Thank you for this
It’s a bit different on the vr6
What is the music track that is playing in this video? I really like it…
Mk3 Golf Cabrio owners: out cars have two additional motor mounts. They use bushings similar to the rear lower control arms. Before you can lift the motor you have to disconnect them as well.
One is on the transmission and connects sort of under the batter tray. The other is on the same site with the serptine belt, sorta under the intake arm.
Thanks for the video. Good music kept me cool and patient as well as great commentary and step by step information. Next the shift linkage!
When do you re-install the transmission bracket? and when do you re-install the 2 bolts on the rear engine mount? Video just shows them being taken off.
You guys have some nice stuff, but then you just have stupidly priced stuff. How can you Justify $120 for some rubber?
PSA – The FRONT LOWER MOTOR MOUNT is 41ft lbs. – straight from the bentley.
I, just two weeks ago, lost a lower front motor mount – already angry enough, i ordered a new one…installed it when it got here – to the recommended 18ft/lbs – with loctite this time – and still the bolt loosened from my drive to work and back, which is about 15-20m each way.
I've been searching high and low for an answer as to what could be the cause for this lower bolt to be loosening…other than 18ft/lbs not being very tight, and the obvious terrible bumps and whatever else, of my city's roads.
I asked BFI CHAT – any ideas what could be the cause of this? (stating ive followed installation instructions to the T, a second time) – to which they replied. "Hello.. Have you tried tightening more than 18ftlb" …i replied no, as 18 is the recommended torque via this video. I was then again told "Try tighening it more"
Referred to a bentley and go figure – 41ft lbs for the lower bolt.
Just so nobody else loses a lower mount and has to shell out unnecessary cash to replace it.
Very decent and clear. Thanks man!
onde arrumou essas borrachas dos coxins? mandou fazer?
What's that instrumental called it's legit!
is the process for the trans mount different on an auto, because the shift cable is fixed to the top of the bracket?
Why is it on your guys website for this product it looks oem but the mounts you guys use here look more newer and better?
you guys should do a video on the suspension bushing kit for these cars. It was kinda disappointing to open the box and realize they didn't come with instructions
