Just a quickie. Im a newbie to this forum, normally on e38. Anyhow can someone please tell me or bettre show me how you tell the difference between a vr6 subframe and others that are fitted to rados?

Welcome aboard!

 

Cant help though sorry, unless you can find out where the part number is stamped and check that. vagcat.com for your part numbers. :)

Im sure the VR has a round cup for the engine mount and the valver and g60 have a V shaped mount?

Ive got the part number and cleaned a subframe that ive got but couldnt find a part no stamped anywhere. Id does however have 2 round mounts.

From Vagcat:

 

535199315D - G60, 8v and 16v engine subframe,

535199315E - VR6 subframe.

 

And yes from the pics on Vagcat, the VR subframe has 2 of those cylindrical mounts with a kind of rounded diamond face on the top, where the other subframes have the V shaped mount for the rear engine mount point.

 

hth,
