Honda HR-V Engine Mount: OEM Part Number

Main engine mount	OEM part, specific to engine — confirm via VIN
Transmission mount & rear torque strut	Genuinely separate part numbers to the main engine mount — sold individually, and worth inspecting together if chasing a vibration or clunk

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: engine mount rubber composition and stiffness on the HR-V is tuned to the exact engine and power output fitted — a mount that looks identical but is rated for a lower-power version of the same engine can transmit more vibration than the correct part.

A Genuinely Distinctive, Real Diagnostic Clue Worth Trying — Honda HR-V Engine Mount

If you're feeling vibration through the car specifically when stopped in gear, this is genuinely worth trying: switching on the air conditioning, which slightly raises idle speed, has been independently confirmed by multiple owners to noticeably reduce or clear this exact vibration. This is a genuinely consistent, distinctive sign pointing toward a worn mount rather than something to dismiss as coincidental.

A genuinely important warning worth knowing before choosing a replacement mount: one documented case saw aftermarket mounts genuinely cause a new vibration problem that hadn't existed before, which cleared entirely once genuine OEM mounts were fitted instead. Real cost figures worth knowing: paying around £130 for a genuine mount has been documented as the difference between a proper fix and introducing a new problem.

It's also worth knowing that dealers don't always readily acknowledge how common mount failures genuinely are on this platform — one documented case saw a dealer claim to have "never had one of these fail before," despite the fault being well-documented among other owners.

Honda HR-V Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the HR-V use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.
