Compressor, Power Steering, and Driver Side Motor Mount Replacement


Anyone have experience with removing the Power Steering Pump & Compressor? I cannot access the Driver Side Motor Mount without removing the formentioned items :-(. Some advice would be nice. Thanks in advance.

Which year/model do you have? Might want to put that in your signature. Can't answer the question without knowing which engine you have.

Looks like you have the M272 V6, and also access to some sort of MB system. Unfortunately I can't help you as my car is a different model.

Does the official document say to remove all that stuff?

WIS says remove airfilter and exhaust system and raise the engine. Than you can access the bolt from the top.

That worked with the passenger-side motor-mount. The driver's side is the problem. Even with lifting the engine, I still couldn't reach it. I may have to remove the Power Steering Pump to have better access to the mount. Thank you.

Would a special wrench work?

Boy that looks familiar. Worked well on the passenger side of the vehicle. That was the easy one. I just can't get at the driver side mount with all the tubing from the compressor. I have not given up on it though. Thanks for your reply.

At my M111 engine I removed some clamps for the AC compressor hoses to make some space and used very long extensions to reach the bolt from the top.

Sun Shade in the Car

Power steering is a mechanical device installed on a vehicle that reduces the effort needed to turn the steering wheel, making it easier for the vehicle to turn or maneuver at low speeds.
