Wonder any bros able to advise.
I noticed that when I have my headlights on, the engine vibration is stronger. When headlights turned off, immediately can feel that the vibration is reduced. Is it something to do with the grounding cables? or battery ampere not enough.

Before you jump to grounding cables and battery go workshop check all your engine mountings condition for any major wears and tears.

Any idea how much it cost to have the engine mounting change? I noticed that of lately, the steering wheel vibrate quite abit. The front console and the glove compartment area will vibrate as well. Its only when I hold on to the steering wheel will the vibrationl reduce.

engine mounting usually cost $400plus at Harmony or other workshops. But I found one workshop charge only at $250.

Dirt Cheap : Squeeze silicone into engine mounts damaged/torn rubber. DIY + Time consuming. Cheap : Google / Call King Choon ask for cost, go to Lavender Esso to replace. Not Cheap : Call 1000 workshops to look for cheapest cost to replace the mountings. Very Expensive: C&C.

just did my engine mounts at Sin Ming Autocare for only $250. Original KIA parts , saw Jae Auto delivery van sending my 3 mountings to workshop. In KIA box. Mechanic is friendly and skillful, replaced 3 mounts in an hour. After replacement, car is damn smooth like new. Cannot feel that engine is running.
Before vibration, told him that vibration is very strong. He cleaned the throttle body. Told him when cold start there is squeaking sound, he tightened all the belts.
Paid only $250 for engine mounts.
