Title: 16v Gti and mk4 1.8t engine mounts
Post by: Dan_GTi8v on 11 November 2010, 23:18

Are these the same? If not would the mk4 ones fit into a mk3 bay for a 1.8t conversion?

Asking as I have an 8v and so will need to upgrade my mounts

Cheers

Yeah I guessed as much I'm just feeling lazy :P
What would be the best place to get some from? ecp be good enough or should I get genuine from the stealers?

I believe 8 and 16v are the same, vr and diesel are / should be strong mounts.

they will be a straight swap for 8v mounts right? Do I need all or just the front ones?

Worth replacing them all whilst the engine is out.  :smiley:
