Engine/Gearbox Mounts - Best options and where to buy?

[RS200SGP]

Hey All,

Looking to replace all four mounts out of precaution (flexi’s gone) and I can tell the main lhs engine mount definitely needs doing.

Where to actually buy good mounts not made of chineseum? Where to buy OEM parts online? Any recommendations appreciated. Who even made the original mounts for Renault? Wasted my time trying Renault but it’s all gatekept, they were too busy, no-one phones back, they want your DNA, life history, blood sample. It really shouldn’t be difficult lol, what happened to parts departments!

Any help on any of it appreciated

OE Part numbers? So far I’ve worked out...
36664 - Lower GB Mount
33206 - Top GB Mount (under battery)
36828 - LHS Top Engine Mount.
???? - LHS Rear Top Engine Mount (I think)

Renault Parts Direct and KamRacing are my go-to's, they'll nearly always have the parts you want. Can also use code "rpdfree" for free shipping too.

Thankyou mate

Also interested, if people don’t use oem, what brand is thought to be best (if anyone has experience). I’d use Powerflex or similar but would like to keep lookinh stock.

CheeRS all

I find that the TRW or FebiBilstein stuff works just as well as stock I've had no problems with them.

I fitted the Powerflex mounts to my 197, they are much stiffer but increase vibrations into the cockpit by a lot!

Oh, thanks for that, good to know…I’ll compare prices and have a think.

Really? Damn. Is that because you have all PFlex engine mounts and lower arm bushes etc or? You got the purple or black?

 

[chazza114]

I just fitted the purple bushes to the engine mounts, and even they caused quite a bit more NVH. I've read online that the black bushes are even worse, so bare that in mind.
