early May had the red / 8 complained loudly grumbling, what else. Of course, he still went very well (for only an empty tank can stop a / 8), but at a higher speed of the exhaust vibrated loudly. Very loudly. Under the general head scratching as to why all of a sudden a quieter exhaust to a loud and starts to swing a peaceful resonance, we agreed on two problems: exhaust is braced or motor bearings are defective and allow the exhaust to the engine to vibrate together.
The thesis of the motor bearings seemed reasonable and a look into the maintenance records reported that the camp had not been renewed for at least the last 23 years. This repair is not so difficult, so as to Mercedes and two engine mount (and a support plate, it is again this and "replaced by") ordered. "Thank you for your order, pick you up tomorrow." Morning picked up: "Please to checkout ..." - "Thank you" - "€ 224.80 - "...( röchel). The motor bearings since mid-2008 cost about 100 € TTC instead of earlier 40th 200 € for two motor bearings, we can not. Back.
So long searched around, which are as high quality accessories, Febi is not considered, as well Lemförder but no longer available. My supplier agreed on Meyle and I took what I could get. 34 euro per piece sounds much better. Plus 10 € for this ridiculous washer, but directly from Mercedes.
And today was it is about time, the owner proceeded to surgery: remove engine stop (oil-impregnated by the slightly leaking crankshaft oil seal, two new sites at a time), remove transmission mount from crossmember (so it is not bent when lifting the engine too much), exhaust holder solve the transmission , bolts from the engine mount lift, motor with Jack, then with extensions and universal joints loosen the two screws that hold each left and right engine mount to the subframe. Everything closely but with some Gedrücke far no problem, then scratch a little here and there along the paint, but that's dependent. Subframe and clean the bearings (it is not directly rubber) with some fluid Gel film protect against rust, then reassemble everything together (bearing in subframe 30 Nm, thick screw through bearing 70 Nm) and the rest again. Lasted two hours and went without much worry. The old warehouse had been to the new set of about half a centimeter. Mr. Kuehn away with stern glances with the aid of Swissvax Quick Finish the fingerprints on the wings, resulting in such operations after all. Never wash again and always a clean car. A fascinating product.
test drive. Still vibrates. And just like in May have no more time, because the day after that on a long trip. Is working first. Is finally a / 8
