this is my 1.6 HDi Peugeot Partner 2007 roughly about 100,000 miles and what I'm
really experiencing is in almost all gears 3rd 4th and 5th when the needle
goes past roughly about 1,500 rpm I really the whole car
really shakes so what I suspect is that the mounts the engine mounts one is
about there and another one underneath the battery box they're really one of
them has perished or the one at the back but that's a bit more tough so I'll
first try to replace the front two and see if this shaking stops, stay tuned
so the two mounts, the right hand side if you are from
inside is down here and it's underneath the coolant
reservoir it's got these three bolts around here, so I will be replacing that one as
well and the other mount is straight underneath the battery so I've already
removed I've put some glove, so I've removed the
self release clamp and need to remove that 8 mil bolt, next thing is really
the battery is held by this bolt and kind of bracket down there and this
is 10 millimeter socket and the bracket comes out basically one lifts it and
this is the bracket that holds the battery next thing is really just to
pull out the battery basically lift straight up and kind of careful with all
the stuff so the next thing is to undo there is a plastic tray so that's really
the plastic tray, but the thing is that there is a pipe that is connected
so let me lift it slightly you can see well down here where my finger is there
is a pipe that goes from the from this hole on the plastic tray next down there
I'll show it from underneath so here is underneath the engine and the pipe so
this is the gearbox and I'll try to show this pipe so it it starts from from
underneath where my potential you cannot see it but this is actually this is
actually the pipe here and goes goes along
and goes along goes along there and in comes comes about here underneath so
basically I just need to be pulled out so that's the pipe so basically
it will slide through these these actual holes so next thing
is to remove this actual plastic tray and the pipe should really just pull
there we go pulled out so this is at the bottom so I suspect if
water collects kind of to to drain so next thing is to undo or these three
bolts to hold the battery tray but the cables are really with these plastic
things one cable here one day two more there and one positive terminal and
these two are hold there, so in order to release this from the cable so these are kind of
straps that break but I have a tool to kind of unclip them but I'll try to not
to really break them extremely I've already undone that one but I'll try
with a screwdriver somehow to undo it so wouldn't really break that it's not
too easy
so I try not to break them but it's not entirely easy that's all right yeah that
came out alright, but still not entirely perfect so they have this round
thing probably can't see it but they have this like
they have this round thing here this round thing here and this plastic that
they kind of break so I'll see if I do it with a zip tie afterwards the next
thing is the 3 bolts and this is 13 millimeters all 3, so now the
tray should be able to lift pretty nicely unless it's caught by something
else but I don't think there is anything else just too many cables around, it's caught by a
few things
there we go and the tray is out, so that's the gearbox mount it's moving
quite a bit actually I mean I've supported the the gearbox a
bit so next really to undo these two bolts and one has to pay attention
to how they are mounted so what I can do is actually I can clear this a
bit and then put a marker just so I know where and this was
to support the gearbox and I have a piece of wood that you can
stick and the only kind of convenient place is about here so I can kind of
stick it under there that seems okay and I can put the jack underneath actually
slightly only very slightly raise the gearbox I can see this is actually
lifting so it's only only to support it slightly don't really to raise it that
much it doesn't move kind of to support it not not to drop and this more kind of
its kind of stable
that's it that should be actually alright next thing is to undo the the
two bolts, that one and that one these are 13 millimeter socket
next is that bolt and that's 18 mil let's see how this will go
so there is a small metal thing that goes like, this can now go out and I can see
I was it's probably a bit gone there is quite a quite a bit of and quite a bit
of bits and pieces here so that was I guess to be taken out but that probably
has gone a bit I can see there is the rubber is slightly going away and has
leaked into into here so it's rather breaking apart so that was vibrating a
bit so the replacement that I have it's Febi and all the description all the
components are in the description of the video if you want to check out where I
got those from so this is my replacement it's pretty pretty good inside I mean
you can see it's it's quite not like the other was leaking quite a few bits and
pieces so this is a comparison between the two it seems to be exactly the same
seems to be exactly the same size but here is kind of leaking a bit it's
probably shrunk quite a bit and it's yeah rubber is not entirely good but
here it's a quite quite nice so the next thing is fitting it like that and
putting putting it together so I really cleaned this quite well it was I scrubbed
it quite well it was with a lot of with a lot of rubber from from the thing from
the old one so next thing is to push that inside
has to be pushed quite well there we go
I think that's kind of all right push it inside, that's about that's
about the same so I needed to raise the gearbox even more otherwise this was not
this wasn't lifting too much so I can't really put
the bolt, yeah my that's about accurate for my my marker it should be actually
alright about that, I suspect it's not that crucial to be exactly
smack bang in the middle
right, tie up the bolts
only slightly, not really that much, kind of to be loose next thing is to tie this on
slightly so the two bolts that bolt and that bolt it's 19 Newton meters torque
so he's really a torque wrench 19 Newton meters 19 and the other 19 it
inconvenient with my extension and that one there are two settings I'm not too sure
one says 50 Newton meters the other 65 but the 50 is 50 +-5 Newton meters so
I'll do 55 Newton meters on that one so 56 for the middle one that's 56 the next
thing is really to lower the jack the gearbox to kind of be
supported by this and fitting is the reverse
procedure of this and I'll do all this I'm not going to film it and
then I'll report really whether these vibrations have disappeared
