Rubber engine motor mounts are a very high failure rate part on these cars due to both age and mileage.  Have you noticed your Mercedes 240D sedan is recently shaking more at idle. Maybe you just thought it was because it was a four cylinder. Maybe you are noticing new vibrations that were not there before. You may have also noticed the engine makes some clunking noise when you shut it off. When was the last time your rubber motor mounts were changed? Diesels are especially hard on rubber mounts because of the excessive vibrations associated with the type of engine. If they have not been changed in the last 8 years then they most likely should be.

Look below to check out our special ratcheting hex tool for help in removing and replacing these motor mounts. A must have to save your sanity! 

And if you don't have a heavy duty 8 mm hex socket consider the tool below: 

Mercedes 123 126 Chassis H.D. Hex Socket for Motor Mount Removal

Removing the front rubber engine mounts requires getting under the car and going up inside a hole in the subframe to remove the main bolt. And it can be a bear! I don't know who they hired to tighten these at the factory but he must have been a brute. These hex bolts are usually in very tight and you will need a heavy, strong and tight fitting 8 mm hex socket. Only 1/2 inch drive will do. You don't want to break off the tip nor do you want to deal with a rounded out hex under way up inside that channel... Talk about a big wrench dance...
