Left Powertrain Mount — Removal and Installation (Largus 1)

A worn left support is one of the most common causes of strong vibrations. It may also manifest itself as a dull knock on the left side when starting the car.

Note: For the catalog number of this part, see here.

See also Replacing the right support, Replacing the rear support.

Removal

Note: The left support can be removed assembled with or without the bracket (separately).

Place the vehicle in the work area, apply the parking brake and turn off the ignition.

Remove the battery (see here).

If necessary, remove the battery tray (shelf).

Remove the ECM (see here).

Remove the engine crankcase guard (see here).

If special equipment is available:

Install crossbar 1, Figure 14-1, on the gutters of the engine compartment and hook it to the lifting eye on the engine on the flywheel side (crossbar for hanging the engine type RST-500 ES f. "RANGER").

In the absence of special equipment:

We place a support under the engine crankcase (for example a jack) through a wooden block



If there is no suitable support or jack, you can use a mounting paddle to slightly raise the right side of the engine (for the oil pan, resting the spatula on the subframe) and insert a wooden wedge between the subframe and the oil pan.



Mark the position of the left engine mount support on the body with a marker.





Loosen the power steering pipe mounting bolt (if the car is equipped with it) to the left engine mount (replacement head 13, extension, ratchet).



Unscrew nut 1, Fig. 14-2, studs securing the gearbox to cushion 2 of the left engine mount (replacement head 16, extension, ratchet).



If necessary, use a bronze drift to knock out stud 5 of the gearbox mount from the left engine mount cushion (bronze technological punch, hammer).





Unscrew the four bolts 1, Figure 14-3, securing the left engine mount to the body, while the lower bolts only need to be loosened (replacement head 13, extension, ratchet)



... and remove the left support



Loosen the three bolts securing the left engine mount bracket to the gearbox and remove the bracket (replacement head 16, extension, ratchet).



And if you removed the support assembly with the bracket, then by unscrewing the bolt, separate the support and the bracket




Remove the rubber insert from the support.



And having unscrewed two 18 nuts, disconnect the rubber cushion of the engine support.
