iv just registered witht hat vagcat thing so i await confirmation.

i have my recites from all the bits on my car, but they are not here with me. but ill get some part numbers for sure. will also take the ones off the black 16v car thats currently in bits - the subframe is in the mk2 with the old mounts in place still. I'm ordering all new ones tomo so i can check the old with the new etc

i don't know what you mean about the hydro mount ?    hydro bits don't go nowhere near any of the engine mounts.. ?

According to ETKA the drivers rear mount is a hydro mount on the 1Z engine, which i believe is a diesel.
Hydro mounts are fluid filled and absorb more vibration, the standard mount is a bonded rubber bush.
Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong  :smiley:

Standard VR front mount is hydro, you can get a solid replacment but it makes the car very harsh.

We sure they aren't the same and some have just been updated and the 16V one was just the updated one?

Very strange. That mount should be right for an ABF.

Just to confirm, the front engine mount on my 8v and the VR donor I bought were exactly the same part numbers  :cool:
