myke Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 My 55 2litre HDI has developed a noise in the engine conpartment. When I come off the throttle and go on to the throttle the engine, I think, is moving on its mounts and I can hear a knocking noise from the OS side of the engine conpartment. I suspect that the engine is moving on its mount more than it should do. Also on turning the engine off, it apears to rock on its mount and I can hear the same knocking noise. I suspect it is coming from an engine mount. Has anyone else come across this? Are the mounts known to wear easily and/or is this known about. I dont want the main dealer to charge me the earth to find something that is known of (suspicious or WHAT) It has done 45,000 miles. Quote
myke Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 Turns out it is the bottom OS engine mount and is not unheard of that it fails causing the knocking sound not to be confused with the noise that comes from the drop links when they fail. 43,000 miles for engine mounts, thought they would last a lot longer than that.
