Engine Mount

[Chris Williams]

Has anyone else had a new engine mount fitted? I have just had a new fitted after 16,500 miles.

There's a lot of threads on here about Engine mounts, never had one fitted myself, but my car is less than a year old still.

As is mine, just 9 months old.

This is exactly the same mileage as mine. I think everybody who has a Cooper S approaching 17k should check their engine mounts for leaks!!

...funny you should ask this mate - mine is in as we speak getting replaced at 15K miles MCS...

[BENJ]

Mine is now booked in to be replaced on Tuesday under warranty as it is apparently safe to drive (but will leaving nice small puddles of oil as I go though)

[bobbyraven]

..and as usual, I would have preferred some details from my dealer as to why this would have happened etc..

I had mine replaced today. Mine is on 65 000kms and 4 years old

I had the right engine mount replaced on my previous MINI (Mini One, 10th months old, 18000miles)

mine was replaced on my cooper at 16 months old, 15,000 miles

My right engine mount was replaced under warranty on Tuesday - only took them about 25minutes to do it.

How does it show you have to have your engine mount(s) replaced?
Some jerking when accel/decel ?

[ScaryLady]

mine made a sort of "knocking" noise when coming off the accelerator at low speeds, at the right hand side of the car.

[Lawrothegreat]

When my mount went I had a knocking sound when placing my foot on or off the accelerator, but also a series of knocking sounds when starting the engine.

The way I knew mine had gone was there was oil underneathing the mounting and a puddle in the engine bay above the wheel arch. There were also small patches of oil on the driveway near the front drivers side wheel.
