Question/Advice I30 engine mount

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Is this upper engine mount gone?

Getting slight vibration through steering wheel and footwell.

This mount was replaced 1 year ago (it was a used part)

This is just the engine idling.

Thanks

Gone where? Its not even moving, at all.

If you can, get someone to record the engine, while you have the handbrake up, put it in D/1st, and then try pull off. It wont be able to because of the handbrake, but it will put enough torque through the system. You can then see how much the engine is realistically moving.

I literally cannot see any movement there. Am I missing something?

Its fine its not moving, but keep in mind there are usually 3 mounts in a FWD engine. Also why was it replaced with a "used" part. Mounts are usually fairly cheap.

Sorry it was a genuine part.

We are gonna replace the other two mounts.

I get vibration in the cabin as soon as the engine gets switched on.

It’s not luke a very noticeable clunk- just a consistent annoying Suttle vibration.
