How to diagnose a bad engine mount
Hello to all
I had 2 engine mounts replaced back in January 2014. Recently i started getting a vibration and click noise when i accelerate from a stop so very often.
I wanted to know if a bad engine mount can be diagnosed by the dealer without removing any major parts. I am going in tomorrow for a scheduled oil change and wanted to mention this to the service advisor.
Thanks.

Yes, they can diagnose with the car on a lift.

Aside from a visual inspection its a two man job... one in the car on the brake, in D, applying throttle.
One looking under the hood at the amount of engine lift.
Remember they are vacuum activated so the car off or in neutral wont work.
