I suggested that if the bottom engine mount was similar to new, then only do the inserts; however, if not comparable to new then replace it with the CS race mount.
Just got a call from the service guys - the bottom engine mount has developed a small crack so they replaced it with the CS race mount. Also the top engine mount (oil filled) has developed a small crack but not leaking. Ive asked them to replace it with a genuine Mazda oil filled mount.
Going aftermarket with all mounts just worries me about the amount of vibes and noise. I know its been discussed here, but personally I don't think the oil filled mount (top engine mount) needs to be aftermarket.
All items done incl. above mentioned:
- New engine oil (Mazda Premium)
- New transmission oil (Castrol Syntrans 75-85)
- New spark plugs (Supplied NGK plugs)
- Full decarb (throttle body, EGR, fuel injectors)
- Machine engine flush
- Transmission mount inserts (CS inserts)
- Bottom engine mount (CS Race mount)
- Top engine mount (Mazda genuine)
I cant wait to drive the car. Unfortunately can only pickup on Thursday this week
They supplied the CS engine mount?, where was it done at.
