Yes and you had better remove it as well no point putting an uncracked manifold on with only replacing 1 engine mount you are asking for trouble

Do the job properly

so ,,is it fixed ? supported, and looking good?

how much more work do you have to do on it? i started out with a w reg 2005t auto , dark blue on ur 8x15 ronals, man i loved that car,,,,, my dad rolled it

always thought it needed a manual box, and still wondered if it would take a quattro drive system [pie in the sky till i find another]
best of luck with the project

Indeed...do the job properly, I will replace both mounts!

It's not very difficult to replace a mount, especially as I have the head off etc (to do some other work).

However it did become very difficult when one of the mount studs started slipping and I had to saw it...but the starter didn't leave me enough room to get the saw in... then I couldn't undo the starter because the downpipe was in the way...then I couldn't undo the downpipe because the exhaust joint was rusty...it was a long night but now it's done...almost...I am a car bore!

Here are a few pictures of work in progress - must finish the other 200!

Ohhhh nasty bit of rust

It's not too bad really. I bought another wing off eBay for £1.49 - ok so postage was £25 but I think I got a good deal. I may have said this about my other 200 (and it's still true) but this one will look like new when I've finished with it!

And I thought I was lucky only paying £250 each for my wings . Well they are £600 each now !!

The great thing about this 200 is that nobody wants the spare - they are all mine...and normally only 99p on eBay!
