    Hello, any guides about 106 engine/gearbox mounts ? I like to know ALL engine/gearbox mounts needed for the 106 gti with picture of each mount if possible.
    the reason for this is because i have changed engine mounts 2 times by now and few months later it gets ruined, so I am thinking there must be a mount that is bad and I have never changed it so it is causing other mounts to break fast.

    Thks

    There is 3 in total. One by timing belt cover. One under battery. And one at the back by the gearbox/bulkhead.

    Clearly something else is wrong. Engine mounts should not wear out in 2 months. Do you do wheelspinz and drag race your m8z?

    Look at getting uprated/solid mounts. they'll last a million times longer.

    What could be wrong ? What do I need to check ? I changed all mounts and it was good for 2-3 days now i am hearing clunk noise when I off the throttle.... :/

    No wheelspinz or drag racing at all, high speed highways and traffic only.

    Get ye car up and have a look at where the rear gearbo mount connects to the car. Mine had torn apart from the actual floor of the car and was putting a lot o play in the engine. Had to get it welded up. Try that.
