Hi guys, I picked up a 1985 300D with the om617 to daily. Bought it off second owner, car was clearly maintained well. It has new monark nozzles, new glow plugs, new motor mounts all done about a year and half ago in that time interval. Or so previous owner says. But the car at idle, doesn't matter if in park or drive shakes a lot! Shakes the whole car! But the minute you start to drive it, smoothed out and runs like a champ. Driven a few other 5cyl diesels as well as my uncles 87(?) 6cyl diesel, and although those were in decent shape this one out powers all of them. Runs VERY nice. So when I searched on here I kept coming across motor mounts. But my father in law whose a mechanic swears it's an injector leaking. But I just don't know it runs way too damn good!


Here are some videos





I went to a local foreign parts store that's well known and got some motor mounts. They were $44 and are the Febi Bilstein brand. I know they're not pheonix or the other good brand but will they be good enough? I wanted to buy from a local place rather than order. Any ideas please let me know! Thanks!
