I used the noddy method (Hot water)

Not my info, shameless cut n paste. HOW IT WORKS: Electronic-Hydraulic Engine Mounts electronically controlled mount is typical of high-tech mounts used in a variety of cars to dampen the last little bit of shake produced by the powertrain. It’s a hydraulic engine mount with two fluid chambers...

Both of my old mounts had sensors/valves the new ones fitted didn't, I just hacksawed them off the sides of the old mounts, plugged them back in and ty-wrapped them back on to the harness to stop them dangling. No fault codes yet.

I used a rubber b5 snub.

That's what I meant.

They're not hard to do on a two post with a transmission jack to lift the engine out the way. All the mounts I fitted to the v6 are 1.9tdi mounts.

I changed all my mounts at once so mine is as tight as a tight thing now, anything is better that the mounts I had. The bottoms had disintegrated and the whole engine was just sliding about.

Yeah, I was going to give it a week to settle then readjust. The vibration is only very slight so I think I've struck well first time.

Check out the What I did to my b6 today thread, I've just done all the engine mounts on my 2.5tdi QS avant at 150000 and there is nowt left of the bottoms of the mounts.

Mines got slight vibration at idle but I'll live with it. I've got a solid front mount on the corrado so I'm kind of used to it.

The sump is really easy to do, drop the arb down and remove all the bolts, done. No debris at all, the strainer was spotless as was the rest of the bottom end, no pics tho as my phone died. Just a precaution really. These engines are known to block the breather and there a pain to do (like...

I've just fitted an OE rubber one, tyre soap n a vice.

Fitted a few mounts, engine, snub, gearbox n rear diff mount(powerflex, no pics). And a sump and gasket. And made a temporary crankcase breather. I knew the engine mounts needed doing but I was shocked at how bad they were. B5 snub mount is a doddle with a new top bolt and fits nice n...

Giving the Quattro a work out over the pit.

Thanks.
