I have done many motor mount replacements on W124 diesel which was super simple procedure, today I am trying to tackle 2005 E320 CDI mounts that are proving to be a nightmare so far...
I have a car on the ramps now and I loosened top and bottom bolts on both mounts, trouble is when I jack up the engine the entire car lifts with the engine wtf? Is the engine somehow bolted to the chassys? Some bolts I have to undo?
In the w124 it was so simple, lift engine, take out mounts swap you're done!
What am I missing on this CDI???? help!

I bet the transmission mount is not allowing for enough flex. Ask Whunter, he might know what's going on.

Nevermind was not jacking it up in the right spot)) both mounts replaced, huge difference!

Replacing engine mount on a 2005 car. Why you suspect it is the problem?

1 X 2006 CDI
1 x 87 300SDL
1 x 87 300D
1 x 87 300TDT wagon
1 x 83 300D
1 x 84 190D ( 5 sp ) - All R134 converted + keyless entry.

With the W211, you typcially barely know the engine is running. When you feel any vibration or can hear the engine from inside the car its time to replace mounts.

Far cry from the typical "sitting on top of a washing machine" feeling of the earlier models.
