Hi.
I need to replace the above on my Puma. Looking on EBAY, lots for sale but all for a 1.6 or 1.4, there are none listed for a 1.7. Looking at the parts catalogue there are indeed three different part numbers for this item for the three engine variants. Can anyone tell me does it really matter that the right part number part is used? will it be okay to fit any one of these?

Regards,
Richard.
 
Hi Richard,

I have replaced mine and got a FeBi unit advertised as for 1.4 version IIRC. They are not exactly the same, as images in my thread prove (https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?t=26486&start=175) but it bolted just fine and works as intended.

Hope that helps,

Sinisa
 
Hi.
Thanks for that. I can only assume it is something to do with the composition of the rubber in the mounting. I did find one for a 1600 st Fiesta so I think I will go for that.
Regards
Richard
 
This is the one I fit to my 1.7
