VR6 Motor mount question.

[XxBORAxX]

so my motor mount is out on my VR so i can litterally just push down on the motor with my hands and move it up and down like 4 inches. there is so much play so everytime i give it gas and or shift the block is hitting my axle making a god aweful sound so just wanted to see. I know what mount it is but when i did my swap i dont remember if i need to remove the motor in order to swap the mount. its the one on the left underneath the power steering pump...



^^^ this side.


your help would be greatly appreciated because its getting worse and worse.

Its a 1 hour job maybe to swap it out. Most of the hardwork is removing all the stuff on top of the mount.

you will we need a jack as well to support the engine and raise it as well as youll need the wiggle room to reomve the mount and replace it, its pretty easy to do thou

i did see that but that was a 2.0 so a little bit different. and yes i took out my vr6 and got another block along with another head and used everything off my old one. it was a fun and a good experience

[groundupjetta]

Yea they are all the same and the bolts are all on the same location
