My second hand eheim 2260 was a bit noisy and rattly , so a new shaft and impeller sorted out some of the rattles , but still not quiet , i stripped down the pump plate and found that one of the rubber shock/vibration mounts had sheared it base, i searched all of the ehiem parts catalog and could not find them but came across a website selling computer water cooling equipment and they did a vibration kit which looked the same as fitted too the 2260 , i ordered them and when they arrived i found that they are a direct replacement , removed the old hard and broken ones and replaced with the nice new soft ones , i can hardly hear the pump at all , in fact i think my eheim 2080 is louder

Glad to help guys , the new vibration mounts have made a hell of a difference , the old ones had turned to a stiff rubber and the new ones are very soft
