New engine mount makes all the difference

Are there any after market mounts that are better than Volvo for the left/right upper mounts?

I am still not convinced what I got by ordering that mount from Ebay - came from US, looks exactly like on photo (harsh cut and CNCed metal with rubber inside) with no "FORD" stamps whatsoever, but to my understanding - thats what everyone is getting no matter what. You can browse other auctions and find "OEM FORD" parts even with ford box but I have no clue whether you are getting the same part or aftermarket one anyway.
I can only conirm mine goes now 2nd year with no problems and still no signs of wear&tear (36k miles now) and had cost me around 60e inc delivery.

upper mounts - you are best going with OEM ones, but you can upgrade the under-battery one from old type (if you have it) to new, hydraulic one, using OEM upgrade kit (apx 100e), thats what I am doing in next month.

The CNC in the pictures of the Pumaspeed one doesn't look so bad but I guess we'll see tomorrow when I take delivery of it.

I'll get some Volvo mounts on order for the rest, thanks.

Share some photos when you get it, if you dont mind. Im wondering if there are any actual p/n marks stamped on yours.
thanks

Just taken delivery of this at work.

Looks the same as the others people have got. Not sure if there is any difference in bushing quality but the CNC certainly looks the same as the eBay ones.

Can this be fitted yourself easily enough or is it best to get a garage to do it?

Yep, looks same as mine.

Cant answer on fitting as I had my Indie doing it, but it took him 20 mins and not much complaining so I think its pretty easy (with right tools)

Well I got this fitted this evening.

Shifting up is now silky smooth, however when changing down quickly the knock is still there so I assume I've got another knackered mount somewhere. Time to get the wallet out again.

Hello, I am looking to fit it in a C30 D5 auto (AW55-50), from what I've read there's no engine mount in AW55-50 D5, but I'd be buying the brace number 31277998 and then the CM5Z-6068-A. Do you know if it will fit?

I am in the same boat here. I've not been able to see any form of mount for my gearbox sadly so hoping on a reply to get some info on parts as I get some clunking myself.

It was only after a little research into the torque mounts I came across a lot of the American Focus ST/RS forums going on about this E-Focus mount. Once I managed to obtain the part number I embarked on my quest to get hold of one, in the end I had to resort to importing one from the USA.

If you see my post (#55) on the previous page - LINKY! you will see pictures of the mount and you can see the part number too.

E-Focus mount part numbers:

CM58-6P082-BA - Engineering Part Number
CM5Z-6068-A - Ford Service Part Number

The part cost me £53 GBP and that included the delivery, I then had a small amount of import tax to pay on top of this but cost me less than £65 GBP all in. When I got round to fitting it was a very easy and quick job to do with basic tools.

You can get the mount from places such as this - LINKY!

Funny enough, if you type in the Engineering Part Number on ebay.co.uk, it shows listings for Focus Mk3 2.0 ST and judging by the pictures looks exactly like the e-Focus torque mount

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOCUS-2-0...-/163689576035

If you type the e-Focus part nr it doesn’t display any results and shows united state sellers (or china mock ups)

Are they the same? E-Focus and 2.0 ST/ 2.3 RS?

Just changed mine on my 130k c30. Damn, the grabby clutch issue has almost completely gone. I only used a cheap aftermarket £9 standard design one too Im tempted to try the efocus one next.
