Engine mounting: Background
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
To provide effective damping of engine movement, the rear and the right-hand engine mounts are of hydraulic type. Their most effective working range is between idling speed and about 1800 RPM.
The use of hydraulic engine mounts confers the following advantages:
- improved damping of horizontal engine movements during acceleration
- improved damping of vertical engine movements on bumpy roads
- reduction of structure -borne sound between engine and body.
