Thar she blows...



My options now are what? Bring it back to the dealer for a warranty fix? If I install an engine damper after the mount is fixed will it help the problem in the future? I've been thinking about the damper for performance purposes but if it will help the life of the new motor mount I'll definately pick it up.

By the way, the car is an '06 S with about 13,500 on it. I noticed a little noise the other day at idle (kind of like a drum cadance but muffled). Checked when I got home that night and didn't see much as it was dark and I was in a rush.

Checked today for mushrooming on the strut towers (have a bit of that too, GO NY roads!) and saw what you see in the pic.

 

It hasppens a lot, the 05/06 Mounts are S**t. The dealer will fix it no problem. I've seen one worse than that on a 06 that had 2000 milies on it.

 

mine went during brake it
so around 900

 

you mean break-in there Jimbo?

 

yeah thats what i ment

 

When did it become appropiate to dis someone for spelling errors?

 

I'm surprised the mounts broke on an 06....

 

when he knows i would do the same to him
it's all in good fun

 

i know of at least 3 people in my area that have had a mount go south

 

The dealer should fix it under warranty. It is indeed a crappy design.

Might I humbly suggest one of my engine dampers to cure thyself of this problem going forward.
