How long does engine mount can last after changing?

My cerato v1 changed mountings at 9 year, the rubber already start to disintegrate. I think reasonable time to 5-9 years depending on the quality of the rubber used.

Very much depends on the road condition and your driving pattern. In general 150K around there.

Hi all, need some advice for my 9 year old 2008 Toyota Altis before deciding if I should change my engine mounting.

 

Went to a workshop recently to service my car and was told that my engine mounting requires a change and was quoted $600 to do so.

 

Did a little research and so far what I have gathered is engine mounting requires a change when telltale signs of strong vibrations of the car while idling. There are vibrations while idling but it is not that obvious.

 

I am in a dilemma because I would most probably scrap the car come next year's October and was thinking if I should change it or not. But at the same time I do not want to spend unnecessary money if not needed.

 

Would appreciate if any gurus here can advise if I should proceed to change or not. TIA!

Why don't you seek a second option from another workshop.

If left 1 year no need to waste money. Just live with it or squirt some silicon into the crack!

Last year went to another workshop when I felt the vibration. Workshop only casually mentioned that could be due to engine mounting. But back then I asked if I should change it the guy told me not needed unless vibration becomes worse. This time round I went autobacs and was advised to change it. 

 

Anyway reason for me not going back to the same workshop cause the guy that I trust no longer works there and has already went back Malaysia.
