Alright, I will tackle this first then. I didn’t realize just how much that mount actually stabilizes the engine!! Watching some videos and now I feel stupid for not even considering the fact that thing might have been the part to crap out lol. Thanks everyone

Trust me somethings broke, I can feel it vibrating uphills and my engine can be rocked back and forwards by hand. Thank you for this, its super helpful!!!!

Trust me if I was doing the whole timing I would have just ate the cost lol. Got this car when they had done the timing belt a year before and I don't see anything mentioned about the engine mount itself. Have no way to know if a new one (or what quality) got put in so was just going to eat the...

Hi all! Yet another post from me about motor mounts. I'm buying some febi mounts and after researching it seems like reusing the stretch bolts is not a good idea lol. The site I am getting the parts from (germanparts canada) sells the bolts needed for each mount, but the kit (per mount!!) costs...

Appreciate the insight!! I should have been a little more specific, it’s mostly on hill climbs and start that it gets to that point. The owners before me both seemed to take great care of the car so I believe I am on the stock clutch equipment. Frankly i wouldn’t be surprised if in the near...

Will check them out right now then. Sourcing quality parts in Canada for prices that won’t leave me homeless can be difficult…. thank you

Didn’t know this, for some reason I thought they were just bonded. I’ll have to call the stealership tomorrow and see what their prices are compared to what OEM stuff I can find online. Thank you!!

I’m staying far away from Polys as I’d much rather have a smoother ride. Just a guess but if I was cranking the car up to something like a stage 3 rune I’d want polys so the engine doesn’t get shaken engine syndrome…

Hi all, 2002 golf tdi here. My car is getting close to 310k kms and from what I can tell from the service records I got when I bought it, the motor mounts have never been changed. My car could be considered a vibrator at this point and the motor mounts may not be blown but I'd bet they aren't...

Big time appreciate the more technical breakdown of how it works. Clears up a good chunk of wondering how the actual roof works. Thank you for the instructions. Might try and tackle it today if the weather isn’t too nasty. Don’t know why this small issue is bugging me so bad but 1 time of...

Haven’t tried that specifically but I will tomorrow, not sure why I didn’t think to test that lol Yeah it moves fine by hand which is what confuses me a lot lol. Thought maybe something got dislodged but other than the fact it sucks the shade WAY back into the headliner it works good… Not...

Hi all Just trying to sort out my sunroof issues but have a few questions that I hope someone can tell me. Obviously when you fully open it, it will pull the sunroof shade back. If you close it, is it supposed to bring the sunroof shade all the way forward also? Also, has anyone had it where...

Currently 24c so that would mean 75f. Didn’t think the low side was supposed to get that high but I assume that once the compressor kicks in THAT is when the pressure is supposed to go into the 30 psi range correct? Ac work is new to me so this is all a learning experience!!

Hi all Have a 2002 ALH golf and I am trying to repair the AC. Blows no cold air at all. I don’t have manifold gauges but used the ones that come with the small recharge kits and I can see ~30 psi on the low side with compressor off and ~25 with it on. The clutch engages and disengages and both...

Yeah I can grab the R12a stuff but have seen quite a lot of discussion saying they don’t suggest mixing it with r134a. Just thought i’d save the headache of doing all that if I can just top it up and see if it leaks lol

You need to possess a special permit to buy it domestically alongside the fact it can only be sold to permit holders in large tanks. Sadly I’m quite a ways from the border :( I have family near it that crosses frequently hence why I am curious about bringing it over. Plan was for them to just...

Trying to figure out if you are allowed or not as information online is pretty scarce. I know you aren’t able to “sell” it up here but am trying to understand if you can bring it over the border and “possess” it just fine. Might end up trying to see if the CBSA has a hotline for these questions...

Might have to be the experiment because I am not feeling like battling those stupid bushings again. If it’s a problem may just grab some poly bushings

It’s the smaller of the two bushings on the control arm, the one that is a sort of tube shape. Just found a random one on rockauto that would be shipped from the same warehouse so I am not too sure the link… It was normal looking before it went in, shaped like all the other rubber ones. Just...

Hi all. Doing a whole front suspension and I am currently pressing in new front control arm bushings. I cannot get it to sit exactly symmetrical but am wondering if that is a big issue or not? I will attach pictures. If anyone has an idea on how to get it in better please let me know as I am...
