I ordered some top mounts a week or two ago from a local garage and I got ones that look like these:

They won't go on a Mk3 will they?

The clue is in the title, mk2 and will not fit a mk3.
This is mk3 ones: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Mk3-Golf-Passat-SEAT-Febi-Bilstein-Top-Mounts-x2-NEW_W0QQitemZ400023210024QQihZ027QQcategoryZ9889QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

vr6 ones and tougher than gti ones so yes will be vr6 specific, oh and these ones are the same febi ones but cheaper, good service too(was next day delivery for me)... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK3-GTI-VR6-CORRADO-SHOCK-TOP-MOUNT-KITS-C358_W0QQitemZ200291036259QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item200291036259&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

It's not that, I just kind of need them tomorrow, and it's too late to get any ordered and delivered. I'm gonna have to go around a couple of places tomorrow and hope by the off chance they have them in stock.
Any chance VW would have any?
-
If I'm being honest, it looks like I'm gonna have to grin and bare the top mounts being like this until Monday/Tuesday next week, because I don't think I'm gonna get hold of any tomorrow :(
Is it gonna be ok for me to do this? I can't not come to the meet without my car.
-
Mk2 one's will fit the mk3....and all the other links are std mk3 mounts. not the h/d vr6 one's (which is what you really want!)
-
Thing I don't get are those little silver disks on them, is that ok? I don't particularly want to put those ones on if in 2 days later I can get the VR6 ones on. Will my ones I got now be ok? Maybe need a tighten?
-
the silver discs...do you mean the bearings?? as you need them!

The one's in the first link I posted, that's almost identical to the ones I have, so I'll assume they are the bearings lol! If I were to have those ones put on, which way does the plate go? Face up or down?
-
them discs are different to mk3 parts..... bin them and use your mk3 one's (as long as the bearing isn't integral!) it could be worth using mk3 vents for simplicity

I'm a bit buggered really. I'll have shoot around Yeovil tomorrow and see if I can find anywhere selling top mounts, with any luck..I'll get some, then it's jacking the b!tch up and taking off the suspension :(
-
so what have you got on it at the moment then?? those mk2 ones?

No some standard Mk3 ones, GTI ones I believe.

then whats the problem with them???

GSF will sort you out, find your local one and pick em up, about 20 with vat iirc. U need vr6 ones as they can take the beating a lowered car will give much better than gti ones. Stay away from generic gti/gl/16v/vr6 ads on ebay. they all fit each other but any thing other than vr6 ones on a vr6 die quickly due to the weight of the engine. plus the quality of the ebay ones is v poor, unless are stated vag ones.
I wouldn't use the mk2 ones, its not worth the hassle.
-
Shady, order the ones in the link I posted, then wait for them to arrive not going to hurt for a day or 2.
Mk2 ones will not fit.

Im getting some new suspension soon and am gonna order some new top mounts. Is it worth getting rears as well?

No worries, I used std mk3 ones on mine from Vw around £14 the lot.
