Hi, I have just blown out the left engine mount on my (recently new to me) 07 E320cdi. I accelerated briskly out of a junction and the inside rear wheel skipped over hole with a bang as it landed and regained traction. Until that point I couldn't feel the engine running, after it it was horrible vibration. Giving it a test, the left side of the engine lifts a good 3-4" when revved in first.
I have found some how to's for the straight 6, but not the V6. So has anyone done this job - I intend to replace both mounts. How much did you have to dismantle?
From the official worksheet it appears both air filter boxes and the catalytic convertor need to be removed. Is it possible to do without removing the cat?
