I know which guide I'll refer to in the future (goes without saying that I checked for a technical guide on the forum first but doesn't seem to be one).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Just wanted to share my experience in changing the engine mounts today in hope it helps you all and serves as a friendly warning. Using a comprehensive guide I found online, by rmeuropean.com, I set out to undertake this straightforward task. I was at the stage of reassembling and tightening all bolts to torque ... Guide said 85nm for bottom mount nut to engine carrier and 65nm for two top bolts. Bottom went on fine. Whilst tightening one of the top two bolts I really felt that it was far too tight already, even though they were easy to turn given the great leverage of the typical long torque wrench. Then, you guessed it, snap!! After extracting the broken stud I reverted to tightening the top two bolts by feel with my regular sized ratchet. Lesson learnt and all back together. Phew! I later did some more research though and found two blogs, one is a guide by georgeco specr53, confirming the top bolts should only be tightened to 25 foot pounds, about 34 nm! Just wanted to let you all know. Not saying which is right or wrong but hope this saves you the headache I had with this relatively simple diy job. I know which guide I'll refer to in the future (goes without saying that I checked for a technical guide on the forum first but doesn't seem to be one). All the best, John.

POST 2Original post

Thanks for the feedback, always good to know when issues like this arise

POST 3Original post

Can I ask which mounts you chose, where you got them and how much please? thanks

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I bought them from OPC Hatfield and from memory paid £200 after our discount. I considered aftermarket but these seemed a fair price. I also considered semi solid but I only use the car for street use so could not see the benefit. Cheers, John.
