2014 Honda CR‑V engine mounts: purpose, replacement and maintenance

The 2014 Honda CR‑V absolutely uses engine mounts. Honda’s 2012–2014 CR‑V Service Manual (RM series) and the Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue for 2014 CR‑V (RM1/RM4) list multiple mounts in the engine mounting system: a right‑hand (engine side) upper mount, a left‑hand (transmission) mount, plus front and rear torque mounts. Many petrol and diesel variants use hydraulic, fluid‑filled insulators to tame vibration. These mounts fix the powertrain in place while isolating harshness, and are central to how refined the CR‑V feels around town and on the motorway.

On this model, the mounts do three big jobs. First, they soak up vibration so the cabin stays calm at idle and under load. Second, they keep the engine and transmission aligned, which protects driveshafts, exhaust flex joints and cooling hoses. Third, they control torque reaction, so there’s less rocking under throttle and smoother gear changes. If a mount collapses or leaks, the driver will feel more idle rumble, may hear a thud on take‑off, and could notice the engine sitting lower on one side under the bonnet.

Honda doesn’t specify a time‑based replacement interval for mounts, but inspection during regular servicing is smart—especially by 100,000–160,000 km, or sooner if the vehicle tows, sees rough roads, or spends a lot of time idling. Signs a 2014 CR‑V may need mounts include:

• Noticeable vibration at idle in Drive, which eases in Neutral
• Clunks or a shudder when shifting or on take‑off/overrun
• Excessive engine movement when blipping the throttle
• Visible cracking, sagging rubber, or fluid seepage from a hydraulic mount

When replacing, support the engine safely, follow the service manual torque specs, and tighten the through‑bolts with the engine at its normal settled height. It’s good practice to renew any self‑locking nuts and hardware specified by Honda. If one mount has failed due to age, the opposite or the front/rear torque mount may be tired too—replacing them as a set can restore refinement and prevent repeat visits. Quality matters here: genuine or reputable aftermarket hydraulic mounts will keep NVH low, solid or “race” mounts aren’t ideal for daily use. After fitment, owners should expect a smoother idle, cleaner take‑offs, and less buzz through the cabin.

How many engine mounts does the 2014 CR‑V have?

Most 2014 CR‑V variants run four mounts: right‑hand upper (engine side), left‑hand (transmission side), plus front and rear torque mounts. Exact part numbers can vary with engine and drivetrain, but the layout is broadly the same across petrol and diesel models.

What are common symptoms of a failing mount on a 2014 CR‑V?

Expect more vibration at idle in Drive, a thud on take‑off or when shifting, and visible engine movement under the bonnet. Hydraulic mounts may also show oily residue if the internal fluid leaks.

How much does replacement usually cost in Australia or New Zealand?

Ballpark, a single mount supplied and fitted can range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand AUD/NZD depending on which mount, brand (genuine vs aftermarket), and labour time. Replacing multiple mounts together is often better value and delivers a bigger improvement in refinement.
