Around the wheel Why are we increasing the range of Hydraulic Engine Mounts? Hydraulic engine mounts are becoming more popular because they provide a much smoother and quieter ride than mechanical mounts and are more frequently being fitted as standard on new vehicles. The main difference between hydraulic mounts and standard rubber engine mounts is that they are more dynamic and combine the acoustic isolation functions of a conventional rubber engine mount, but with a balanced damping performance.

11

Hydro Engine mounts have an upper and lower chamber connected by a series of channels which are separated by a rubber membrane inside a cage. The mount is filled with hydraulic fluid, which generates secondary damping. As they are critical to the vehicles’ handling and performance, hydraulic engine mounts should be carefully inspected to make sure they are working properly and replaced when showing signs of wear and tear. Our growing range of Hydraulic Engine Mounts cover various BMW, Mercedes and VAG applications.
