MEYLE Mechanics offer advice on defective engine mounts

Methods to diagnose defective engine mounts and the resulting consequences are the key topics in the latest "MEYLE Mechanics" video on the "MEYLE TV" YouTube channel.


Defective engine mounts are a safety hazard as well as being very detrimental to driving comfort. Hamburg manufacturer Wulf Gaertner Autoparts highly recommends that any defective engine mount be immediately replaced.

Engine mounts are prone to fail prematurely because of reasons such as frequent temperature changes from ambient air to operating temperatures, excessive vibration and high engine loads. The consequences are things such as unresponsive steering and unpleasant noise.

The "MEYLE Mechanics" video details the system intricacies and demonstrates potential consequential damages of a defective engine mount. This can mean putting the remaining support points under extra stress as vibration increases or cause the engine to tilt to a degree where it may contact the body or any peripheral components including the drive train, hoses and cables. By replacing worn engine mounts workshops can effectively prevent this scenario and even offer their customers the immediate and noticeable benefit of considerably improved driving comfort.

Under its MEYLE and MEYLE-HD brands Wulf Gaertner Autoparts offers three generations of MEYLE engine mounts: Full-rubber mounts, hydraulic engine mounts and electrically or pneumatically switchable engine mounts.
