Vibrations with NEW engine mounts?
I recently changed my engine mounts. I haven't changed the transmission mount yet (plan to within a week or two).
I am somewhat concerned as here are my results: -Idle became smooth, like the engine is off -Below 4,000rpm it became smoother -Above 4,000rpm it became rougher -Vibrations are not felt equally in the car. In the front it is smoother than the rear. -Vibrations are RPM dependent, NOT speed dependent. Engine mounts used were febi/bilstein Engine is a M111.960 (2.2). 62,000miles I plan on doing the transmission mount and then maybe taking it to a mechanic. I doubt the transmission mount will have an effect as it got harsher in rpm ranges that it used to be smoother in. Any help is greatly appreciated. I know this is a 4 cylinder engine, and I am unsure if I am just expecting too much, but it really doesn't seem like what a Mercedes should be like |
Try loosening both engine mount to frame bolts a couple of turns, run the enigne for a few minutes and turn it off, then torque the engine mount to frame bolts to 30 ft/lbs. Replacing the transmission mount may help if it is worn out.
I expect that you removed both engine brackets in the process of replacing the engine mounts and torqued the engine mount to engine bracket bolts to 41 ft/lbs. Also, the engine mount alignment tab needs to fit in the slot in the engine bracket. |
I didn't use a torque wrench for tightening them. I just did it by feel.
Yes I did align the slots correctly No the brackets were not removed. The engine was lifted and dropped on new mounts |
