Phat VR6 3 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Surport engine/box with trolly jack Undo bolt that goes into mount (think its a 16mm). Undo 3 13mm bolts that hold braket onto gearbox. Undo 2 15mm bolts that hold mount onto subframe.Remove mount then replace with new. reasemble the way you removed ittakes around one / two hours I think the mounts about £50 from VW but get a uprated viber teckincs one while your there Link to post Share on other sites

kalv 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I uprated mine with a vibratechnics one.. did it myself.. had to really pull the engine forward to get it out (no trolly jack).. bit painful leaning over the engine and using a ratchet in that small space! Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 No trolly jack!!!! You beast lol. Which mount did you go for comp or street???? I went for comp, engine vibration increasted when decelerating but was sound when booting it. I wasn't exspecting it but the car felt more together and when round corner alot better when driving hard.Nice inprovement, well impressedP.S want porsche brakes Link to post Share on other sites
