Xantia S2 V6 Rear Engine/Transmission mount

Unread post by Renanek9 »

Hello

Could you guys help me find some decent replacement for this Xantia V6 rear engine/transmission mount?

I don't know if it makes any difference but my model is automatic (BVA - VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff])

I'm going to carry out some work on its axles and I'll take the opportunity to replace this part

Thanks!

I'll try and have a look on the 406 Coupe forum: I've a memory of a discussion that they managed to find a replacement for the rubber bush in the middle of that mount (rather than change the full item including the cast housing)

I once looked to see if the superficially similar bush used in the lesser engined Xantias, particularly the 1.9 diesel, might fit the housing but sadly they're different...

Sorry I didn't get chance to have a proper dig in the Coupe forum, but I think the bush might be this one -

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302453064823?

I seem to remember also that early ES9J4 and later ES9J4S mints were different.

Just a side note building on what Jim has said:

smaller engine models seem to use a 65mm OD mount. Think this will be the TU models?
Bigger XU, XUD, EW10 use a 70mm OD mount. There is a polyurethane alternative for this, Poweflex make it.
My C5 with a 2.2 HDi (DW12) is different again, this mount is 80mm OD

I've not found dimensions for the V6 mount, so not able to see if different again from the 3 described above.
