Hi All,

My car is MINI ONE CVT production month 05/2004

Thanks alot.

 

Yes - your passenger-side engine mount is leaking. As for the part number, it's not the one ending in 259, since that part number has been superseded. I don't know which of the other two is the correct part number, though.

 

woh mine looks nothing like that mine is just a piece of rubber....

 

They redesigned them in '05 to incorporate hydraulic mounts. Given all the failures, it's probably good you don't have them.

 

Oh no, to chg this, is it an easy job can be DIY-able? Will it be drive-able or dangerous or lead to other problem if I don't fix it ASAP?

Thanks

 

It's not going to cause any problems other than possibly some extra vibration if you let it go for a little while. Many owners don't even notice the leaking mounts until they've been leaking for hundreds or thousands of miles.

Replacement is pretty straightforward, although it would be a good idea to put a floor jack underneath the engine to support it while you're removing the passenger-side mount. Also, I've found that the #4 bolt in the diagram you linked to can be a pain to remove on some cars.

 

Cool, thnks all for the replies... now I just need to get the number 3 (from the realoem link in first post) only right?

- 22114046186
or
- 22116778610

Any one?

 

Just call your dealer with the 186 number, if that number supersedes they will see the new number, more than likely the 610 number.
You can also just tell them the year and model of your car and they can look it up for you.

 

What about buying some urthane mounts? I think promini has some

 

I just did this a few weeks ago. If I can do it anyone can! There have been several posts about this in the past. Check this link https://www.northamericanmotoring.co....php?p=1767829

and make sure you have the E12 socket. I found that the extensions and swivel adapter really helped with that bolt. Have fun!
