offside engine mount part question
« 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

James
You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

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!
