It's time to replace the front rotors and the front engine mount.
I expect to spend the extra $ for the 20mm rotors at autohausz unless
someone
convinces me otherwise.
I've seen the mount range from 59.00 to 137.00 at vwpartscentral.com,
Not much sense in putting used parts (that are as old as mine).
The description talked of a hydraulic mount, is this the correct mount that
has a bracket to the
starter housing "ear", mine is broke off btw.
Lastly the ever popular discussion of strut/shock replacement and adding a
strut tower
stabilizer.
Has anyone toyed with this modification, possibly extending several
stabilizers backwards to the fire wall.
Note: this is a new car in the fleet, it's my first td and i really enjoy
the ride. pw steering and air.
I'm taking it easy, with the failing motor mount, as i can really feel the
engine move in first gear.
The car had/has some electrical problems from an earlier damage/repair. I
purchased it right
thinking if the problems where insurmountable (no pun) i could use the drive
train in a cabrio
swap i'm planning for later 05
As always "the list" helps make a little sense of it all.
