DBS Engine Mount Replacement -34 Hours?

[nickorette]

I have to get engine mounts replaced on DBS. Main dealer says it's a 34 hour proceedure, including removal of intake and exhaust manifolds. I had engine mounts done on my F430 last year and it was only 6 hours. I told main dealer this sounds excessive and to double check proceedure. Anyone have their mounts done on their aston before?

It is a big job, and the Ferrari is a different design and no guide. Speak to an indy if you can.

OP , just checked this one out and your quoted time is roughly double the time stated in the repair operation manual ( manufacturer ) . These times are warranty repair times , they are always a little challenging to achieve , so 20 odd hours should be the ball park IMHO .

Thank-you for insight! Any chance that manual is available online somewhere?

Nickorette , I suspect not I'm afraid , main dealers and specialists only , that have access to the AM DCS system .

If you wanted to DM me I would be happy to offer a firm quote for this work depending on your location .

I have the AM suite of documents for an early DB9, very similar to your DBS, workshop manuals etc.

PM your email address and i'll send you the docs.
