    Question List of things to do for my Roadworthy

    Hi guys.

    Im driving around in a AUTO 12v 2.8 VR6 a the moment. I have future plans to make it a manual if i ever get around to it lol.

    I also have a complete MK3 MANUAL GL GOLF collecting dust.

    I don't have the best of knowledge regarding parts or cars at all and i was hoping you guys could help me out

    The place im geting the RWC want 1700 bucks for parts and labour LOL I am hoping to get the cost down as close to zero if possible.

    So in order to pass my RWC in VIC I need the following things done fixed.

    LHR ENGINE MOUNT
    REAR STRUTS AND SPRINGS
    RH STEERING RACK END
    RHR WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY

    So these are my 4 questions to everyone.

    1/ Will this engine mount be correct for my car?

    Volkswagon Jetta VR6 V6 2 8L Manual 3 94 10 98 Engine Mount Rear LH Side | eBay

    2/ Has anyone replaced the rear mounts by undoing the bolts and jacking up the gearbox?

    3/ In Regards to the RH steering rack end will I be able to grab this off the other car and install it? I assume that the steering rack ENDS in the GL is exactly the same in the VR6

    4/ And of course, can the REAR wheel bearing assembly come off the GL golf, since they are interchangeable?

    Thanks in advance.

    3/ In Regards to the RH steering rack end will I be able to grab this off the other car and install it? I assume that the steering rack in the GL is exactly the same in the VR6 Rack is the same(Edit)Tie rods are different due to wide track suspension. Tie rod ends are the same.

    4/ And of course, can the REAR wheel bearing assembly come off the GL golf, since they are interchangeable? Yes but the bearings are quite cheap so you might as well buy brand new.

    Thanks in advance.
