Parts for your 2019 Honda Civic-Engine mount

2019 Honda Civic engine mounts — purpose, care, and when to replace

An engine-mount is absolutely relevant and fitted to the 2019 Honda Civic. Technical sources including the Honda Civic (10th‑gen, 2016–2021) Service Manual and Honda’s OEM parts catalogue show multiple mounts in this model: a right‑hand (timing‑side) engine mount, a left‑hand transmission mount, plus front and rear torque mounts. Many variants, particularly turbo models, use a hydraulic fluid‑filled mount on the right‑hand side to tame vibration.

On the 2019 Civic, the engine mounts secure the powertrain to the body and isolate noise, vibration and harshness so the cabin stays calm. They also control how the engine rocks under throttle and when shifting, which helps driveline longevity and keeps things feeling tight. With age, rubber or hydraulic internals can crack, leak or soften, leading to extra vibration, a thump on take‑off, or movement under the bonnet when changing gears.

Mounts aren’t a scheduled “replace at X km” item, but they do benefit from periodic inspection as part of regular servicing. Most workshops in Australia and New Zealand will check for collapsed rubber, fluid seepage on hydraulic mounts, loose fasteners, and excessive engine rock during a controlled powerbrake test. A quick look every 40,000–60,000 kilometres, or whenever there’s a vibration complaint, is a smart move.

• Typical signs a mount needs attention:
  • More vibration felt at idle, in Drive with the brake on, or with the A/C running
  • Clunk/thud on take‑off, gear changes, or when lifting off
  • Visible sagging, torn rubber, or oily residue on a hydraulic mount
• Helpful care tips:
  • Avoid harsh clutch dumps or repeated hard launches, they stress the torque mounts
  • Fix misfires and rough idle promptly, excess shake shortens mount life
  • Use quality OEM‑equivalent mounts, cheap copies often transmit more NVH
• Replacement guidance:
  • Support the engine/transaxle correctly before loosening brackets
  • Install loosely, settle the engine at normal ride height, then torque to spec from the service manual
  • After replacement, recheck idle NVH and road‑test for clunks on tip‑in/tip‑out

Whether it’s the 2.0‑litre or 1.5‑litre turbo, keeping the Civic’s engine mounts in good nick preserves that smooth, quiet feel Honda owners expect.

Popular questions

How many engine mounts are in a 2019 Honda Civic?
Most 2019 Civics have four: a right‑hand engine mount, a left‑hand transmission mount, plus front and rear torque mounts. Exact design can vary slightly by engine and trim, but the layout is consistent across the 10th‑gen range.

What are the common symptoms of a bad engine mount on a 2019 Civic?
Increased vibration at idle (especially in Drive), a thump when taking off or shifting, and visible fluid seepage from a hydraulic mount are common. You might also notice the engine rocking more than usual when blipping the throttle.

What’s a typical replacement cost in Australia or New Zealand?
Ballpark, quality mounts are often $150–$400 each, with 1.0–2.5 hours labour per mount depending on location. That puts many single‑mount jobs in the $350–$900 range AUD/NZD. Actual pricing varies by engine, brand of mount, and workshop rates.
