TDR|XTC Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I don't know, what causes it, but there is a slight rattle on the right side of the car which you can hear when you set off, when you brake or when you go over a slight bump. I once tried to accelerate and pulsate on the throttle (to make the car shake) and each time the rattle appears,. My thoughts turned to the upper engine mount which looks like in the photo. Isn't that suppose to stay different because of being hydraulic. I don't think it does any sort of damping. Please share your thoughts! Any other part which i need to check out? Thanks !

TDR|XTC Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Anyone who has an ideea about this, or at least post a photo on how that engine mount should look like ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Have you checked the suspension? Perhaps a worn bushing somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDR|XTC Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hey Luke! Thanks for the reply I did check it. And did not see anything unusual there. Even when the car is standing still, and I turn off the engine, i can still hear it (as the engine shakes when it's stopping). Does anyone have a photo of that upper mount?

TDR|XTC Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Searched a bit and found out that the upper engine mount has a hydraulic mechanism. Shouldn't it look like in the picture, to damp the vertical movement of the engine (even when the engine is bolted on) ? It would help me a lot to see one that's on another Fiesta. Thanks!

TDR|XTC Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Ok, Alex! Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDR|XTC Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 I tried another thing. Engine running, stationary i started to shake the car front to back and the rattle is immediately there. Any key points i should check in the engine bay or suspension. Thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiFiesta Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Strut top mounts, end links and sway bar bushings are common faults on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
