- Front engine mount replacement Honda Accord - This covers replacement of the computer controlled Honda Accord front engine mount aka Honda front motor mount on the 7th generation accord (2003 - 2007) or the Acura TSX (2004 - 2005). It is the same procedure on certain K24A engines in the 2003 - 2006 element and the 2003 - 2008 Odyssey. This repair is needed when a worn motor mount or worn engine mounts are detected. Worn engine mounts or poor quality aftermarket front engine mount for these vehicles cause vibrations in the car. I make a note on OEM vs Aftermarket mounts. Doing this necessary to stop engine vibration resulting from worn mounts. This is for the inline 4 engine and the removal of the lower radiator hose is not required.

This video along with the one where you replaced rear mount is the best of all I've watched so far. And I believe the only one where that coolant hose wasn't removed, lol.
Thanks a lot!
Yea. No need to remove the coolant hose. Happy you found it useful.
Thanks for this video. I just did this maintenance last night as part of also replacing my starter. It definitely helps with the intake manifold out of the way. But even with the intake manifold removed, it was still very difficult to maneuver the mount out. So one tip I have is to just remove the radiator fan. It's very easy to remove them. You'll have to disconnect the top radiator hose to get it out of the way. I have no idea how you were able to take the mount out without removing the fan. Anyway... thanks again for the video.
You're welcome! Yea, removing the fan shroud helps. I certainly won't advise pulling the intake manifold for this.
Job well done
I’m gonna use this video when it’s time to change my mount aka when I have the moola to do the one center mount and the thermostat/housing all one jobber
This is the best video out of many I found on UA-cam pertaining to a motor mount swap for 2005 accord
Thanks my dude!
You're welcome
Thanks a lot for this video. I just replaced my mount today on my 2009 Accord and it was essentially the same process. Your video was extremely helpful and gave me the confidence to do the job myself. Thanks again!
One tip I will give for others is to clean underside of the mounting bolts with a wire brush and apply penetrating grease before removal, as the bottom of them will be very rusty, making them hard to remove otherwise.
Thanks a lot. Great tip you have on the bolts!
Nice brother. I used this video to do my mount. I did take out the front right fan to get more room.
Cheers!
Nice job! More room any day is essential!
@@DIYAutoworksNGhey brother do you know if the rear mount for a Honda accord will also work for an Acura TSX? Given the same gen of years,
They have diff part numbers but look identical?
Very good video. I appreciate the additional text you added in post processing.
Thanks, for your kind comment.
Thanks for your video, great camera work and a lot details. Appreciate the post.
Many thanks for the kind comments. Means a lot. Constantly working to improve the quality of the videos.
Very good instruction and video, thanks
Thanks
Nice video.
Could you do a side-by-side comparism of the new and old mounts?
Thanks.
Great suggestion. Interestingly, I still have the aftermarket and OEM mounts. Will definitely do that video
Just did this! Check out the new video ua-cam.com/video/e7LKqj9_NqU/v-deo.html
Great.
I got the notification.
Thanks
Thanks! Sorry for the mix up. Got it fixed.
The 2005 Acura TSX I have has have the clearance room from the engine to the radiator fans.... It's the same procedure but you have to pull the fans on the tsx for room I think?
Some have even pulled the fan for this Accord. I support whatever makes the work easier; which more room certainly does.
I had to watch this to make sure there's nothing extra u need to remove Becuase some street mechanics don't even know how to maneuver in a tight space I would do this myself but I don't have Jack stands plus my Jack isn't as strong as urs it's like one of those mini jacks that only holds up to 2 ton also how long did it take u to do just the front ? I'm trying to get both the front and the rear done same time the rear has some wear and tear but recently the front one some how got a crack now
Can't exactly remember how long it took, plus I was filming which makes it take longer than necessary.
Yea, Jack stands you can trust are a must for this job, since you'll have to raise the vehicle and also support the oil pan.
@@DIYAutoworksNG so u wouldn't be able to do it without the Jack stands ? Kuz I have a friend of mines who's lowerd and he did t use Jack stands he just grabbed a peice of wood and put it on the Jack so it can support the oil pan
@brooklyn7941 Sorry I got my initial reply mixed up. Thought this was my video on doing the rear mount on the 2002 - 2007 Toyota corolla, on that vehicle you have to go underneath to loosen some bolts. For this car you can get all the bolts from the top, so yea, just a jack should suffice.
@@DIYAutoworksNG but a mini 2 ton Jack is good?
If its this same car, the curb weight should be less than 2 tons so should be fine. NB: this means you'd have to get the vacuum hose off from the top, not sure how easy it would be, but I won't recommend going under the car if it's only going to be held by a jack.
I'm stuck at the part where i have to jack the engine/transmission up.
I don't know exactly where to place the jack at. I don't want to bend / damage the oil pan
As long at you place a flat block of wood under the oil pan, you won't have an issue. Thickness of the block of wood should be about 1.5" at least and not soft.
@@DIYAutoworksNG dude i got all the bolts off of the mount housing. And i can wiggle it around, but can't seem to slip it off. i even moved that bracket to the right of it, too.
So i have to jack up the engine from the oil pan area until i can wiggle off the mount housing?
Yes
@@DIYAutoworksNG gotcha. i did it. thanks, bro 👍
Hi, Where was the placement of the jack when you lifted the engine? I am scared to damage the oil pan.
Use a block of wood on the oil pan. The broader the better. It won't damage it as long as the wood is flat and at least 1" of solid thickness.
Not sure where the vacuum hose was that you removed. Another UA-camr did it and never mentioned one.
If you go under the car so that you can see or feel the bottom of the mount, you'll get to the vacuum line.
Clear and straightforward, thank you sir!
You're welcome!
Oh man I replaced my mount with a part from autozone instead of a oem part I’m hate it later 🤦♂️😢
Well! Just see how it goes. If you don't feel vibrations more than the status quo, then it's probably good.
I have a p0171 code for the vaccum line for this motor mount after i got my other motor mount fix. Im not for sure
Inspect the vacuum hose that goes to the Mount and where it plugs into. It could have a nick.
I have all the symptoms of a vacuum leak for fuel trims, but couldn't find any leaks around the engine. I finally clamped off the motor mount vacuum hoses at the solenoid, and STFT dropped from 21 to 9. So it's possible that a leak in the hose, or a crack in the motor mount, could cause a vacuum leak that would in turn cause a lean condition. You could try the same thing I did - you only need a cheap $25 ODB2 scan tool.
Great troubleshooting right there👍🏼
Nice. Where did you get the mount and what does it cost?
Thanks! I got the mount from Apo parts market in Abuja for N14,000
Thank you!!!!🎉
You're welcome
thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Where is the hose that you disconnected from the bracket connected to?
It connects to a vacuum line dedicated to the front motor mount.
Great job
Many thanks!
I just finished the same repair. It is much easier if you remove the left fan, it is held by two 10 mm bolts.
Nice idea!! It should make more room for fishing the mount out. 👌🏼
how you can tell if is after market or OEM
Where you bought it from should tell. OEM from genuine dealerships/websites. This is for new ones. If you are used buying in person, you can do a close comparison with the old part.
What was wrong with the part??? Or how did you you know to change it out for an oem one???
Excessive vibration at idle and engine movement when shifting into gear. You may also have a jerk. If a mount is cracked or broken, once you inspect it you will know. On some mounts more subtle wear like separation of the rubber from the housing may be more difficult to identify for the untrained eye.
very best effort. I like
Thanks!
can you do a video on replacing the rear engine mount
This repair is one I plan to do! So expect a video.
Piyke DIYAutoWorksNG by any chance, do you know if the rear engine mount has a vacuum hose. like the front mount
The rear does not have a vacuum line to it
Piyke DIYAutoWorksNG Thanks !
I have done a video for the rear engine mount. See link below
ua-cam.com/video/VFOrB3mjS1c/v-deo.html
You sound like you are in Abuja. Can you do this repair for me?
Hello. Better to take this discussion offline. Shoot me an email here. piyke@diyautoworksng.com
Do I need to support the engine underneath?
Yes. You will need to support the engine with a block of wood under the oil pan and lift it to be able to free the mount. Prior to this, you will jack up and support the car itself to remove the vacuum line to the mount. After removing the vacuum line, I removed the support stands and then lifted the oil pan. Hope this helps.
Where is the hose that you disconnected from the bracket connected to?
Hello,
It connects to a vacuum line dedicated to the front motor mount
Can this fix engine shaking with ac on at idle?
Yes, but it can also be caused by a dirty IAC valve.
@@DIYAutoworksNG or a rear engine mount
Yep
too the point no bs assumes most watching are not
clueless idiots tells you tools required sizes and torque specs.
totally has is together on making short order of this job.
Got you. Thanks.
Hmm? I may try without taking off the radiator hose.
👍🏼 Absolutely no need to remove it in my opinion.
Someone mentioned that if you need more room, you could remove the fan motors.
Nothing like working backwards.
Yep.
3 small bolts pull each fan out and saves about 10 minutes of goofing around.
Yep. That's one way to it. More room makes it easier.
Removal of the radiator and hose would have been easier.
Thanks, I generally prefer to do it this way since removing the radiator + hose + draining the coolant would be more work and take longer. It does make taking out the mount easier, but longer.
hey boss
Yes boss.
