RE: Motor Mounts Cont.

Haven't done it myself (I think that would bump me out of SCCA stock
classes), though I'd like to. I believe most of the responses have been that
it take a couple of tools and about 15-30 minutes to do.

see

for a good discussion on them.


I didn't think I could lift a wheel with the stock GA's, but when I got the
pictures back I saw I actually had.

Subject: Motor Mounts Cont.


There has been a lot of chatter on VWVortex forums
about changing the front motor mounts on A3's and the
"defective" mounts on the A4 GTI's of late. 

I was wondering if changing to Turn2 mounts is
something that a shadetree mechanic (myself) could do 
without a lift or do I need to jack the car up to get
at these to install them properly? People say it's
easy, but how easy is easy? If I were to make the
change myself I unfortunately have to do the work in a
parking lot near my apt. bldg which stinks.

Thanks for any info.

BTW Tim killer pics of the GLX lifting a wheel!! :)
