it's likely you'll face some sort of problem, it's just sod's law! LOL

the driveshaft can be a pain to take out as the bearing can become seized in the bracket. also you run the risk of sawing too far if you use the FAQ method.

i guess it just depends on your level of skill and confidence.

On the 106 xsi I removed the bracket and had fun with a hot spanner to remove the mount. Luckily the powerflex ones come in two parts and are a peice of p*ss to insert.

When my GRpN mount comes in a few days, I'm just paying the garage half hour labour to fit it! too cold to be working on a car outside on the weekends now!

Surely it takes more than half and hour for a garage to fit a lower engine mount? If that

It can turn into a nightmare mate.

Make sure you have access to another car just incase. Fairly straight forward tho, just alot can go wrong.

You will need to get the new mount pressed in as its a ultra tight fit.

Group N is hard rubber

Group A is usually solid

As long as you're prepped and have the right tools it doesn't take long to do. But me and Mat (oecken) didn't have a socket big enough to get the hub nut off, so had to faff about removing the entire strut.

Easy job if luck's on your side

I was going to go for the powerflex one as it is easy to get in without taking the whole mount off. My concern really is getting the old one out. Smile

I did one on a 205 which is simular and had to take the mount off as the replacement wasn't a powerflex one, in fact it comes from a Peugeot 405 I think, for some reason its listed seperately for about
