Did you mean this crack/slit that goes all the way around? It is only on the surface. Where is the crack clean in half? I didn't know it was that bad. 😭
It is the same mount. I thought the crack was superficial and the whole piece appeared intact. Let me try to stab it with a knife...
The CX-3 is front-heavy, the tire pressure is 36/33 front/rear. I am gentle on the pedals. I downshift to climb hills but that's not hard acceleration? Best 0-40...
What oil filter are you using? It might be worthwhile to cut open the filter to see if there are similar chunks in there. I thought particles of this size would have been caught by the filter. Can you to see if a standard magnet would pick up those chunks? If so, definitely use a magnetic drain...

If it weren't for you, we were gonna find out at what point the belt finally snaps and leaves me stranded, 190K or 200K... 😂 🙏
The transmission service was done last year. Shocks/struts and motor mounts were all replaced around the same time. I will ask the mobile mechanic to check on the VC...
