2007 C30 T5 Engine mounts

jpal

Hello everyone, I recently bought a C30 manual 6spd 114xxxkms for 5k, previous owner said only the engine mounts need to be done, otherwise I have done a full service (oil, coolant, brakes ect) but im having a bit of trouble finding upgraded engine/trans mounts, specifically ive been looking for polyurethane bushings but not sure where to get them in AUS, any ideas?

jpal hardrace make upgraded urethane engine and gearbox mounts. You have a few options for torque mounts.

Pretty sure the lower torque reaction mount (on the bottom in the centre) can be utilised from the Ford Focus XR5 and was a more solid rubber than the original Volvo mount used on the earlier cars. The MY11 C30T5 may have used this mount. I've also heard there's a solid rubber mount from the electric Ford Focus that can be used here. I used the former in my 2008 C30 T5. Not sure about the left and right mounts. I wouldn't go poly as I'd be worried about noise and vibration and durability, but depends on what your use case is.

Stock hydraulic mounts will last about 5 years depending on how hard you drive and if you have modified the car. I run the hardrace mounts and they're great, but my c30 is heavily modified so I compromised NVH a long time ago.

If your planning on driving it hard I wouldn't use the stock hydraulic mounts.
