Hi all, I'm hoping for some help with my engine mounts,
I replaced the right hand side/drivers side hydro-mount on Sunday on my 2004 B6 1.9tdi (AVF) FWD.
It has solved the slack and clunking when changing gear (the old mount had basically no fluid left) but now I get significant engine vibrations transmitted through to the cabin, especially at idle.
I picked the new mount up from GSF, so it's not a genuine mount, but I'm not convinced that is the problem (they are just sacks of fluid after all). I think it's more likely I have done something wrong.
It seemed more difficult than it should have been to tighten the top nut, to the point where I thought I could be cross threading it. I checked and re-checked that I wasn't and put this down to the pre-applied thread-lock-gunk on the new mount. I'm not 100% though, as this was blind from underneath.
Taking a look at the online parts catalogues, I see that there should be a washer between the top of the mount and the underside of the engine bracket (#13 in the diagram):

I did not find one on my old mount when I took it off, and I didn't notice one drop down.
Can anyone confirm the presence of this washer, where it was when they changed their mounts, and a part number/dimensions?
Beyond that, any ideas?
I'm going to redo the job to double check everything anyway, but I wondered whether anyone could tell what is likely to have gone wrong.
