OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — engine mount (aftermarket) Delphi TEM085 / Hutchinson 594585

Accuracy note: Covers the Ford B-Max (2012-2017) 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)	Delphi TEM085, Tedgum TED03610 (manual)
Engine Mount — Right front (aftermarket)	Tedgum TED20173, Original Imperium 610566
Engine Mount — Front (aftermarket)	NK 59725032, Hutchinson 594585
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.

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: automatic and manual gearbox variants of the B-Max sometimes use different transmission-side mounts, since the two gearbox types differ in weight and mounting points — confirm your transmission type as well as engine code before ordering.

The Passenger-Side Hydraulic Mount Is a Well-Documented Weak Point

Across several Ford models sharing similar engine mount architecture to the Focus, the passenger-side mount is consistently the first and most common to fail. Unlike the simpler solid rubber mounts elsewhere on the car, this one is fluid-filled to provide better vibration damping — but that design means the internal rubber can tear and let hydraulic fluid leak out, at which point the mount collapses. Once it does, engine vibration transmits directly into the cabin: a strong shake through the steering wheel and pedals (particularly noticeable stopped in Drive), dashboard rattles, and a distinct clunk when accelerating, braking, or shifting between Drive and Reverse.

A genuine, checkable visual test: the passenger-side mount is easy to inspect directly — when healthy, there's a clear, visible gap between the rubber portion and the metal bracket beneath it. On a failed mount, the rubber has collapsed enough to be touching or nearly touching the bracket, sometimes with visible dark hydraulic fluid staining. Worth checking before paying for a diagnosis.

Worth knowing before buying a replacement: independent mechanics and owners consistently report that budget aftermarket brands can actually cause more vibration than the worn-out original mount, and frequently fail again within months rather than years. Paying the premium for a genuine Motorcraft (Ford's own parts brand) or a well-reviewed mid-tier hydraulic mount is generally worth it given how often owners report doing the job twice after trying to save money the first time.

Ford B-Max 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 B-Max 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.
