DanVW 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Hi All, Just searched on the above but not found much info, I am looking to replace my front mount this weekend with a standard VAG one, as I did find pics of Joe and Riley's torn brackets caused by solid front mounts! :shock: Can anyone confirm that I can reach/remove the front mount by: removing the: rad cover, top rad hose, Boost hose from standard silencer, and rad fan (+ cowling)? It does look possible but I don’t want to get halfway through to discover that you need to take the bumper/slam Panel off of something equally silly! Am not expecting it to be easy (come on it NEVER is on the C!) but would like to be as prepared as possible so I need to order 2 mounting bolts and the front mount, anything think of anything else that should be changed? Or things that I will need to be aware of\careful of? Cheers Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted May 23, 2007 changed mine with just the rad fan cowling off...no need for rad hoses off make sure you have a trolley jack to support the engine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanVW 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Cheers Guys :-) Just wanted to double check that was the way to go! Bolts shouldnt be that bad as the mount was only replaced less than a year ago! Bloody cheap pattern parts, VAG all the way this time!! :( Cheers Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Speak to Darren at G-Werks - he does a much better uprated one than the standard one. I've been using it for quite sometime now and no issues. And if anyone in a G60 is going to have issues with engine mounts it's me!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Not sure about fitting them but i have a vibratecnic competition on mine with no probs and its not a solid mount. They do a road version thats not that much different to the original just slihtly uprated which could be another option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanVW 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Thanks all! Will probably leave it a few weeks then as I need to go see Darren some point soon for... Health check, Samco's, RSR Charger outlet, and possably a charger re-build (last done at Jabba :? ) Cheers Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
