1995 C220
Odd vibrating droning sound at 1800 - 2000 rpm
Hi guys
I took my 1995 C220 manual for a full service about 2 months ago, and the mechanic told me that my engine mountings must be replaced. I then bought the mountings myself and had it installed 2 weeks ago. After this installation, I experienced an odd droning sound under the hood in each gear between 1800 and 2000 rpm. I do not hear it when my car is in idle.
Also, my gear shifter was quite stiff after the engine mount replacement and I had to push the clutch pedal down hard onto the floor for a decent gear change. I then decided to purchace a transmission mount and install it myself. I did this yesterday. The gear shifter as well as the clutch pedal are like new again, but the droning sound persists.
Any ideas as to why there is a droning sound and where it's coming from? I did not hear it with the older mountings, but the loud engine and the vibrations throughout the car was so bad, I might not have noticed it. Will I be able to solve this problem myself, or would I have to take it in to be taken care of?
Any replies would be much appreciated
Oh, I forgot to add that the noise only happens at the above mentioned revs and dissipates completely above 2000 rpm
