Engine mount inserts ... don't !

[Ben006]

Hi !

Today, I decided to finally change my engine mount.
It's not the hardest of job, took 1h20min.

To replace my really really bad mount, I chose the updated 987 mount, and Torque solution insert instead of the OEM stops (the inserts were actually cheaper @ 49$).

Well... don't do the same mistake ! The car is undrivable ! It shakes so much that I wonder how I managed to go back home !
Plus, the vibration foul the knock sensors and the car has no power (no CEL).

The inserts squeeze the mount in the carrier so tight that it's basically a solid mount now

Sure, I got rid of a lot of the play in the shifter, which feels even more solid now and shifts beautifully. But I don't see how you can drive this !

So tomorrow I'll have to take the engine mount out again, and cut/grind the inserts so it fits like the OEM one because the dealership did had any stops in stock ...

Conclusion... for your engine mount, buy OEM !

Ben.
