cornacum Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi everyone, I have recently started hearing/feeling vibrations after sharp acceleration on my 2006 Focus. I have been advised that the vibrations are caused by engine leaning against the exhaust and that engine mount on the car needs replacing. However, since there is more than one engine mount, how could I figure out which mount needs replacing? The car is 2006 mk2 Focus 1.6 Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONATHAN_11_80 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi, Failed drivers side top engine mount is a common issue. Mine went on my 2010 focus there was a heavy vibration throughout the rev range and scary noises. I thought the engine was screwed. Swapped the mount the car is now smooth and quiet again. Defo worth 100 quid for the mount. Go to ford for the mount as aftermarket ones aren't as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatHead1979 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Unfortunately the "top" mount for most MK2 engines is now over £200 from Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 It's £65... https://www.fordpartsuk.com/rh-front-engine-mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Tbf, I think it's probably a supply and demand thing. The 1.6 petrol and 1.6 diesel mounts were both used in the mk3 Focus as well as the mk2 so plenty still being ordered and manufactured. Whereas the 1.8TDCi engine was never fitted to the mk3 so that mount is likely to be much less in demand now. Still seems like a mad difference in price though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I reckon you might be right on the supply and demand reasoning...I'll give Ford the benefit of the doubt for once!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
