Having replaced engine mounts on W123's, W124's and W201's, I am somewhat confident I can do the W210 Diesel engine mounts as well, but it never hurts to ask here if there is any unusual feature, like you have to take the intake manifold off to work on the engine mount on the driver's side, or the like, before I start. I did a search and did not see anything specific about the W210's with regard to engine mounts.

It is the unit on the driver's side that has failed, which seems odd as the torque load lessens the compression of this mount. Along with this failure comes a noticeable rough start, beyond just the engine jumping around more. I get a few seconds of smoke and rattling that is new for this car. Has 144,000 miles, and consumes less than what it takes to make the low oil warning light come on in 8,000 to 10,000 miles using Delvac 1.

Anyway, if this is a task someone here has done and they can offer some view of the expectations I should have (it seems everything on the driver's side of this vehicle requires the intake manifold to come off, for example) it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jim
