Hydromount on its last legs?
 

Hi all, what are the usual symptoms of a hydromount on its last legs on a Diesel? How many miles should they last - I’m closing in on 180k, I have low speed juddering and increased vibration in the car especially at idle. Lower mount will be done this weekend but I’m pretty sure it is already a power flex yellow bush in there fitted years ago by previous owners and not heard of those failing.

Thanks

I think the hydramount rubber deteriorates, splits and the (glycol?) solution inside leaks out.

More vibration than usual Gordy

Yeah Andy more than usual!

So where is the best place to buy and is it a diy job for someone with little tools and skill ???

I changed mine last year it was looking a bit worn, see link below:

A 1/2" socket set, a jack, a piece of wood and a spanner set is pretty much it in terms of tools, except the hydramount tool.

This is a special tool designed to screw the hydramount out and back in, it took me a matter of minutes to do this bit of the job. I was able to borrow the tool from another forum member.

I think there are some people here who have removed them in other ways, have a search of the forum.

Hello, where can i find hydramount tool please ?
Thanks you.

I'm also after a loan of a hydramount tool if anyone has one ??
