Hi. I have another question regarding my Boxster S 2000 model.
I changed the front motor mount during winter, as it was completely worn out. As i took out the old one, and unpacked the new one, I saw that the new one did not come with the so called "engine mount support stop", part number 986.375.255.01 (se picture). These are thin soft plastic parts that sits on the side of the actual rubber bushing in the mount.
The old ones where brittle and worn, but as I did not have new ones and the engine was now supported by the jack, i glued the old support stops together and mounted with the new mount. Unfortunately, just after driving the car in and out of the garage, some pieces had already fallen off.
I have seen a couple of DIY videos on the engine mount on youtube, and have seen that some just disregard thes support stops and mount without them. I would consider the old ones i mounted as failed now.
Question is, what do these pieces actually do? Are they 100% necessary? Do they affect the longevity of the motor mount?
Engine mount support stop?
