Mi16 Question

[Mr Teflon 1 1 Cars]

My dear friend.

 

In your opinion, would this housing/mount fit my vehicle?

Without prejudice, buyer beware and all that.

 

Cheers

Of course - should anyone else have an opinion on this I'd be grateful.

 

Not bothered about the bush so much as the housing/mount.

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

Yes

[cheesegrater 43 1 Cars]

I also wouldnt be paying that much for one!

All XU engine mounts (+rear bush) are the same so it will fit a Mi16. Again, that's a good price for a new housing with bush

[welshpug 1,657]

not all XU mounts are the same, if they have a different gearbox, as per 2.0 turbo, they are different.

 

also the 205 variants use a different bush hence different part number as they come with the bush already fitted.

 

1807 47 for the 205 XU and XUD, bush is part # 1809 16

 

that'll cost you iro £66 from a delaer, but the bush alone is £21.

[Mr Teflon 1 1 Cars]

So it's a saving of £6?

Not great.

 

Hmmm - I may as well see if my local dealer can get one.

 

Cheers for the answers guys. My intermediate bearing keeps failing/working loose so I'm going to replace the housing, bearing and bolts (as well as reverting to standard from a Group N bush!)

[welshpug 1,657]

get a garage to fit an o.e bush (£21+labour, tenner maybe?) into an used housing, £30 saved.

 

housing above does not come with bolts, however only once have I needed to replace one as a previous person had overtightened the nuts bending the bolt.

[Mr Teflon 1 1 Cars]

We think having the bearing fail so often has damaged the mount and helped to cause bearing failure and round and round.

 

For the money - I'd happy to replace the whole thing. You know that car has long gone past the point of making economical sense, so nowadays I call it 'Triggers Broom' and simply renew parts, using genuine where possible.

 

Not looking forward to when that Bendix ABS accumulator fails, nor the master cylinder .........

[welshpug 1,657]

early ABS is easy to fix, fit later pedal box, job done

 

just hope it does not fail in use

[boldy205 75]

I have one for in the garage if you need it.

May I ask why this question was specifically directed at Baz? Do you think he has some sort of mystical super knowledge about engine mounts that are unique to this forum?

 

I mean no disrespect to Baz in saying this, but it just seemed very odd to me (and somewhat patronising to the rest of the forum members).

[Mr Teflon 1 1 Cars]

No offence intended.

 

Baz and Welshpug have been very helpful to me on other forums/real life in the past.

 

And yes, I do think he has a mystical power to know what I mean even when I don't.
