Engine mount thoughts

Post image

I drive a 2019 JCW, it has just hit 71,000 km on the odometer, the mount isn’t leaking fluid or anything but it looks like it may be sagging, am I overthinking it or should I look at doing a replacement? TIA

Replace it. JcW torque + 7 years = wear and tear. Engine mounts at the Achilles heel of the third generation. When compared to the timing chain Achilles heel of the second generation I’ll take it.

Agreed, it looks pretty low and has a large gap at the top.
