16v Gti and mk4 1.8t engine mounts
« 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
20vt conversion, sig pic coming soon!

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:
