Title: 86 Jetta Engine Mount Question
Post by: curt5446 on March 29, 2016, 05:49:28 am

When I take off from a start and then let off the accelerator to shift, I can feel the engine drop back into place. Assuming the engine is rocking back, the front mount in my car is gone.

Are these hydraulic mounts?

I guess the Jetta's did come with the hydro's. Yes, eventually, the sacks burst.
Prices range from around $20 to $30-something.

I have converted some of my rigs back to the front solids which I think came on many of the Golfs. Rock Auto still has a solid one offered for more money. BUT, the catch is you have to have the hardware to mount it.

You may also have fatigued the rears as well.

i have a couple of 86s both have these hydro mounts, prefer to swap out all 3 mounts, although its a project. may have gotten mine from autohausaz.
