How many mounts does the 1.8 have ?
« on: 24 December 2012, 21:32 »
Not at the car right now and wondering how many mounts does it have on the 1.8 8v

I know obviously front (I've pucked it )
Gear box ( any good stiff mounts or pucks or genuine? )

And are there any more mounts ? I'm sure there's one more .

Only reason I ask it when I change gear I get a knock , does it when letting clutch up and getting power down . Recently changed the front mount , and I believe the box mount is full of oil/grease ? And seen it leaking if so .

Thanks guys and girls and merry crimbo

Front, Gearbox and rear next to the exhaust manifold.

And yes, the gearbox mount is oil filled. I would suggest replacing it if it is leaking.

Nice one for that , got home had a look found the rear mount hiding away , although no movement in engine back and forth so leaving that be for now . the box mount i can put my hand on it and pull up on the box and the box moves (play in the mount ) also can see some oil from it , so will get a new box mount when all the days off are over and mr postman wants to deliver again .

on the wheel bolt issue will check it just incase i did put tyres on it recently so best check them now or i will worry every time i drive it until i do  :rolleyes:
