Altis 05 Auto Engine Mounting kaput...

[Kodokers]

Your frens's car already 5 yr & 7 yr old still bother to change mounting? Changing mounting not a cheap parts replacement lo. Unless the owner really plan to drive very long or till 10 year, then changing mounting after 5 yr mark is worth it.

 

Changing of mounting, the mechanic really lift up the engine?

 

yeah both intending to keep on driving their cars for 10yrs......

You don't really need to lift the whole engine, just put a jack under the engine to support it

Eg. if you changing the engine mount ( driver side) then just support the oil sump area

same for gearbox mount, you need to support the gearbox

You need to jack the engine up and down to unscrew and remove the mount,

using the long guide bolt as a guide how far you can go.

How u know which mech is really more experienced?

 

And when u leave, ty cud also just pass the work to the newbie to train on yr car.

 

Having been to the same WS for EO change for a few time, u can observe who is the more experience mechanic. Eg. The one always giving instruction to other mechanics, asking him technical question about your car.

 

Normally, I would also be there the whole time during the servicing to make sure my fav mechanic is the one working on my car for major works.

 

[Jorje]

Sorry I really forgot how much is it. I remembered labour cost itself is 1/2 or more cheaper than doing in Singapore WS. Anyway different car have diffrent price cos number of mounting is different and the effort to replace different model of car varies. If you really interested can always call them to give u a quote. Their no is 07-3446276.

 

Manage to dig out the receipt for the 3 x engine mounting replacement for my VIOS on 3 Jan 2011. Price for labor is RM169.60 including GST.

engine mounting effects auto vehicles more than manual,why i oso dunno,recently 2 of my frens changed their engine mountings,a 5 yr old hyundai matrix and a 7 yrs old nissan cefiro.

matrix guy noticed whenever he stops at a traffic light there will be vibrations from his car,he could feel the vibration and after 30 secs it will stop,went on for abt a month and when he was replacing his air con compressor in JB the mechanic highlighted that his mounting was gone. bought the mounting at the hyundai stockist ard $200+ and paid the JB wkshop to fix for him. no vibrations liao

cefiro guy noticed sounds whenever he accelerates ard 2nd gear to 3rd gear,brought it to mechanic diagnosed as mounting wear,changed and sound gone.

 

Hi bro, can you help me to find out how much your friend change his compressor in JB?

Which ws? My car still vibrate at junction when the compressor kick in...

will flush the compressor oil and see whether vibration stop first...else have to fix the compressor again...

thanks a lot.
