| Post subject: | Engine mounts/bushes |
Has anyone found a cost effective replacement for 944na engine mounts? i can get ones from the US for £60 but i have found so far that a lot of these parts are generic and you can buy new for other VW models at a fraction of the price and inside the UK, i was looking at early golf engine mounts, i htought that even if the fittings are different, they can be taken apart and the rubber bushes in the mount replaced. Anyone had a go at this or have any better ideas?

Not aware of any alternatives. Beware the cheapies as I've heard from more than one source that they don't last long & as they are a PITA to replace you don't want to be doing it too soon. |

I didn't think they were that expensive around £40 from design 911 and as it has been said they are awkward to fit so you don't want to be doing it too soon again. |

Not sure about OEM v Pattern just saw the cost on Design911 and thought I would mention it, mine were changed just before I got the car and still look fine, but I think you are probably right about the cost thing. Do I remember rightly about changing the mounts for ones fitted to a turbo as they are better designed or am I getting mixed up? |

Get the ECP ones, they are genuine ones with the part numbers buffed off and 1/3 of the price. You can meaure to see how knackered yours are, there are dimensions in the workshop manual, alasdair |

I found it okay, would be a bit cheaper, anythings better then my current ones, i think a few haribo egg sweets wedged in there would do a better job as it is now. |
