Toby 0 Posted March 14, 2003 I've heard this is the thing to do, is it ? Is it a straight swap - just the mount, or are other bits needed (Etka shows a bearing with the VR6 mount, but not the G60?) I know it will apparently lift the front end up by about 10 mm - that will be a good thing !! Cheers Toby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 14, 2003 VR6 Mounts consist of a rubber block and a seperate cartridge bearing. Interestingly VR6 mounts don't suffer from failed bearings like MK2 Golfs do but deformed rubber! It doesn't lift the car 10mm as I fitted VR6 mounts to my Golf Mk2. They are the same height as the standard mounts. I'll get you the part numbers when I get home. Do it, they last forever. Kev 94 VR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g60pops 0 Posted March 25, 2003 Kev, are these the only bits that are required? And would i be able to use any of the existing top mount parts like the top plate and securing nut? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60ING 0 Posted March 25, 2003 you will need the VR6 top plate at least that is what I expeianced Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 25, 2003 Yeah sorry, you need the VR6 top plate aswell (forgot they're going on a G60) as G60ING pointed out. I don't have the part number for that I'm afraid. Cheers Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
