Hi all,
I'm running into some serious clearance issues with the rear engine mount and the vacuum diaphragm on my MKIV TDI swap into a MKII shell. I've cut away some of both the console and the mount to allow the turbo to fit and the vacuum diaphragm to clear the motor mount.
It's extremely tight and the mount would knock against the diaphragm, likely damaging it. Has anyone done this with a MKIII subframe and mounts with a MKIV TDI swap? I'd like to see pictures.
Unfortunately, the 1.8T swaps out there aren't of much help as they only have the exhaust manifold on the rear of the engine and just have to reroute the I/C piping to fix the problem. See below for my quandry.
Actually, if someone has a MKIII 4 cyl or VR6 rear mount picture from the top pointing down at the mount itself, that would be great. I know I'll have to cutaway some of it, but if the subframe mount is smaller, it may just do the trick.
