Dacia Duster Engine Mount: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

A genuinely honest, real dealer admission: a persistent clunk was diagnosed as a permanent design characteristic — plus a genuinely harmless, loud rattle worth ruling out first.

Generation covered: this guide is for the first-generation (2010–2017) and second-generation (2017–2024) Duster — not the brand-new third-generation Duster launched in late 2023/2024, which is too recent for this guide and uses different parts throughout. Check your logbook or VIN if you're unsure which generation you have.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — engine mount (aftermarket) Febi 1005982 / Corteco 49190151

Accuracy note: Covers the Dacia Duster (Mk2 2018-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Engine mounts are sold by position (left, right, front, rear, upper, lower), and the right one depends on the engine, the gearbox (manual, automatic or dual-clutch) and the trim. The references below are examples from the UK aftermarket catalogue for the engines checked on this generation, so match your own engine code and gearbox before ordering; the carmaker's own numbers are not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine mount against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match.

Engine Mount — Rear (aftermarket)	Original Imperium 610689, Febi 1005982
Engine Mount — Front lower (aftermarket)	Corteco 49190151
Engine Mount — Left (aftermarket)	Original Imperium 34620
Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — mounts differ by engine and gearbox, so order the genuine ones against your VIN
Fitment notes	The listing above shows examples for the engines checked; petrol, diesel, manual and automatic versions often use different mounts, and cars usually have more than one mount.

A Genuinely Honest, Real Admission Worth Knowing About — Dacia Duster Engine Mount

Before assuming every clunk or rattle can be permanently fixed, this is genuinely worth knowing: one documented case saw a dealer diagnose a persistent clunk (felt through the brake pedal and steering, especially at low speed or full lock) as coming from a component of the brake assembly contacting the caliper — with the dealer explicitly stating this was simply how the car was designed, with no dampener or anti-rattle fitted at that point, and that "this car will clunk forever more." While their work did reportedly improve it, this is a genuinely honest admission worth knowing, since it means chasing a complete, permanent silence on this specific noise may not be realistic even after proper investigation and work.

A genuinely useful, harmless rattle worth ruling out first: a loud, "very agricultural" sounding rattle, particularly at idle, has been documented as commonly caused simply by the air filter intake pipe's retaining clip working loose or the pipe itself opening up slightly — genuinely harmless to the engine, and a very cheap fix (duct tape and cable ties as a temporary measure, or a new air filter box as the proper fix) rather than anything more serious. Worth checking this specific, simple cause before assuming a mount or engine-related fault given how loud and alarming this particular rattle can sound.

It's also worth knowing that a rattle traced specifically to the fuel pump area on the engine has been dismissed by at least one dealer as "normal," which several owners have found unconvincing — if you're facing a similar dismissal for a noise that genuinely concerns you, it's worth asking for a second opinion or a clearer explanation of why it's considered normal rather than simply accepting the assessment.

Dacia Duster Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the Duster use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.
