    Right can someone with parts disc psa wise get the pics of the engine mount up as I need to see how it is bolted together. I know there is 2 13mm nuts but the one bolt holding the round thing to the actually alloy mount for the engine need to see that one as I think the guy has bolted it up wrong possibly

    thats fine dude just a quick question tho you know the alloy mount sits in the cradle then the bits with the 2 rubber bits sit on top of that and then the orange thing sits on top that the bolt that holds it all together from the bottom the bolt is fed from the bottom of the alloy mount ain't it to the top and via the chassis is it?

    On standard mount the boom from the block bolts to the hydraulic mount with one bolt upwards from underneath and then two bolts hold it to the chassis mate

    Doing this from memory without looking - the picture actually makes it very unclear with the large mount (orange) being upside down in the picture.

    I think it goes, metal part with the 2 rubber bits on it, then the main metal mount that goes to the engine, then the large mount (orange top) goes on the top. A bolt runs from under the metal (2 rubber parts) through the main mount and screws into the bottom of the orange rubber mount? Sound right?

    now that bolt from underneath yeah on the gti ive just got the guy has bolt it so i goes

    under the chassis cradle up (so there is like a gap/void) then it goes metal bit with rubbers, main mount from engine then orange thing. So it is like bolted solidly to the chassis. From what I understand from what you have just said the bolt should go directly under the metal bit with rubbers, main mount and then orange bit

    It doesn't go through the chassis.

    The head of the bolt sits inbetween the chassis and the metal part with the two rubber buffers - going up through everything into the rubber/hydraulic main mount

    no dude the person who had car before instead of putting that bolt through the metal bit with rubbers, mount from engine and then orange thing. He went through the chassis, metal bit with rubbers, mount from engine and then orange thing so its solid bolted to the chassis

    Thats mad! If the rest of the mounts are standard I'd look to sort it out so that they were all working properly (not mounted solid) so the engine isn't trying to twist etc. when accelerating!

    Good to hear you fixed it though/got to the bottom of the problem with it !
