am I right in the amount I need though? 2 rear 1 front and 1 gearbox? I feel like a reatrd for not knowing this lol

I think it is 1 front and 1 rear plus the gearbox.

doh i meant they're for cars without cable box  :embarassed:

car with cable shift 02a box the engine sits slightly differently in the bay, so front and rear brackets slightly different shape. being a mk3 they have different front and rear engine mounts so you must use SEAT/MK3 abf or tdi ones. cant use vr6 engine mounts as engine totally different shape. actually i think some b4 passat brackets may work, iirc they use mk3 style engine mounts on the higher spec models?

gearbox mount bracket can be had off most cars with 02a, so any b3/4 passat or corrado, or mk3/seat abf, tdi, vr6.

edit: part numbers
1H0 199 354 H - rear engine bracket, manual gearbox, ABF/1Z - 37.34+VAT
1H0 199 273 B - front engine bracket, manual gearbox, ABF/1Z - 43.82+VAT
357 199 353 A - gearbox bracket, manual gearbox, AAA/ABF/1Z - 23.86+VAT
