Parts for your 2017 Nissan Pulsar-Engine mount

2017 Nissan Pulsar Engine Mounts

Engine mounts are absolutely fitted to the 2017 Nissan Pulsar. Technical references that confirm this include the Nissan workshop manual for the B17 Pulsar/Sylphy (2013–2017), which has a dedicated “Engine Mounting” procedure in the EM section, Nissan’s Electronic Parts Catalogue (FAST/EPC), which lists right-hand (engine-side) and left-hand (transmission-side) insulators plus front and rear torque mounts for the B17 platform, and mainstream parts catalogues used in Australia and New Zealand that list replacement mounts for the 1.8‑litre MR-series engine used in the Pulsar. On that basis, an engine mount is relevant and used on the 2017 Nissan Pulsar.

The engine mounts on a 2017 Pulsar do a simple but crucial job: they keep the engine and gearbox securely located while soaking up noise and vibration so the cabin stays calm. The Pulsar typically uses a combination of rubber and hydraulic mounts: side mounts support the weight, while front and rear torque mounts control fore-aft movement when the driver takes off, shifts, or gets on and off the throttle.

Over time, heat, oil mist, and stop‑start driving can fatigue the rubber or cause a hydraulic mount to seep. Common tell‑tales include a buzz through the steering wheel at idle (especially with the A/C on), a clunk when shifting from Drive to Reverse, shudder on take‑off, or visible cracking/collapse of a mount under the bonnet. If a hydraulic mount leaks fluid, that’s a red flag for replacement.

Good practice during regular servicing in Australia and New Zealand is to eyeball the mounts every 10,000–15,000 km: check for splits, perishing, or contact marks where the engine has been moving more than it should. A lever test (gently prying the powertrain while supported) helps spot excessive play. If one mount has failed at higher k’s, it’s wise to assess the rest as a set.

• Always support the engine from above or below (with a timber block) before unbolting a mount—never jack on the sump.
• Tighten new mounts at normal ride height and torque to spec from the Nissan workshop manual.
• Use quality OEM or reputable aftermarket mounts to keep NVH in check.

Expect around 1–2 hours labour per mount depending on location and tooling. After replacement, a brief road test under light and moderate throttle confirms the Pulsar is back to its smooth, rattle‑free self.

How many engine mounts does a 2017 Nissan Pulsar have?

Most 2017 Pulsar (B17) variants run four: a right‑hand engine mount, a left‑hand transmission mount, plus front and rear torque mounts. Minor variations can exist by engine and market, so checking by VIN in a parts catalogue is best.

What are the signs an engine mount is worn on a 2017 Pulsar?

Vibration at idle, a thunk when shifting between D and R, shudder on take‑off, visible cracking or collapse of the rubber, and fluid weeping from a hydraulic mount. Increased engine rock under the bonnet when blipping the throttle is another giveaway.

What does it cost to replace an engine mount in Australia or New Zealand?

As a ballpark, budget AUD/NZD $250–$600 per mount fitted, depending on brand and labour time. Genuine parts cost more, quality aftermarket can save a bit. Replacing a full set can land in the AUD/NZD $700–$1,400+ range.
