Hi, does anyone know in more detail about the stock torque mount for the new MK8.5 Fiesta ST. It’s much different compared to the MK8 ST one and looks to be for the greater good. I’m hoping that the MK8.

5 Torque Mount can replace the MK8 one but if anyone knows why it may not be possible I would appreciate any advice.

thank you

I wonder if MY21 already has this torque mount, so last model before facelift

I have a Dec 2021 car. Mk8
Give me an idea where to look and I will try and have a look.

Maybe somewhere like Ford microcat (ECAT) if you have access?

No idea what the *** means. 🤣

Back of the engine at the bottom. I think you have to take the undertray off to see it Ken

Ah, OK. So won't be able to do that.

Run in service, now there's a blast from the past.

Required in 1986 with my first car, mk2 Pop Plus Fiesta (which my Dad bought and passed onto me). Oil change required after 600 miles.

Oil and filter bought just waiting for the car back from getting ppf.

In the past I used Micro cat for Ford Europe, but I no longer run a VM 32-bit machine (program is still not 64-bit)

Checked my 22 plate ST edition and this is what it has

And the 8?

Not sure what you mean?

I wonder which one they used on the latest 8 ST MY 21

Mine was December 2021 and is defiantly the usual MK8 mount. . . . . for now anyway.

 

[Glenn6]

Got my 8 in February 2022.

A post on Facebook suggest that the mk8 5 mount will not directly fit to the mk8 but looks like Pumaspeed sell it with a bracket to fit mk8.

Has anyone confirmed that the new mount is better?

Only one of the Bosses from Pumaspeed so far.

Make of that what you will.
