Do our diesel LC 200's have active engine supports? How do they work?

I've read that the lc200 has active engine mounts.do these apply to all engine types particularly the diesels. Does anybody know how they work?

Hmmm was hoping someone would have been well versed with this feature since the humming vibration through the steering wheel looks to be a common occurrence...

I guess I will be answering this question... Yes our rigs do have active engine mounts. They are vacuum controlled. There is a vacuum pump and a valves called the Vsv that turns on/off the vacuum. At slow engine and vehicle speed the vacuum is on allowing free passage of fluid through 2 chambers. At higher engine and vehicle speeds the vacuum is off resulting to a less free flow of the fluid hence a stiffer engine mount.

Rick-

Is this feature only on the VDJ's? I'm curious about diesel 200's in general and have heard that there are many positives but a few drawbacks as well. I have only read of what the Aussies say but have seen some Euro reviews of them as well.

What year is your VDJ and what are your impressions of it overall? Is it LHD or RHD? Have you had any major service issues with it or other complaints? What is your favorite thing about it and what do you like least?

Thanks, I look forward to hearing more...
