How Often Should BMW Engine Mounts Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Engine mounts are generally replaced every 100,000 kilometers. The signs of damaged engine mount cushions are as follows: 1. Sign One: Damaged engine mount cushions can transmit engine vibrations to the car, making the steering wheel feel shaky, reducing driving comfort, and causing abnormal noises during driving. 2. Sign Two: The rubber cushions serve to secure the engine and buffer its vibrations during driving. If the engine shakes when starting the car cold and shifting into reverse, or if the engine shakes when driving over certain bumpy roads, it indicates that the rubber cushions need to be replaced. 3. Sign Three: Upon inspection of the removed rubber cushions, it will be found that the rubber has separated from the metal connections, losing its ability to buffer the engine's vibrations. Over time, this can cause the engine's bolts and components to loosen due to vibration, posing a driving hazard.
