Wanted: nearside (Left side) engine mount for 1998 2.5 petrol V6
« on: 14 October 2015, 20:01:27 »
Has anyone got one? :'(

It's either a single piece that's now in two or it's two piece that's seized into one. :(

Anyway, bottom line is I need a replacement or my Mig will remain off the road. :'( :-\  (so much for manifold gasket replacement - what else will reveal itself in the longest ever service I've ever known? Car in mid July & still waiting.....)

Not available from stealers any longer or the usual suspects and I'd rather not get pattern from the bay of E

Can any one help?

It will be fine for the short term :y when you rev the engine it rocks to the right which is why the nearside ones always fail...

And a slightly longer term lash up would be a short length of chain between the crossmember and engine. Old school/redneck but it does work on high power engines!

Hope the you enjoying the Insignia estate still?

Guessing 4-pot mounts are different to V6s? I know of a good low mileage one near me, but just the 4 cylinder model, so there's little I can get off it, sadly.

Second hand will be fine, but only if it's from the right hand side as that side is always under compression and so doesn't pull apart over time ;)

Found three part numbers for them, anyone know if it's just a case of one PN superceeding another, or is there a critical difference to know about?
