OEM Part Number: 9676771080

Genuinely important to know: engine mount rubber composition and stiffness on the 208 is tuned to the exact engine and power output fitted — a mount that looks identical but is rated for a lower-power version of the same engine can transmit more vibration than the correct part.

A Genuine, Real Case Worth Knowing: A Known Issue Without an Official Fix — Peugeot 208 Engine Mount

If you're chasing a knock over speed bumps that seems to come from the engine mount area but keeps returning after repairs, this is genuinely worth knowing about: a documented forum thread from a 208 owner describes their dealer confirming directly that Peugeot was internally aware of a widespread engine mount knocking issue and was "looking for a fix" — while the owner's own car continued knocking despite the top and bottom mounts already being greased under warranty. The owner had raised a formal complaint months earlier with no resolution by the time of posting, and speculated the issue could affect a meaningful proportion of 208s from that era. If you're experiencing a persistent, hard-to-fix mount knock, it's worth asking your dealer directly whether an updated part or revised fix now exists, since these things do sometimes get resolved with a later parts revision even if there wasn't one when the issue was first reported.

A genuinely useful, real fix worth knowing about in the meantime: one documented case saw a Peugeot master technician resolve a persistent mount knock using silicone grease applied to the top engine mount, after conventional part replacement alone hadn't fully fixed it — worth asking specifically about this if a straightforward mount swap doesn't resolve the noise completely.

Worth knowing as a genuinely useful diagnostic clue: a knock that's noticeably louder going downhill than uphill points more toward the front shocks or struts extending and contracting under changing load, rather than the engine mount itself — worth mentioning this specific pattern to a technician if it matches what you're experiencing, since it helps narrow down which component is genuinely at fault.

Peugeot 208 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 208 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.
