Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on what engine mounts to use for XD2, XD3 turbo diesel engines in a 505. Mine currently has the same mounts as the 2.2L GTI engine. These are worn and soft: there is a lot of engine movement when the throttle is applied. Did the series 2 cars come with this mount same as the GTI or should it have a different style mount? There a multiple options online and I wonder which is better suited to the diesel engine. I will try to attach two pics of the different styles available. The bigger round one is the GTI mount and more expensive.

Pretty sure Diesel and Douvrin mounts are the same. Both pretty rough engines so they need the extra cushioning.
