Engine mounts 1.6 - 1.8T
« on: 11 October 2012, 19:04 »
I've been searching on here and I just can't find the answer.
My 1.8t aum engine is going in to my 1.6 16V next week.
Will I need to change the engine mounts?

Cheers guys

Use the same mounts I believe BUT do yourself a favour and get some THS Performance mounts  :wink:

Make an incredible difference, if you want to drive your car, for the purpose you're building it, I strongly suggest them.
