Well,

If I happen to make a hole in the gearbox, I'll just stick some decorative film over it.

Okay, just kidding. A friend is lending me his engine mount, so I'm going to replace both engine mounts now. The engine (which I tested today) is tilting noticeably in both mounts, and the right engine mount also has cracks in the rubber. Since it's likely a hydrolager, a failure is only a matter of time.

As I see it, both bearings are not mounted within the VW assembly tolerance, which is likely why they are prone to wear.

I have reordered all the screws; according to the instructions, they should always be replaced when new parts are installed. They haven't been replaced yet, but I think it's a good idea to invest in safety.

I'll try to tackle it next week, and I'll let you know if that resolves the issue. Finally, the car needs to be drivable again as quickly as possible, and it should cost as little as possible .



"Understanding question: How do you properly align the motor according to the instructions?" I would have replaced each bearing individually, carefully adjusting it to the specified dimensions. I would start with the right bearing, as a clearance of 10...13mm needs to be set there. The left bearing, which is the gearbox bearing, is not dimensioned but only has the note "parallel alignment."



Greetings.

Engine mounts replaced, problem completely solved. The gear shifting is also smoother now.

Thank you for the feedback .

Ha, now I have it . Based on your experience, where can I buy this part at the lowest price (I don't have any discounts with anyone, as I have absolutely nothing to do with cars professionally...).

Did you replace one / several / all of them?

"I'm referring to the motor mount on the transmission side; the support is good, and the timing belt side is also okay, but the entire motor/transmission assembly has a lot of play, especially on the transmission side." I haven't dismantled anything yet, because I'm planning to do that only after the new storage unit arrives.

To be honest, I would use an OEM part in that case. And there's not much room for negotiation.
If it's coming from the free market (negotiable), I can unfortunately only recommend Boge/Sachs, Lemförderer, and TRW based on my experience.

You're right, "cheapest" is the wrong word; I should have written "most sensible" instead. "Cheap junk" from eBay isn't a suitable alternative, so I can just leave that part out.
