Engine Mounts - Which are the same?

[Coby.]

I've been meaning to sort out my engine mounts for a little while..... I plan on just using OE Mounts and was just wondering which mounts are the same and which are different between the RS Range?

I believe there are 4 engine mounts (Off the top of my head) and just wondered which are the same across the range i.e. Mk2 Ph1 172, Mk2 Ph2 172 and 182's?

If some one could just give me the exact facts that's be great as I see a few Clio's being broken on here regularly so just fancy picking up a set off someone on here but want to make sure I get all the right one's,

Cheers
Andy.

My advice, replace them once with some uprated ones (KTR or other) then forget about it. They just dont last the stock ones esp used sets........a brand new set lasted 25k for me (which is a year at my current anual mileage). So i bit the bullet and went uprated all mounts, car feels superb, like new.

But will vibrate, so not all good.

Mine are on 87k and only started having an issue for the last few miles so I'm happy with how long OE one's last as its only a road car and I've heard aftermarket can be a little harsh from inside the cabin.

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Yeh they are fairly harsh and they do vibrate, but alot better when you give it some stick. Vibration isnt something that phases me really, but its stripped out at the back and on coilies so im used to it lol.

You owned the car from new? 87k? if not chances are they've been done before IMO.

 

[Coby.]

Bought it on 12k and 2 years old and no mention of them being done.....I changed the twisted mount a while back but none of the others.

 

[Coby.]

Anyone?

 

[Fred@BTM]

all RS clios use the same mounts bar the bogbone (phs1 is different to the phs2)

use stock everything bar the dogbone in my experience

oh and don't buy genuine, wasting yer cash

 

[Coby.]

So Upper Engine Mount and Gearbox Mounts are the same on Ph1's and All Ph2's??

Berlingo uses the same Upper Engine mount doesn't it?

 

[Fred@BTM]

kangoo does, pm maynard (but send me a comission)

 

[Coby.]

Thats the one......I knew it was one of the vans.

Maynard be able to sort me out will he?

I'll drop him a PM,

Cheers Fred
