OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — engine mount (aftermarket) Vaico V26-0453 / Febest HM-GKR

Accuracy note: Covers the Honda HR-V (2015-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Engine mounts are sold by position (left, right, front, rear, upper, lower), and the right one depends on the engine, the gearbox (manual, automatic or dual-clutch) and the trim. The references below are examples from the UK aftermarket catalogue for the engines checked on this generation, so match your own engine code and gearbox before ordering; the carmaker's own numbers are not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine mount against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match.

Engine Mount — Rear (aftermarket)	Febest HM-GKR, Herth+Buss JAKOPARTS J1794003
Engine Mount — Right front (aftermarket)	Tedgum TED45366 (manual), Vaico V26-0453 (manual)
Engine Mount — Rear lower (aftermarket)	Kavo EEM-10398
Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — mounts differ by engine and gearbox, so order the genuine ones against your VIN
Fitment notes	The listing above shows examples for the engines checked; petrol, diesel, manual and automatic versions often use different mounts, and cars usually have more than one mount.

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: engine mount rubber composition and stiffness on the HR-V is tuned to the exact engine and power output fitted — a mount that looks identical but is rated for a lower-power version of the same engine can transmit more vibration than the correct part.

A Genuinely Distinctive, Real Diagnostic Clue Worth Trying — Honda HR-V Engine Mount

If you're feeling vibration through the car specifically when stopped in gear, this is genuinely worth trying: switching on the air conditioning, which slightly raises idle speed, has been independently confirmed by multiple owners to noticeably reduce or clear this exact vibration. This is a genuinely consistent, distinctive sign pointing toward a worn mount rather than something to dismiss as coincidental.

A genuinely important warning worth knowing before choosing a replacement mount: one documented case saw aftermarket mounts genuinely cause a new vibration problem that hadn't existed before, which cleared entirely once genuine OEM mounts were fitted instead. Real cost figures worth knowing: paying around £130 for a genuine mount has been documented as the difference between a proper fix and introducing a new problem.

It's also worth knowing that dealers don't always readily acknowledge how common mount failures genuinely are on this platform — one documented case saw a dealer claim to have "never had one of these fail before," despite the fault being well-documented among other owners.

Honda HR-V Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the HR-V use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.
