Mk3 Golf Tdi Engine Mounts - UPDATED with more Q's!!!

That sounds right in terms of where they are.

Before going any further it's worth checking the front mount, on acceleration it's pulled in tension, and can split, but look fine once the weights back on it. It's easy to get at and should be quick to check, if that's in tact then yeah, it sounds like the fluid one might be knackered.

My Passat (b3, so the same mount set-up) had split it's front mount, and it vibrated terribly on idle, and had a lot of unwanted cabin noise on the motorway. New mounts fixed it, and when removing the old ones the rear 2 looked fine and the front one fell in half! Admittedly the rear hydraulic one could have been knackered, but it's worth checking your front one before anything anyway, as it's the cheapest and easiest to replace.

Hello again Retro Riders. I would appreciate your help with my not-so retro ride if possible?

As per the above, my front engine mount needs replacing as my first port of call in my endeavours to stop the vibrations surging through my cabin, amongst other "becoming-annoying" traits.

HOWEVER no-one seems to be able to clarify this front mount. I've spoken to GSF, Euro and VW themselves, all with conflicting parts and massively varied prices!!

So, is this the front mount i need?:

I'm thinking it's the mount as per the top link?

Thanks in advance,
