Hi guys, I've got my 2l block sitting clean ready to put back together, and was wondering what engine mounts to use? My scirocco is a 1.6 1988 GT.
I was lead to believe that the existing mounts are fine and the engine just "drops in", is this the case?
I can't afford to be faffing about on my boss' ramp, he wants the car in and out asap as it's a freebie...

i put a 2E into mt 1.8 mk2 (carb'd scala) and as i remember it used all the rocco mounts, and it did drop straight in. exhaust was annoying as the engine is slightl taller, and the 4 branch i had bought wouldn't fit. toilet bowl manifold and downpipe fitted ok though - if slightly closed to the steering rack than i would have liked. always meant to wrap it, but never got round to it

you'll need to check 1.6 and 1.8 mounts are the same, but i'd imagine the would be. manufacturers are very lazy

Pretty sure they are the same for the 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0...
