Flo 0 Posted January 31, 2005 Ok, I know someones going to say , "just use the search", but i have and trawling through that is gonna take forever! Engine jumps up and down through gear changes, so with my expert analysis, have decided to order a VT front mount! Now, the 'bible' has told me what the three bolts are torqued to, but is there a specific way I should go about this? i.e which order shall i do the bolts up, where shall I put the jack to hold the engine up, what shall I wear as my fit neighbour might be watching? Also, acces from underneath looks very limited with the low front spoiler and god knows how i'm gonna use the torque wrench for the top bolt of the mount. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated, or even just a link to a previous thread! Also some brainless idiot swiped my car last week :mad: , 'luckily', if thats the right word, they only took the paint off the wing. Anyone know any muts nuts bodyshops in the SE.

CazzaVR 0 Posted January 31, 2005 Don't think you have to jack the engine up for the front mount. You'll need a good extension for the torque wrench! Whereabouts are you in the SE? Canterbury Car Colour and Jacksons (also in Canterbury) are good bodyshops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flo 0 Posted January 31, 2005 SE london really, but i dont mind travelling as long as they do a good job. Last time sent it to a VW garage, who shall remain nameless, and I had to send the car back 5 times before they got it right and they had the car for 5months overall. Never Ever again!

GIXXERUK 0 Posted February 3, 2005 doin mine soon , i've bought the bits , front and gearbox mount my only concern is getting something under the engine to jack it up, because its lowered Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dilated 0 Posted February 3, 2005 I found with my golf that i could fit the standard VW jack under the sill (just) and jack it up enough to get the trolley jack underneath. Might be worth trying on the C Gixxer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Dilated, cheers mate , i'll give it a go , failing that its jacking it up and lowering the engine carefully on to something to lift it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
