Mounts

[static1800]

Pretty sure the mounts are shot in my car, got bad engine thudding when i back off like the engine is rocking.

What mount(s) commonly go? would it be best just to do a full replacement while i'm at it?

I've also noticed a bit of a knock and vibration somewhere in my front end, not sure if it due to the mounts or something else is up.

Also suggestions on type and where I can get them? locally would be good but not sure how plausible it is.

cheers,

i always broke the front mount on the car, so i went to a 16v mount a bit stonger, than i ended up brakeing the mount in half the connects to the motor. yes i did have a mk2 a while ago lots of fun.

Get a g60 transmission mount, they are solid rubber instead of the factory oil filled ones. Other than that i dont know much about mk2 mounts

G60 front mount is good but I have seen even them pull apart. You can make a heavy duty one with the aid of a MIG and a Hacksaw.

I used to make my own out of the big wide MK2 mounts. When you open one up, you find a big lump of rubber with holes. If you fill the holes up, I used some old bolts with the heads cut off. They were just the right diameter, about 6mm diameter.

Squeeze it back together and weld it up.

I'll see if I can find a picture.

Its probably the one behind the gearbox. The most common to go. I`d use a VR6 one as a replacement.
