W211 Engine Mounts - expensive job?

[timtjohnson]

My E280 CDI (2007) shakes gently. Whilst stationary the steering wheel vibrates slightly and the car shakes (similar to bad wheel balancing) when travelling above 40 mph. At my last service I was advised that there was slight engine mount leakage and i'm now considering getting them replaced but i don't want to spend silly money on something that won't make any difference.

Does anyone know how much labour (book time) this job is?

Just did mine myself on my w210. Parts from MB about £200, including tranmission mount which I would change at the same time, as it was far worse then the engine mounts, and you'll notice a big difference in the gearbox once it's changed, much smoother.

Takes about 3 hours with jacks and blocks at home. Garage time on a ramp I'd guess no more than two hours.

Try European Car Parts (ECP) for parts and save £50, I was £148 for all three.
