Golf engine mounts

[Tatboy83]

Bought a golf mk2 1.3 just put a 2l mk3 gti lump in but engine mounts are no good any good upgrades any of u know of please

Yes, I like vwheritage.com they have a good selection of uprated mounts for different years of vehicle.
Very expensive for an engine mount but a nice upgrade.
Think there are some cheaper ones on demontweeks.com though.

Just fit new standard mounts, ones intended for GTI models should be fine.

The uprated stuff e.g. vibratechnics at ~£££ per mount is a lot of money & something I would reserve only for turbo equipped engines with a shed load of torque, not a 2L 8V.

. So the rear gti one will fit ok then as it looks a lot better then the 1.3

Yes the item suitable for say a 16v will replace the 1.3 / Driver item.

You have to remove the cradle that the round mount sits in & the new mount goes where the cradle went.

Am a bit lost /thick lol have u any pics??

Replace items in yellow, with the item circled in blue

You will have to undo the bolts circled in red.

So rubber mount 191199262A & 357199471 'mounting' (yellow on diagram)

are replaced with 535199262

You can see this mount in the back of this picture (with the alloy piece on top)


(the other mounts shown in the photo are the options for the front mount)

Wicked thanks so can I do the same upgrade the other two mounts to gti 16v ones

[Metallix]

Yeah go for it.

[KRdubber]

Yeah if you enjoy replacing engine mounts go for it hehe
I would always recommend uprated, trust me until you feel the difference of uprated you wont wanna go back.
