Benbeaver 1 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have a 97 golf vr6. I recently had all my mounts replaced front, rear and gearbox just originals from GSF as I couldn't afford the vibra technics ones. When I look at car from the front my engine sits high at the back left sloping to the front right. I never noticed if it was like this before my mounts were replaced and needed some help as to whether this is right or indicates a problem with mounts or their fitting???When I had the mounts fitted I also had the steering rack and the clutch changed, and I fitted powerflex bushes to the wishbone. I had a number of bumps and creaks that these items were supposed to fix but they have become a knock/click when any poke is applied and a knock when the clutch is engaged or disengaged with differing revs. It's a project car that I have been repairing and speccing up so it's always had something knocking or bumping and I have been working through this list. Am I lucky enough that the mounts are incorrect in some way and this is causing the engine to not sit level and consequent noises??? Or is this something worse? The diff? I have put a pic of the engine from the front to show the lean? Can someone help please? Benbeaver 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ssaunders 199 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 This is mine (sorry it's dark!) I had my mounts changed recently and only issue was the front mount (gsf) part had too long a thread and wasn't bolted down properly on the front so felt like the engine was coming through the bulk head, this was missed by a supposed mechanic and wasn't noticed until I changed the front insert to a poly one.Hope this is of use.Steve Link to post Share on other sites

ssaunders 199 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hi Mate, German Ebay search for motolager. it was a street (60 shore?) PU insert. thats the only one i did, the side mount is OEM and the gearbox mount was changed to a solid G60 one (recommended on other site)http://www.ebay.de/itm/Motorlager-vorn-Polyurethan-PU-Lager-Golf-3-GT-GTI-8V-16V-VR6-schwarz-street-/321100697479?pt=Teile_ohne_Strassenzulassung&hash=item4ac317cf87http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=608enjoy.steve Link to post Share on other sites
