                Nah, that's what sucks! If i'd paid for it when i first contacted them i wouldve saved about $300
                I was spewing!
                I'm so frickin broke doin this rebuild
                I wish i was a smarty pants like peter or preeny and could do lots of it myself I read their rebuild threads and feel pretty humbled, as mine's more or less a "chequebook" resto.

                          Do you mean the mounts, the brackets or both?

                          They are the same on a cable change Passat I think. Do you have Etka, thats the place to check.

                          • Just the mounts. According to ETKA the passat, golf2, G60, later polo's etc all have the same rubber mounts????
                            I think i'll just get some firm aftermarkets. The way i drive and the power it'll have, those stock mounts dont stand a chance

                            • I'd go for a Golf Mk2 deisel gearbox mount mate, alot stiffer than the standard one according to Darren at www.g-werks.com
                              Have you had a qoute from VW over in Perth ? Maybe worth a go.

                                Don't waste your money on the Vibratechnics engine mounts - I bought one for my Ibiza ages ago and promptly sold it to be replaced by a Turn2 kit... which did the same job for a fraction of the money.

                                That few hundred bucks can go towards better braking
                                Dude, where'd ya gitchya turn2 mounts?
