04 Cooper engine mount question (not failed).
My Cooper has the dreaded canister engine mount BUT it has not leaked yet. At 54K miles could the internals, whatever they may be, be worn and would I benefit from replacing it.
I recently replaced the lower engine mount (first with poly, then back to new OEM because of too much NVH) and installed an upper engine damper. The car still does not have the quiet shake free idle I want and there still is some driveline movement.
I am thinking of raising the idle speed to around 1K since it smoothes out at that point. I have a poly tranny mount coming, which will increase NVH but I understand it goes away after a while.
Any comments are appreciated. Basically I want no driveline movement and smooth engine idle.
