WTB: AAZ Rear Engine Mount Bracket

[vanbcguy]

A long time ago in a land far far away someone swapped a 1.6 into my Mk III.  After several years of dealing with engine mount related issues, I finally figured out they kept the rear engine mount bracket off the 1.6 and just drilled a hole in it to "fit".  Unfortunately it's waaaay too short so the engine isn't sitting right and it is going to rip apart the front mount in no short order.

Looking for the rear mount bracket for an AAZ, preferably one in Canada.  Would like to see a pic so I know it's the right part!

Thanks!

hey bud, the ABA (2.0L mk3 8v engine) should have used the same mount..

and it will be much easier to source..

I think they all, all sizes of engines use the same one. I have one from a 1.8 can(I went to a vnt so I had to replace it). I assume a 1.9D block will be very similarly sized to this 1.8 gasser it came from.  You can have it for only shipping cost if you want it.  MK III golf it came from.

yes, that should fit as well.. forgot the mk3 came with a 1.8 as well..

it HAS TO be a mk3 piece tho..

I have a couple mk3 engine mount brackets. I even have one already bead blasted! $20 plus shipping!

I have an AAZ rear mount i'm not using but i'm in California so it's definitely not worth it to you. I can, however, post a pic if you want for comparison -maybe even pull a part number from under all that grease

I have some I made for VNT usage. I will bump the thread.

Pretty sure I have an AAZ one on the back of my AAZ engine that I don't need. However like it was said, ABA or 1.8 mk3 engine likely is identical.

If you still need the mount how does 10 bucks plus shipping sound?

Hey everyone, rodpaslow has one coming my way.  Thanks!!  Next task will be the "fun" of swapping that out.  Hopefully before the weather changes...

its really not that hard.. i can do it from above.

just un bolt the mount from the isolator

lift the passenger side of the engine with a jack, about an inch

un bolt the existing mount, replace with new one..

be sure you have the right bolt to secure the new mount to the existing isolator..

It appears there is a stud there now... Looking at the VAGCAT diagrams it appears to be the same as the "double stud with hexagon drive" so hopefully I'll be ok.  That would SUCK if not.

Good to know.  Above would be much "friendlier" in my work area.

It is basically a bolt with a stud sticking out of the head. On Gassers it holds the bracket to secure the O2 sensor connectors.
