- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2020
- Engine mounts are a vital part of your engine. I’ll show you how to swap every engine mount on this Ford Focus Mk1. Every step is shown so that you too can make this a diy garage project.
The mounts I used are better than factory replacements, made by Vibra Technics, and bought from Burton Automotive in the UK - specialists in Ford performance parts.
Here are the links to the mounts in case you need them:

wow that is one clean engine bay!
Thanks! I try to look after it.
This is a great channel. Thanks for taking the time out in making these educational videos. Appreciate it!
You're welcome mate - glad you're finding it all useful ✌️😎
Good to have you back! So simple and a great result.
Many thanks!
I got a 2002 ZX3 a couple years ago, and she's turned me into a car person, haha. I'm excited to try working on her myself. Seeing how clean yours is under the hood makes me want to tackle that first, mine is grody and gummed over.
Glad to see that we have another car person on our hands - these are great little cars to drive 👍
Buy yourself some parts cleaner spray from an auto parts store, cover up your fuse box and battery with plastic bags, spray on and hose off with water. Let it all dry, and then hit the plastics with some armor all or tire shine. Wipe it all off with a rag. You will be amazed :)
Hi, just replaced my mounts today, thanks to your guide. It was very easy that way 😉. All the buzzing noises are gone, it gave heavy noise when turning right. The lower mount i couldn't remove the bracket. 1 bold was very tight but ik could remove the mount easy. Thanks again for your very informative video! Regards from Belgium
Glad it helped and nice work! Hope the weather is still nice in Belgium!
This one must have been hard to record. Thank you so much!
It was! But thank you, for watching and commenting :)
Greetings from Switzerland!
I bought my 2004, 1.8 petrol Zetec, Turnier three months ago :)
Greetings mate! Congrats on the buy - hope you enjoy the car! 😎✌️
@@Horus_Works Yes, I really do :)
Go on with your good work
@Zürcher Zürich Thanks mate, I will 😁
Thanks for your videos on the focus. I own a 2004 and today I followed your video and replaced all three mounts, perfect. Vibrations gone. Enjoy all your content.
Glad the vids are helpful mate. Changing engine mounts on a Mk1 are not too bad.
Well I think I don´t need to do it yet on my ST170. But you are doing good job man. Good tutorial ,step by step and clear instructions. Keep it going and wish you lot of kilometres (or miles) in your Focus.
Thanks!
Thank H, another great video, very clear and instructive. Mine is a MK2 but I’m guessing it’s basically the same process. Live long and prosper buddy 🖖 🇬🇧
Thanks Phil, really appreciate the positive comment mate 👍
Thanks for the vid. My wife's focus destroyed it's idler pulley last week so after replacing that (and belt tensioner) these mounts are next on the list.
Glad to see that the videos are useful. New mounts will make a nice difference in ride quality 👍
Damn my idler pulley also destroyed itself about 5 months ago lol.
I watched this video a couple times before i swapped my mounts. This is Zetec engine in the video, same mounts go for 1.8 TDCI 100PS (74kW).
Great video, it helped me a lot! :D
I only had one big problem that took me hours of work:
A bolt in the third mount, was stuck in a mount itself, and when i tried to unscrew it, the bolt head just poped off. Like a cut. The M10 thread was not stuck, but the bolt body through the mount.
Friend told me this could happen if the bolt is made of steel, and the mount body made of alloy. Not sure why this would happen but it did, so i had to cut the mount with a grinder in several places until i took it off finally, and then unscrew the M10 thread peace that was left.
I practically did an 8 hour job just on this one mount. The first and the second mount went just like in the video. It took only an hour to replace both of them.
Thank you for a very useful video, hope you make some more videos on this focus.
Thanks for sharing mate. And sorry to hear about the stuck bolt - hopefully others will take note in case it happens to them.
Excellent video ! , 👍 I'm going to follow your guidelines step by step. Thank you so much from Latin America!
Thanks for watching and your comment - I hope the video helps you change the motor mounts on your Mk1 Focus 😃
very good style of presentation
Thanks Alex, I hope you found the video useful 👍
Amazing video pal !!!
You helps a lot 🙌
Glad you think so!
Well done, everything shown step by step, waiting for the next films. I have the Focus myself :). Greetings from Poland!
Thank you very much! Hope you like the Focus, I think they are great cars!
@@Horus_Works yes, but it has been behaving strangely lately, the engine RPM increases by itself at idle above 3000. It can accelerate by itself, you cannot brake the engine. Heard this could be pneumothorax vent. What do you think? 1.8 Zetec engine
Very useful video! Thanks 👍
Glad you think so!
This has come in handy Erik i'll be doing mine sooner than later I think Thank you
You're most welcome David 👍
Verry well explained. Many thanks!
Welcome 🙂👍
Nice job, good video. I exchange the torque link at the last weekend. 🙂
Nagyon köszönöm Laci!
Thanks very much!
I love that you and me have the same taste in cars. I have an Ford Focus Mk1 and i love the alfa romeo gt. One day i will buy one. Cheers!
Haha thanks mate. I enjoy enthusiast cars, for me cars have to make you feel something when you own them :)
Thanks dude.. Mine are ordered and was planning on going to do it next week.. I knew it's a easy job! But you made it more easy for me 👍🏼 now I don't need to surche for the NM specs!!!
Thank again for that.. Good video!!
Greetings from the Netherlands 👋🏼
(🇳🇱the Max Verstappen33🏆country 😂)
You are very welcome my friend! I hope the weather is still good for you in the Netherlands!
Expertly done!
Thank you :)
The thanks is all mine. I just bought a 2005 zx5 at the beginning of June and I’m going over TH-cam vids so I can start replacing and upgrading my ride. Motor mounts are definitely on my to do list. I already like driving my focus and can’t wait to make the driving experience better.
Awesome video! You got yourself a new subscriber :)
Thanks mate, I appreciate it!! There is a tonne of other DIY vids for the MK1 here 😀

@@Horus_Works yea, I noticed that and I have watched almost everyone allready Lol! Very good and easy to follow instructions on every video I have seen so far, keep doing what you do, I am sure your videos will be even more famous in the future :)
@@martinolsson8303 thanks mate, I appreciate your support 😃👍
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
Now I know What I need to get the mechanic to do. Great,,,
I hope it helps mate.
Thanks for the video, I have now changed the mounts on my 2.0 Ghia Auto. Had some trouble with seized nuts on the transmission mount and had to use a nut remover to get to of them off.
Glad the video helped, and I hope the new mounts made a big difference!
@@Horus_Works massive difference, I could literally stick my finger through the transmission mount, the vibration was so bad it felt like it was running on 3 cylinders.
My Ford Focus (similar to yours) 2004 model, 1,6 engine vibrate when cold, and makes some noise inside while driving. I even switch on the radio to avoid the noise.
Good work , thanks 👏
No problem 👍
More videos please👏 good work👏👏 respect
Hey, well done on this. Good quality production, editing and content. I’m loathed to be critical but all Focus’s are inline 4 (or5). A horizontally opposed engine is a boxer engine like Subaru’s.
Again well done, I look forward to more in the future.
Good pickup Robert - you are correct of course! Thank you for watching, I appreciate it 👍
Thank your for this video, it really helped. But there is one ting you probably didn't notice: the outer bolt hole in the torque link bracket (the side the bolt head rests on) has a bushing in it with an interference fit. So when you tighten the bolt, this bushing tightens up against the bushing of the torque link. The bushing in the bracket can easily be pushed back using channel locks, so you have clearance to fit the new torque link.
So you didn't have the remove material from your torque link's bushing.
Interesting... I didn't notice that, you're right. Thanks for sharing!
good video, & it pays to do these jobs your self, the money you can save.
Thanks Colin, most jobs on cars can be done at home and fairly cheaply - I hope these videos show that. Appreciate you commenting. 👍
God job bro👍, I'm from Indonesian🙏see you
Thanks Asep! Greetings from Australia!
Hey man, love the videos, my torque link bracket sheared in 2 places and the one bolt also sheared. I am going to buy a new torque link and a new bracket, however I am struggling to find replacement bolts. Any idea where I could find those bolts online? Cheers
Hey mate, sorry to see the problems you've had. How did the torque link shear of??!! 😵 I would try and find replacement bolts from another Focus that's being parted out. Check eBay UK or USA for Focus Mk1s being parted, and message the seller with photos showing what you need. Best of luck mate 👍
درود بر شما متشکرم اقا . شما مرد باهوشی هستید .Thank you so much for this video
Most welcome 😀
You nail it Sir, can you share with me the lower engen mount number. I had replaced the one under the water tank but there is still sound coming out. Thanks again Sir, you can lecture
Hello my friend, thank you for your kind words. I purchased all of my mounts form this website:
www.burtonpower.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?appl_model=Ford+Focus+Mk1&q=engine+mounts+focus
thanks buddy, getting ready to tackle the mounts challenge soon :P ~ I really like the red hoses you have installed, any guide on how you did that? (and parts used), and did your mk1 have any boot/trunk leaks? thanks and greetings
Hi mate, happy to see that you liked the video 👍 No leaks in the boot for me.
You can check out how I put the red hoses on in this video - there is also a link to them in that video's description:
th-cam.com/video/ktZY29VX390/w-d-xo.html
Congratulations on your excellent video, greetings from Italy..but a fix for those yellowed headlights ? Bye
Soon, promise :)
Hi, tankyou for the nice video. I have a Ford Focus 1.8 TDDI MK1, and the 1st mount you show is not the same as mine, but the mounting process is the same, My question is: the other side is the same method or not
?
Hi Ricardo, the other side will be easy for you to check. Just take out the air box in front of the fuse box and you will be able to see the mount. Sorry I can't do this for you because I don't have a 1.8 here to check.
I'm from Brasil and tour vídeos are so great. Congrats. I have Ford Focus Mark 1 and where do you buy these parts?
Thanks very much! I bought the engine mounts in the UK. I have left a link in the description.
Hey dude, great video on the motor mounts. i recently got the oem engine mount that goes on the chassis under the coolant reservoir. The plastic top of the mount popped within 5 minutes of the test drive after installation. the mount still has the hydrailic fluid trapped in the rubber. I was wondering if it was a manufacturing defect so i could get a refund from Repco?
Definitely take it back mate. Nothing should be coming off the mount...
Sirve para ford focus 2006 motor duratec a2.0 ?
Hi from Bulgeria!
Здравейте
So glad to see I have people watching from all over the world! I was born in Transylvania - Romania, so we were neighbours a long time ago!
Nice!Thx men,see you end good luck.
@Mihail Kirilov 👍
Thanks for your viedos, I appreciate your work you do. Following your guides is like playing with lego as a child but with this ' small' difference it's a car not lego, however, emotions are similar 😊 after doing my mounts I noticed an engine is not levelled, it goes slightly down to the left (standing front of a car) is it okay?
Hi Adam, thanks for your comment, I appreciate it 👍
Did you replace both the transmission and the engine side mount? If you did both, there should be no problem even if there is a lean.
If not, maybe have a look to see if the other mount is failing.
@@Horus_Works I replaced 2 of 3 (the bottom one and the one under an air filter) which weren't touched for 20 years, were corroded and rubber was cracked. I left one to the left, it seems to be ok, no rust, rubber "fresh". What about levelling an engine - it came to me after doing my job (engine shaking on idle, What stopped after it).
I have a 2003 ford focus (europe) 1.6 16v. Every time I press the accelerator sharply, I hear a clicking noise from the front right. Is that sound from the motor mount?
Yes it could be a motor mount. Especially if you have a bit more engine vibration than usual 👍
Please tell me where you got those red coolant hoses

Mulțumim!
Thank you, my friend, I appreciate your support 😀🙏
Tell you what I've been thinking about and I can't find anything on TH-cam about it ,
I had a 1.3 Mk2 Escort with a oil separator for the crankcase ventilation with a PCV the same as the valve on the 1.8 / 2.0 Zetec engines can the oil separator on the 1.8/2.0 be removed and cleaned out ? I know the valve and pipe on the back of the engine can as I swapped mine out for a more rigid poly pipe which makes it breath better for the crankcase
Is this something you can look at ?
Thanks for the suggestion David. I'll take a look as I've been meaning to take a look at my PCV valve anyway. Maybe I can make it into a bigger project.
It maybe worth just going that deeper into that area just to even see what crap there is in the separator that's if it's if it's possible ?
Hey David, just wanted to give you a heads-up mate, I took a look and the oil separator is buried under the exhaust header once the engine is in the car, so I can't get to it unless I remove the headers and a few other bits. It doesn't look like I'll be able to do this any time soon so hoping you manage to find an answer without me. And if you do let me know! To be honest looking at your engine on a stand, you'd be in a better position to take the oil separator off so if you do end up doing this, let me know how it goes... Cheers for now.
@@Horus_Works Hi No the engine was not mine it was a picture off google just to show the part I was on about ,
I've just put a new PCV valve on mine I think I need to do the throttle body next which i've watched your video twice now on doing that so that will be the next job I think as she is idling a little low to me ,
Thank you in anycase :-)
@David Quotagious ah I see, sorry my bad, I thought it was your engine. Enjoy the vids mate, more to come, and stay in touch - see you on the FB groups 😎👍
Very instructional video, but Jeezus the music!
Haha, thanks, not a fan of the music?
@@Horus_Works I have a sound system connected to my PC and the "popping" sound in the music can still be heard when sound is almost muted but your voice at that sound level can`t be heard at all. I am an old geezer and my music taste apparently is not the same as yours, and that is of course okay. Still I think you will have more viewers to your excellent videos with more, or maybe none, discrete music.
@B Rallybear thanks for the feedback mate - I'll revisit the audio settings on future videos 👍
Bro i have a problem with my car, Ford focus mk1 ghia 1.8. How can i send to you a video?
Hi Cosmin, see if you can describe it here mate, or jump on the Facebook focus mk1 groups - I could take a look at the video there, as well as many other Mk1 experts!
Are the engine mounts the same for gasoline and diesel engines? I have a 1.8tddi diesel engine.I would like to get these engine mounts..
I would assume that the engine mounts for a Focus MK1 diesel would be different because it's a different configuration - different engine and gearbox, so probably the mounting points would be different. I'm not 100% sure on that though - I just don't have a diesel here to check, we never got the tddi here.
They are exactly the same and on the same places. I have a tddi
what size those stock rims u have?
They are 17" factory rims
you are gonna have more vibration with those mounts:)))
you did wrong by grinding , it goes in with a tap , and the metal cilinder is meant to bind to the support and have the poly bush move
I knew that but I wanted these anyway - because performance modifications later on. If you don't want vibrations the normal oem mounts are fitted exactly the same way.
My Ford Focus 1.8 16V vibrates when the engine is warm
If only when warm, it might not be your engine mounts.
I have a st170 2003 will everything be the same
If not exactly the same then it will be very very close. But if you haven't worked on a car before, you may want to start by doing other small projects on your car first and get familiar with working on cars. This is not a project you should attempt if you don't have the confidence, or if you don't have the tools.
@@Horus_Works thank u
Stock 2.0 ST models?
Same engine mate so should be exactly the same steps.
for ST170，driver side ＆lower engine mount are same with 2.0。but passenger side are different，they had different pitch
gret video,.. Why the music? its so grating. Do we need music?
Thanks Colin, not a fan of the music I see? Not necessary, just trying to keeps the vids interesting. 👍
Great video, thank you! Here are OEM numbers of engine and transmission mount for 1.8 / 2.0 gasoline zetec ;) 1112025, 1061125
Awesome, thanks for sharing! 👍
if you dont change the nuts and bolts the torque rating will be off
Thanks for the tip. I'll check them to make sure they are still torqued.
@@Horus_Works im subbed ;) love to see a man passioned about a nice car most think is a old pos ;) i own the st170(svt in usa) and i love it . Happy motoring ;)
@Mike Mayers I think they are highly underrated - love these cars. Nothing out-handles them for the money. Welcome aboard - glad to have you 👍
If you buy cheap motor mounts you will replace them again in 6 months.
That's correct. That's why these are quality products. Better than OEM.
Clearly bs....
You can't click your fingers with rubber gloves on. 😊
hahaha
