Ive noticed a huge difference in the 16V rear mount VW want mad money for it and Ive seen them in GSF for 27.50.

 

Does anyone have the ETKA diagram of this mount?

as said before, only get a genuine VW or FEBI replacement for the rear mount, the GSF one I tried was too hard and on the 16v makes the car rattle and shake at idle.

 

from memory on my 16v you needed to get the drivers wishbone at a particualr angle to unbolt one of the two bolts from underneath as you put an extension bar through a hole in it.

the bolts from above are easy, but you need a long extension bar (or two) and a wobble bit on the end to make life easy.
