FAQs
What does an engine mount do?
An engine mount secures the engine to the vehicle's chassis and absorbs vibrations and noise generated by the engine, providing a smoother and quieter ride.
How do I know if my engine mount needs replacing?
Symptoms include increased engine vibration felt in the cabin, unusual noises (clunking, rattling) during acceleration or gear changes, and a noticeable sagging of the engine.
What is the main difference between rubber-metal and hydraulic engine mounts?
Rubber-metal mounts use a simple rubber bushing to absorb vibrations. Hydraulic mounts contain fluid and are designed for more advanced damping, often providing a higher level of refinement.
Can I replace the engine mount myself?
While possible, engine mount replacement requires specific tools and knowledge to safely support the engine and avoid damage. It is generally recommended to have this done by a professional mechanic.
What is the OEM reference number for this part?
The OEM reference number compatible with this First Line FEM3520 engine mount is FIAT 46528850.
Which Fiat models is the FEM3520 compatible with?
It is designed for Fiat Idea (350_) models from January 2004 onwards and Fiat Punto (188_) models from September 1999 to January 2003.
Troubleshooting
Excessive vibration after installation
Ensure the engine mount was correctly torqued during installation. Check if other engine mounts or suspension components are also worn and require replacement.
Noise persists during gear changes
Verify that the correct engine mount was installed for the specific vehicle model and transmission type. Other transmission or drivetrain components might be the source of the noise.
Mount appears to be damaged or cracked
Inspect for any signs of fluid leaks around the mount, which could indicate internal failure. If damage is present, the mount should be replaced immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle is a Fiat Idea (350_) from January 2004 onwards or a Fiat Punto (188_) from September 1999 to January 2003. Cross-reference the OEM part number FIAT 46528850 with your vehicle's existing mount or consult a parts specialist.
Setup: Installation of an engine mount is a mechanical procedure best performed by a qualified mechanic. It typically involves safely lifting the vehicle, supporting the engine, unbolting the old mount, and carefully installing the new one, ensuring all bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
Care: Engine mounts are generally maintenance-free. However, regularly inspect them for signs of cracking, tearing, or separation of the rubber from the metal. Avoid exposure to excessive heat, oil, or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the rubber over time.
