cliveyp 0 Posted December 1, 2003 Phoned round a few places a couple of weeks back. Think it was German, Swedish and French that quoted me about 9 quid each incl. VAT. 8) Presuming the C is not too far away from the MK2 Golf setup then it's quite an easy job. Pop open the bonnet and undo the top nut holding the cover down on the top of the turrets, whip the wheel off and jack the car up. You may be able to do this now without removing the struts, but i'm not sure how much room there is in the arch. Using compressors, compress the spring and undo the top mount nut. The top mount then lifts off, replace it with a new one and bang it all back together. The top mount nut is a pegged job so make sure you've got the right tool before taking it all off!

Riki 0 Posted December 6, 2003 I wouldnt recommend using non genuine mounts especially if your car is dropped already. They will be shagged in 6 months and you will have to do it again. Bite the bullet and get genuine vr6 top mounts. Very strong and still very comfortable. You will have to take the strut off the hub and if you do this you will need to get the camber reset. The other way to do it is take the complete upright off the vehicle. That is the strut and hub, disc assembly. The only thing is the bottom ball joints are tight to get off. It is worth the hassle if you dont want to upset the camber. Riki. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Edwards 0 Posted December 6, 2003 VR6 top mounts from VW cost less as they're common with the Mk3 Golf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 6, 2003 VR6 top mounts from VW cost less as they're common with the Mk3 Golf. And they can be used on all Corrados and MK2 Golfs. VR6 TMs are good for at least 70K. Even longer on less front heavy cars. You need to order the bush AND the bearing as they are seperate items. I can't remember if you need the VR top plate aswel though for non VR cars as it's been a few years since I fitted them to a Golf MK2. K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
