Title: offside engine mount part question
Post by: javalin on 14 June 2011, 18:00

All,

Looks like the offside engine mount is a bit buggered - engine rocking at that end.  Gearbox and front mount already changed.

Any particular tips on changing it - easy or hard job?

Car is a 1998 (March!) 8v AGG GTI.

Is this the correct part?

Thanks

It's certainly the fiddliest of the three to replace,  especially if the bolts are super tight as the access is pretty damn poor.  Prepare yourself for scuffed knuckles and cursing a plenty!
