Title: Red dot on engine mounts
Post by: R.E.wing_fc3s on April 24, 2024, 15:55:18

Hello i checked the service manual and some engine mount threads and didnt find an answer. I assume the red dot on genuine mb motor mounts needs to be pointing forward on both mounts? Or does it not matter?

I think the red dots point towards the front of the car. If you can see an arrow and "vorn" on the top of the mount that's a directional message.

The color of the dot is supposed to indicated the hardness of the rubber used for the mount. There is also a green dot on some and in theory is a different hardness. Not sure if they actually stick to that convention now. I tried finding the color code but haven't located it.
