JBOB 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Im changing the knackered gearbox mount on my '90 valver. Ive used the search and found that people are using the Mk2 Golf diesel mount but there doesnt seem to be any part numbers or years mentions so I just want to check :wink: Is this the right one to buy from GSF tomorrow 31146 GEARBOX MOUNTING-REAR G2 1.6 Turbo Diesel 8/83 >10/91 Cheers J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incidentally, I bought a new gearbox mount for mine, but I couldn't see anything wrong with the old one when I got it out (120,000 miles) David.

bcstudent 0 Posted April 28, 2006 When I went to GSF a couple of months ago they didn't list a gearbox mount for the Corrado so I took the Mk2 Golf one instead as it looked the same. It fitted but lasted 150 miles. I guess it wasn't up to the job. You're better off going for a genuine one or a quality after-market part like Vibra-Technics.

corradophil 3 Posted April 28, 2006 I've got both gearbox and front mounts from GSF, they've been on for a couple of years and are fine, plus I'm running a little more power than standard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted April 28, 2006 I think the quality of GSF parts was higher a couple of years ago. A lot of the stuff I've had more recently has been utter cack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted April 28, 2006 The mount I bought from GSF (recommended by darren from G-Werks 1 month ago) is the Golf MK2 TDI one, although I have the VR6. Mines fine and it's stronger than the standard one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted April 29, 2006 You mean the Mk2 GTD? I don't think the Mk2 ever got a direct injection diesel engine. Maybe it's an isolated incident and I just got a mount from a dodgy batch. The rear mount was also pants though and is causing serious vibration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
