AMF gearbox mount 8Z0199543A or equivalent

[Little Dog]

From german forum it does not seem like the new bushing can be pressed in

The two mounts comes from Norwegian dealership with 2,5 times price difference(!). Even the dealership was surprised...

This looks like the rubber bit. Chuffing expensive though and currently out of stock. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/tedgum/12209756

You need to change over your engine bracket to the fit the Polo Dogbone

New gearbox/engine mount (from Polo without the bracket), but look at this heavy vibrations(!). Anyone seen this before?

I only saw this on my engine before I changed the lower "dog bone" mount.But I too have the same gearbox/engine mount as yours,but my engine runs smooth once it starts to warm up

 

[Olerype]

Replaced two of the engine mounts; the dogbone was completely shot

The engine shaking continues:

TDI90: occassional wobles, shaking, vibrates at idle

My car is behaving strangely. It can drive just fine, but after a while it can start shaking when accelerating or going up a climb. Really strong and disturbing shaking. Normally just in 4 and 5th gear between 2 and 3 rpm. Disappears if going of the accelarator or de-engage clutch. The strange...

That could be a worn driveshaft

Or DMF on its way out. If an ATL.

Yes it can! Still driving the car as is

DMF replaced.

How old is the clutch friction plate? I have seen them with damaged springs in the plate and damaged fingers causing noise and vibrations at various speeds from stationary at idle and anywhere up to 4500 rpm.. Also rust on the output shaft can do strange things to clutches.

Yes

TDI75 owners; does your car also have the extra support bar between startmotor and gearbox mount, or is the support applicable for TDI90 only?

Yes, mine does. 2003 AMF. Cleaned Engine Bay yesterday, so have this picture handy...

I removed the bracket/support; been driving fine last 1-2 years for info.

From my initial check this mount appears to control front to back movement & support the heavy engine & clutch/gearbox side,
the only visible rubber buffers do appear to have a larger gap than I’d expect to the alloy casting ( does anyone have a new one to compare the measurement)?
I suspect that the static weight of the engine rests on a section that isn’t visible & it’s this that wears down , any photo’s out there?
Thanks
