Good luck and make sure you jack up the gearbox to take the weight when taking off mount.

Post by: t0pgunner on 21 May 2011, 13:20: £70 for the GB mount thats crazy :shocked: and i think the bolt is shot as the lump is lifting up and the oil is leaking out of the mount

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 21 May 2011, 16:02: it's about average price for aftermarket parts id say. Genuine VW mounts would be nearer to twice that price.
