Subject:Engine mounts and vibration issues
From:Dennis Haynes
Date:Wed, 15 Jun 2016 00:13:29 -0400

The current outer mounts (070-199-231A)as being supplied by some including
Meyle are being built wrong. The outer safety stop is too close or actually
attached to the rubber pad preventing the engine from moving as needed. This
really transfers a lot of vibration into the body especially when cold and
at low speeds. It is really bad on Syncros. When installing these mounts do
what is needed to bend that outer tab away from the mount so the rubber can
flex in both directions. A good test is being able to move the engine by
lifting/lowering the tail pipe. Hopefully someone at Meyle will figure this
out and correct it or we find another source.
