Product Overview

The engine mount, OEM number A2042404217, is the front left mount fitted to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W204 and S204 wagon), covering the C230, C250, C300, and C350, and the related E-Class (W212), covering the E350 and E400, across the 2008-2016 production run. It's typically sold as part of a matched set alongside the front right mount (A2042404317) and the rear transmission mount (A2122400418), since all three are commonly replaced together during a drivetrain mount service.

A worn or failing engine mount typically shows up as excessive engine vibration felt in the cabin, a clunking noise during acceleration or braking, or visible cracking in the mount's rubber body. GSK Auto manufactures this mount to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

What Is an Engine Mount?

Function: The engine mount secures the engine to the vehicle's chassis while absorbing vibration and movement generated during engine operation.

Working Principle: A rubber or hydraulic element inside the mount cushions the connection between the engine and chassis, isolating vibration and shock from reaching the cabin while still holding the engine firmly in place.

Importance: On a widely used mid-size sedan platform, a properly functioning engine mount is essential for smooth, quiet ride quality and preventing excess engine movement.

Common Failures & Signs: Excessive engine vibration felt through the cabin, especially at idle. Clunking or impact noise from the engine bay during acceleration. Visible cracking, tearing, or sagging in the mount's rubber body. Increased engine movement noticeable when accelerating or braking.
