Default Motor mount question
New to me 2004 Japan ROW with 993 motor mounts
New to me 2004 Japan ROW with 993 motor mounts
I'm wondering if anyone knows if these mounts are original from the factory. I would have thought they would begin with a 996 part number

Just pulled one that was on my '04 and the number is close to yours: 993 375 049 05. The last two digits are, I think, the revision of the part.

Beautiful car, congrats! Those are the original part number from when new. So they are either original or older replacements.

If want to upgrade to better engine mounts go 993 rs engine mounts or aftermarket which replicate said stiffness. Supposedly better shifting. Says increased internal noise but when I had my car was already abit viscerally noisy 👍😀. I love the cold start firing up the engine ie marbles in a can noise 🥰.
