Title: engine movement
Post by: mintex on March 22, 2015, 07:50:06 PM

Hi all.

Watch This video please, Should my engine on my bis move this much, do these have an engine steady mount like the old mins do or is it just that i need new engine mounts .

That doesn't look too bad, if the air filter doesn't bang on the engine cover its OK  ::)

Ok thanks.
It does bang sometimes and there is quite a bit of vibration on start off, its smother after, i don't mind it but with not having a 126 before i was not sure if it was normal

There isn't an engine stay but the usual problem is worn gearbox mounts, Mine does the same on the odd occasion :D
