My civic was recently in a wreck and all 4 motor mounts broke. Changed 3 of the 4 in about an hour.
The fourth took me 3 hours! It has be quite some time since I cursed that much under a vehicle, but it tested my patience. I don't know why those little Japanese folks think the only people who work on their vehicles are gnomes. Further, why would anyone design a consumable part into a system such that it is almost impossible to remove?
Honda did the estimate for the insurance company. They tried telling me a bunch of sensors were bad and I had a slew of other parts that were damaged.
Needless to say, I took it home and found no codes related to their suggestions nor did I find any mechanical damage other than the motor mounts.
The kicker was my timing belt. Looks like it jumped a couple teeth in the wreck and was causing some serious power issues. Any dope can hook a Honda up to an EAU and see the correlation between cam sensor and crank sensor. Not these idiots!
I replaced the timing belt and buttoned her back up.
Bottom line, my civic runs like a champ and i fixed it for $300 not $3,000. Honda service techs = worthless, Honda design = annoying as hell
Rant over.
