r/s , timing belt side engine mount placement/ postioning
« on: December 18, 2012, 06:50:25 am »
I looked and searched and could not find a different answer to how to postion the new rubber engine mount in the bracket. Found a vortex site that said put the  "Y" up , then ended with the "Y" down. Does someone have a pic or thread they can send me to. Putting a 1.6 td in my caddy soon and this is part of that process.  Thanks.

Also, bear in mind that the injection pump bracket parts are what determine timing belt tracking and once removed from the engine can often take a considerable amount of time to replace so the timing belt tracks properly.

I had no timing belt tracking problems after replacing the engine mount bracket. Didn't know it's a potential problem when I did it.
