Powerflex diesel engine mount

tvpcop · 15th February 2012, 20:03

Well i fitted my Powerflex diesel engine mount tonight. I've driven 1 mile and can already report the following.....

Pros
more positive gear change....feels more precise
braking feels better
feels better under acceleration
will last a lifetime

Cons
Slightly and i mean slightly more vibration at idle

All in all im very impressed. As one of the guys who started the hunt for alternatives i.e. the mondeo mount, etc i think this is the perfect solution especially as people are reporting that oem mounts are lasting less than 12 months.

I paid 24 squid for mine....money very well spent....improves the feel of the car so much.

Regards
Graham

Am I right in assuming these are softer than the yellow ones and therefor would probably be a better option for the petrol models also

I believe that's the idea so yeh they would be compatible with the petrol too especially if you want to keep vibration to a minimum

Fitted a Mondeo Mount recently, but will be looking at doing this next... Kept my old mount in anticipation of the Powerflex being released...

Where to buy one from as I think mine needs doing

The mondeo mount is great and was a good stop gap and certainly preferable to paying £90 for an OEM one but this new solution just feels spot on to me, very pleased powerflex made the effort to evolve their first attempt

My Thoughts exactly... We have another meet coming up in MK, so if you make it to that one, I will crawl under and take a looksy!!
