- In this video, I'll be replacing the top engine mount of my MK2 Focus.
This was an easy job enough to do, straight forward and only took around 30 minutes to complete.
Although this was done on a MK2 facelift 1.6 petrol, it may also apply to many other generations of the Focus, including diesel's, similar engined Ford cars and Volvo S40 MK2 with similar top engine mounts. However, some tool sizes may differ.

wow this is huge inspiration I will check tomorrow status of mine and see if needs replacement
Finally got this job done today! Thanks for the help!
No worries, glad it helped
Nice job. I can confirm the job is the same on the MK2 Focus 1.8 TDCi, although the part itself is slightly different.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
Great video very clear 👍
Thank you very much, just completed the job with ease thanks to you.
You’re welcome, glad it helped
Espectáculo!!! És um professional!!
Great explanation 👌
Thanks for the video. Nice job !
You’re welcome.
If in the future, you have to replace the brackets again. I recommend that it be from the Hutchinson brand. They make the original Ford [FoMoCo]. At Autodoc, it cost me the hydraulic support and the lower one, about 80 euros. Approximately £ 68.
Cool, thank you for the tip
little tip lift your expansion tank up off its clipsm then you can just lift the mount straught up
Very good point.
Hello mate, good videos. What would be amazing is a video on how to inspect the car underneath for signs of corrosion and/or jacking up and checking front/rear suspension for rust and failure. Just bought a mk2 1.6 zetec on Friday with no service history also
Edit: jacking points and axle stand locations etc
Thanks, that’s a good suggestion and I’ll do that at some point, hopefully when it gets warmer
Nice. I will try to fix mine soon. I saw some oil from about 1 month or so and I had no idea where it came from.
Check the transmission seals
@@squelch079 I fixed. But after 1 month the new one also started to leak. :-/
@@oviovidiu8804 have you changed bot seals have alook on the driveshafts
Hi I I've just had the same situation it's actually a water based fluid with ethenal and I couldn't think were it was coming from until closer inspection on the engine mount.
@@oviovidiu8804 check water coolent bottle as if its original it may have cracked underneath as this happened to my 2010 focus
Good video. This has happened to my 2010 focus I noticed fluid oozing from the right side engine mount which I only noticed when I changed the coolent bottle which was cracked underneath. The fluid from the mount is a dark redish ethinol based water. I've ordered a new new mount from Ford for £124 but I believe buying the genuine part will better in the long run.
Thank you.
Yes common fault the MK3 too. The on on my wife’s car was replaced at only 42k miles and 8 years of age. It was in much worse shape than mine. If you want OEM quality, a Lemforder part will last just as long and cost less.
@Gentil's Garage yes I appreciate that and many thanks if it goes again I'll get one from lemforder it was that I already ordered it and pick up tomorrow. I never new until yesterday thay had fluid containd in the mounts , I thought they were solid rubber.
@@brianfearn4246 yes, I wasn’t aware either. A lot of mounts and and suspension bushes are oil filled these days.
Yeah got the same issue on a mk3 2015 focus its leaked oil out of the mount as if the newer car has even worse engine mounts that break so soon feels slightly rough at idle i thought that was just the crappy e10 fuel but i noticed the oil on the engine mount the other day so that will be why
My wife’s Mk3 had the top mount replaced when the car was 7 years old and just over 40k miles. It lasted less than my mk2 which was older and has more that doublethink mileage.
Hi Gentil, nice video, thanks, have same focus and replaced mount myself to (while watching this video😂). Have one question, can you please tell me where is Crankcase oil breather is located? Found some oil in air filter compartment, all information I found online is that crankcase breather needs to be replaced but can't locate it.
Thank you.
I’m afraid I don’t know the location of that, so I need to investigate.
Hi, I have replaced all three mounts on my 1.6 petrol (same as yours) with ridex engine mounts. However, the car now vibrates alot more than it did. So, I have adjusted the alignement of the engine and gearbox mounts multiple times which has made it vibrate less, but I've noticed that I can hear whats going on in the gearbox alot more than I used to. Cold starts vibrate alot but it settles once up to temperature but not completely. I've torqued everything down to the right spec, but it still seems as if the engine isn't sitting quite right. I'm not sure if you have any ideas? Would it be worth trying different brand mounts?
Hi. It could well be that the rubber compound of the mounts is a bit harder than other brands. Also, the old mounts might had been hiding an issue with the engine itself. Look into that first.
Hi good video. Have you changed a catalytic converter on a 1.6 2006. I need to get mine out its a twin cylinder one. Can i unbolt the engine mount and lever the engine over and get it out from the top because i cant get it out from underneath
No, I haven’t change the cat on the MK2 and it still has the original one. I have changed the car on my wife’s MK3 Ecoboost, but haven’t had a chance to edit the video yet. Not a bad job actually, but fiddly in a couple of areas.
Can i know where have you bought that type of engine mount replacement?
PLS share a link
Great job Buddy and thanks for all!
Eurocarparts. It’s also available on Autodoc
👍👏👏
Hi, would this mount be classed as the upper right mount. I'm looking on car parts 4 less and it doesn't show pictures
Hi the part number is on the video description: 337591089 it should be upper right (steering wheel position) the other upper mount looks different from mine and is located under the battery tray
Hi sorry I didn't notice that, thanks for getting back to me though and thanks for the great vid
@@jordano494 no worries. Glad it helped.
I double checked the number to make sure it was still valid as they can change. Also, the fact that the site has no pictures of the part doesn’t help either.
How about the left mount where can i find it because none of the shops don’t have it
For the 1.6 petrol, there is only this one at the top. There are two at the bottom
Hello mate could you tell me where to get the cheapest torque wrench for this job and which one I would need thank you
Hi, cheapest place would probably be EBay or Amazon.
However, I found this one on Screwfix which should be sufficient for most needs:

Thank you very much for your help the video was very helpful and I've watched one of your other videos which showed me how to fit air-conditioning Piper very successful thank you
@@jasonheaton1861 thank you very much, I’m glad it helped.
I have a similar issue on my 2.0 duratec engined 56 plate 2006 focus mk2, the mount looks surprisingly similar, I don't suppose if you know if this fits, does it mention any other models it's suitable for?
Cheers Phil
Hi, I know it fits many petrol models, but not exactly sure if it fits the diesel ones.
Best way to checkbox on Ford Zap parts catalogue, input the VIN and go to Group Parts/Body & Paint/Engine & Transmission Mounts
@@GentilsGarage Mine is the 2.0 duratec petrol not many have that engine, most here in the UK are 1.8 and 1.6 petrol.
Hence my confusion re which one fits, I rang ford and gave them my reg no they gave me a part number 1811940
There is a BUT though I just typed that into Amazon and a few parts came up particularly a quality looking Febi Bilstein one for £36 when I check on there site if that fits my model and put in my car make and engine size etc It says it doesn't fit!
Now do I trust Amazon or the lady at Ford who gave me the part number?
Amazon suggests an alternative to fit my car but it's a slightly different shape! I'm just having a look at mine to see if I can determine what is actually fitted if I can see a part number, obviously I can't remove until I have the new part.
Another complication I see is I have a metal fixed aircon pipe going directly over the mount?
@@pdtech4524 what is the year and reg of your car?
@@pdtech4524 I checked Autodoc and the part number that Ford gave you matches with the ones compatible with the 2.0l cars.
@@GentilsGarage The Amazon photo for the Febi bilstein one looks like mine, even has a little cast shape on top to accept the little rubber V shaped aircon pipe guide.
Although the amazon site suggests it won't fit mine!
The alternative mount they suggest does fit, doesn't have that cast part on top, assuming the photos of the item are correct, amazon does have a habit of listing one item and showing a completely different photo!
It's £36 with free shipping as I have amazon prime
Is it safe to drive I've ordered part but can't get it for 3 days
Should be ok as long it’s not completely split
Hi mate where did u get the part from
Hi, I got it from Car Parts 4 U. I think the number is on the video description
Could this component cause vibrations at like 3000 rpm that can be felt through the pedals?
Hi, don't really think so. That could be an issue with the gearbox or flywheel, but honestly, I don't know
@GentilsGarage Thanks for answering I'm not sure what's causing the vibration in my focus mk2.5 I can feel it through the pedals when I'm shifting or braking almost like a buzz , and I've seen a little bit of oil around the mount...and the engine is louder as well
@@nikosgreekman8812 ok, if the mount is leaking oil, definitely replace it. Regarding the rest, I’m not really sure. Is it a 1.6 petrol as well?
@GentilsGarage it's the 1.6 petrol with the Ti vct engine.
@@nikosgreekman8812 Did you fix the issue?
Thank you for taking time to put this together, I have the same on my wife's car, a vibration and perished poor condition mount. I have looked up the part on carparts4less and there are two listed - one as "right" and the other as "upper right", can you confirm which one you ordered in the video. I believe it is the "right" mount one code 337591119.
Edit confirmed below it is the upper right listing.
I’ve checked the invoice and it’s this one: 337591089
@@GentilsGarage thank you for taking time out to reply! That 337591119 corresponds to the upper right if anyone is wondering like me. I’ll buy you a virtual drink!
@@BrooksterMax cheers. I’ve added the reference number to the description.
At what mileage your wife engine mount has need change and what engine it is?
The one on my wife’s car was changed at 42k and 8 years of age
@@GentilsGarage So they are very sensitive...
Thanks for info!
@@elzrinja365 depends on the use I think, but it’s an easy job anyway.
@@GentilsGarage Thats right
That's only one of the engine mounts changed though
That’s what I say in the video. Go to 13:30 and you’ll hear me saying it.
Do you have an Instagram page please?
Yes, click the link on the video description
The coolant is way above the max
As I explained on a previous comment, the car is parked on a inclined area, hence why it is showing above the mark
Dont worry the car wont explode! 🤣🤣
@@scottykilmer1094 hahaha thank god!
