So great to see a professional quality video that explains the subject simply AND doesn't have annoying music playing in the background!

[@tjw8t1]

I had a friend at a Infiniti dealer nearby that had a nice older i30 that he got from a customer super cheap because the mount failed and leaked all over the motor and backfed power, that ended up shorting out the ECU. I was a Nissan tech for 2 years. I even went to some Nissan schooling and we never went over this or even brought it up. Thanks for the lesson!

[@AlexHernandez-ly6jp]

Oh yea that’s

[@safdaralli2567]

That was awesome AND thorough..I never thought I'd find a video explaining the workings of that particular engine mount..thank you so much for all the hard work and energy expended to educate someone like myself and others who are interested in how stuff works..thank you sir..already changed the passenger side (upper mount) 2007 Murano ..the other three will be worked on in about two weeks..actually we removed the transmission mount and when we tried installing the new one we bought from Autozone the holes did not line up with the mounting stud bolts on the chassis..ended up popping the old one back in...will be doing it all over again in two weeks..

[@alecsithong]

amazing....thanks so much for doing this. Very detailed and explains what the sensor does - dampens it to stiff or not with the idle speed. great work!

[@GG-si7fw]

Your video is the best description of a hydraulic motor mount. Thanks for your time to explain this. I take it Nismo does not make harder mounts for the Quest.

[@dial2fast]

+Gary G Thank you for the comment!

[@weekendwarriorscave2.0week46]

Thank you for your video, I just bought a 2013 Nissan Quest. We had to sell a 2015 Quest due to hail damage, and I noticed the 2013 is a little louder when in idle. I was worried that the engine might had something wrong. I just checked the engine mounts and they are bad, will be replacing soon, thank you 🙏 for posting this video

[@yoshiko130]

the price of luxury at idle and performance(not race car performance) from nissan. Very informative! The VQ Nation guys believed it was pixie dust in there and the sensor plug was just a gimmick for the SL models

[@Unixgreybeard]

This is fucking awesome. I just had this re-connected at the service station and we all had no idea what it did. Thanks for doing this video!

[@scottfirman]

I saw your video but had no idea there was a variable stability system in it. Thats pretty wild.

[@HILLBILLYHOTZONE]

Very cool to know how that works! Thanks!

[@ChadFreeman757]

Lol “the chazzy” gotta love it. I always wondered wtf the sensor on the mount was.

[@shawnvanderdoes9823]

This was very informative, My 06 Honda Odyssey has a similar mount . I was wondering what happen on the inside of the mount.

[@marty1160]

Hello, Thanks for this video I was real curious as how and why they used this system.

[@antval1234]

Good vid.. now I know why my quest has so much motor vibration, my mount is bad

[@angiestinger2798]

Thanks for the informative video, to the point and easily understood. I have one of these hanging in the engine bay of my 2006 Nissan Maxima sl. I have searched online for any picture that matched, just so I would know what it was n where it goes. My car has MIL n runs rough, so I wondered if this has any part in this situation.

[@biwwdabeah]

Excellent show and tell of the functionality.

[@dial2fast]

+biwwdabeah Thank you for the comment!

[@jewllake]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@Abu5ed_VQ]

good job my VQ friend

[@TheChuyDewy]

Wow its abused vq

[@user-vr5ng5vt7x]

I replaced the motor mounts with a set I bought online. I noticed the electric module was loose and the wire was routed through the mount which didn't allow the connector to plug in, so I removed it. Upon removal the new module and mount did not have any interconnection like the one you are dissecting. There is no blade that rotates and the motor mount is solid metal where you show a slot. Are the new mounts that come with a wire connector simply dummies?

[@Braavoo__]

I always wonder why it had a sensor. Thanks

[@harlemmarine1234]

Great video...i wanted know about mine

[@HughJassKoda]

Great video! This system is an absolute joke! Does Nissan really think this really changes the stiffness of the mount? All it is doing is splashing a little fluid around when it rotates. Think about the weight of the engine sitting on the mount. That low powered motor that rotates that valve is no where near powerful enough to lift the weight of the engine. This system is nothing but a money grab for Nissan. This mount costed me $265 when I needed to replace mine.

[@keving52002]

Good video, I have 2009 nissan murano and I noticed a vacuum tub coming from it going to a solenoid on the intake, can you explain how those work?

[@samuelgreene9742]

Did well. Thanks

[@5speedMax]

Good job young man

[@davel4954]

Just a warning before installing motor mounts and sensors take the sensors off two screws... I purchased several motor mounts from different sellers that had hollowed out sensors and no slot on motor mount if it was not for the fact the wire for my rear sensor was shorter on the replacement I would have installed a non electric motor mount on my vehicle!

[@bighomieJ5X]

Xlnt vid , I like how you explained everything

[@johnn6861]

I just bought one off rockauto with out electric connect for $15 better then auto zone for $129

[@thinkkops853]

John N how did it work?

[@EPHONIC]

Thanks for the video. My rear electric engine mount on my 2000 Maxima SE was making the cranking noise that occurred when you attached the 12V to the blue and yellow. This happened to me while the vehicle was completely OFF. Yes, no key in the ignition and the car in park. A local shop disconnected the wiring to the mount. I am going to monitor performance now. Just didn't want my battery dying due to the mount continuing to pull power from the battery when the car was off. Do you think performance will be noticeably different?

[@slooob23]

Keep it disconnected and disconnect the other one as well, these mounts short out and fry the car computer on the A33 maxima due to Nissan not circuit protecting the ecm from the failed mount.

[@drummerdem50]

Excellent Work Dial,

[@eusebioturrubiartes5487]

Excellent information

[@haroldholman551]

The wires caught fire right at the module on my 2000 Maxima. I don't know why and I'm wondering if I replace the module will it burn again.

[@denos.2688]

Thank u very much for the video

[@wayne69peters]

Awesome job!

[@geeegeee]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

[@tonycervantes4816]

Okay sr if my car have a electronic .controlled engine mount. And is bad I need to remplace of same mount electronic or not ??

[@nononsenseBennett]

Excellent explanation!

[@dial2fast]

Thanks for your comment!

[@GermanAuto111]

Thanks a lot man

[@giusemancuso]

thank you fo explanation

[@DJ-gh4dg]

Thanks for the info! Nice vid!

[@justinsmith5480]

Badass man, Thankyou!

[@MrSambra22]

Still don't make sense how the stefness will change by just open and close valve . How it actually happens . It has to get some fluid pressure .

[@7thsight032]

Awesome video. You do great work! Thanks a million. Would you consider doing a video on changing the Rear Mount. Also, looks like the Rears on these are "manual" but I bought electronic. You think it matters? Thanks again.

[@dial2fast]

I checked the rear mount on my van and it actually looks good. Seems the make wear on these mounts is the front and passenger side. I did look into the steps in changing the rear mount and it's a total pain is you are trying to do it with jack stands. Think you have to cut off one of the bolt to remove the old one. If you bought passive mounts, they will work fine.

[@7thsight032]

Thanks a billion for the super quick response. I honestly didn't anticipate it. I finally changed out my rear and tranny mounts. They were a BUSTED MESS! interesting enough, by mere eyeball inspection, they looked alright...but the drive always told me different. So you might wanna take a even closer look at yours but I gotta tell ya...them things are a booger to take out. Took us 3 days. Maybe it's just us :).....oh also, I just went on ahead and put in the electronic rear mount and left the cord dangling. Couldnt find anywhere to plug it. Thanks again

[@ChristinaJacklyn]

Hey can I put one on without that deal in the middle are do I need to use one with the new mounts I got don't have anything in the middle

[@dial2fast]

Yes you can put one in without the electronic mount.

[@expotourlasvegas]

Nice info

[@davidgough5644]

I'm about to have my mount replaced next weekend. Because this part is "electric", I'm wondering if it's the reason the "service engine soon" light came on. i'll find out after the job is done. thanks for this video.

[@wendywalter3705]

Mounts are not monitored by ECM, you have a second issue.

[@zayday6777]

Electric motor mount so yes

[@Slowwvqs]

I have a 2005 Altima SE-R (VQ35DE) and it has electronic engine mounts.. and I need to replace them. Do they make a difference from traditional engine mounts??

[@dial2fast]

I know for the Nissan Quest, some people replaced it with a non electric mount and there was no check engine light. I am not sure if a traditional mount will have that much more engine vibration or is very little difference.

[@sblagg527]

Very interesting and informative video! I have to replace the front mount in my 02 Maxima GLE, and am trying to decide on the fluid filled (electronic) vs standard mount. Standard mount is cheaper of course, and there are cheaper electronic OEM alternatives as well. BUT I did find the genuine Nissan OEM mount for $100 shipped, so i am considering going with that. My question is, if this is an older OEM part that's been sitting on the shelf for awhile (perhaps years) would the fluid (or the housing) even still be any good?

[@fixpro256]

Did you cut open the rubber part to see where the valve was going? I am curious if there was an air chamber or just a fluid filled cavity that the valve was cutting off access to.

[@dial2fast]

+fixpro256 Unfortunately, the engine mount I showed, it has already failed for quite a few years. By the time I pulled that center part out, there was nothing left inside. From the research I have done, the NIssan mount is filled with a fluid when new. Also spoke to someone at Nissan dealer service dept and he said it's fluid filled.

[@danielortiz2114]

Nice video

[@ETPAK]

Is there anyway to cheat computer by installing non electronic mounts? Great video. Or i can take electronis motor from mount and zip tie on the harness and leave it there and install non electronic mounts?

[@4dscdriver]

You can use non electronic mounts. You'll just have a little vibration and NVH when your foot is on the brakes and your in D.

[@bigbosscaos3923]

Replaced my brand new and it was good for a while bit now its rough. Can I disable the sensor?

[@Smashdoesit]

So can I not get one with the sensor ?

[@xizsv.702]

You have 4 engine mount one on the passenger side one on the rear and one on the front WHERE IS THE 4th ONE??

[@bertingiko]

thank you for this problem, is there any code for this kind of problem. I bought the one without wire can I install it?

[@dial2fast]

+Roberto Santarin I don't believe you will get any code for it.

[@thinkkops853]

I have a 2005 nissan quest, it need another motor mount but its electric like yours, is it fine if i just switch it with a normal one that had no wire on it, will this affect the car?

[@dial2fast]

I have heard people replaced it with the non electric version and it was fine, but I have not tried it myself.

[@5226624n]

Do you think if I install another one with no wire mount my check engine light would come up? Or what would happen? Thanks for a good video

[@dial2fast]

+Fidel Meza From things i have read on the internet, it should not trigger a check engine light, but i am not 100% sure. You will just have some vibration at idle. Ride quality might not be as smooth.

[@marshastvil]

Fidel Meza I was wondering the same thing

[@samuelsh1000]

i bougth one like this but without the electric control engine mount can I use my old one and put it on the new one ?

[@dial2fast]

You can't put the old damper in the new one that is not equipped with it.

[@Evrydyryder]

86k views and 1.1k likes. Ridiculous. How long does it take to push a thumb. Free riders.

[@JAYREEZE1]

What would happen if I put in the same engine mount without the sensor would a check engine light come on

[@dial2fast]

No

[@usmcmarine2131]

Do you actually need the electric motor mount or can you just replace it with a standard solid motor mount

[@dial2fast]

I know there are many people replace with the non electronic one and said it works fine.

[@usmcmarine2131]

dial2fast thanks

[@estherperez5365]

Where is it located in the engine ?

[@trentonduke4309]

Can this cause the motor to shut off and lose fire causing it not to fire again

[@dial2fast]

No

[@trentonduke4309]

Do you know anything absolutely Nissan Maxima won’t crank after it warms up

[@5226624n]

Thank for your quit answer , maybe im gonna try with no wire .

[@Evrydyryder]

Awesome video. However, this is definitely overengineering.

[@tedharris3939]

could it short out the ECM?

[@dial2fast]

Most likely not. The ECM is designed quite robust.

[@tedharris3939]

dial2fast reason is because in my Nissan there is no relay switch to shut off power after the car is shut off.

[@wendywalter3705]

I'm a Nissan master tech and they do fail and destroy the ECM.

[@4dscdriver]

They do on the 00-01 Maxima

[@garagemitsu2090]

Para que sirve

[@servicioelectromecanicocue7025]

Cool

[@samuelsh1000]

ok thanks dial2fast

[@jasonlee7215]

Please stop calling it a CHAZZY

[@OnlyHuman2.0]

Who cares

[@williamguzman4068]

Nissan no sabe que usar algo pequeño para controlar algo grande nunca es buena idea, termina fallando o rompiendose, hay otras maneras de hacerlo pero no se como permiten esa ingenieria pobre

[@jalapenovibes]

Bolt to the chazzy. Lol.

[@nitrous07me]

What a bad design,That's just as bad as a vaccume operated motor mount on some caddy's & gmc's

[@wendywalter3705]

Nissan uses vacuum ones as well in later model vehicles (cheaper)

[@madbull9988]

how much does it cost? lol

[@dial2fast]

+madbull9988 OEM is about $150. Aftermarket is about $60. These electronic mounts have been around for a long time and used by many other car manufacturers.

[@12vgs8606]

+dial2fast are the after market also electronic?

[@dial2fast]

+12vgs8606 Yes they do sell aftermarket ones that are electroinic.

[@sotos2428]

I think this cars are a piece of ***** I didn’t feel any difference after 😂😂 piece crap

[@DS-ss7vl]

What a bunch of crap.
