Hi, having replaced the offside engine mount about 12k miles ago I am surprised to find that the replacement has now began to show signs of failure in the same way, the rubber is intact but has squashed to such an extent that the metal parts are making contact transmitting vibration.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why these have failed in such quick succession? My thoughts are that this has happened since the engine was re-mapped and it may be due to excessive exhaust gas temperatures (the mount sits beneath the primary cat). Does this sound a realistic cause or have I just been unlucky in the quality of parts? (Febi on both occasions)
The car is a ML270.
Cheers,
Martyn
