Brilliant content again, your video tutorial on replacing engine mounts on BMW F10 was informative and led me to purchase replacements from Autodoc. However, upon installation, I discovered that the mounts came with a vacuum connection, which my original mounts lacked. Despite replacing both engine and transmission mounts as recommended by my mechanic, the vibration issue persisted between 1500rpm to 1800rpm. Unsure if solid engine mounts without a vacuum connection would resolve the vibrations. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)
the vacuum bit is not a deal breaker. I would investigate other things that can make the vibration. If you just want to stiffen up your mounts, people place silicone in them.
Many thanks for your prompt response. I just wanted to clarify that it's not the mountings. It's a strange vibration that only started after I replaced the clutch/flywheel and complete front suspension kit, except for the engine mounts, a few months ago. I bought a brand new LUK flywheel and clutch kit and had it installed by a professional mechanic. I was advised that the pressure plate was faulty new (as it would not create the spring effect and push the clutch pedal back). I had that replaced along with slave cylinder, and the clutch was performing as normal. However, there has been a vibration appearing since then between 1500rpm to 1800rpm. We thought it's related to engine mountings as that was the only part we didn't replace. After changing the mounts, it still persists (only when in gear, no vibration when revving as neutral). I think I will start investigating with the flywheel as it could be causing the vibration due to being faulty and not installed properly?
@@Asad-ie1ns these vibration issues are the hardest to diagnose. Sometimes they may be due to low quality parts or even procedures that have not been followed. as a funny / expensive lesson learned by me recently, I have changed the Vibration damper/ cranckshaft pulley on my 530d. It was part of preventive maintenance and at the same time I have done water pump, all the tensioners and rollers. at IDLE I was getting a strange vibration. Ended up doing the refurb on the alternator, did not sort it. investigated even more and found , the Vibration Damper that I got was the cause of the vibration. Anything that is not GENUINE BMW can cause problems.
Could you give more info on how to replace the vacuum lines for the engine mounts on a f10 530d as mine seem to be snapped where it splits off to each mount. Thanks
Great video!, i searched alot about these type of engine mounts, never found anything useful until now. Do you think you can retrofit the vacuüm system? When i bought my new engine mounts directly from bmw the new ones had a vacuüm connection, but i don’t have the vacuüm system/lines. On there website you are able to order the kit for it, now i’m asking myself is it possible and where do you connect the regulator. Been walking around with this question for quite a while. I have a n47 F10
yes. the retrofit should be possible if there is a n47 that has it. Alternatively we can make a separate controller to do the switching. Might not have been an option because the 2.0 is balanced internally for secondary inertia forces. It is less mass. for you to get an idea of what is available start exploring realoem.com
