Engine and gearbox mounts - tightening torques?

Post by bhodgkiss »

Hi All

Ive not got my Haynes to hand

Whats the tightening torques on the engine mounts and gearbox mounts on the B5 TDI please?

So the engine mounts have an upper and lower nut; the right hand gearbox mount has a nut and bolt and then two 13mm bolts; the left hand mount has a nut and a bolt.

I've changed all the mounts and currently have a vibration at idle, but basically nipped them all up, so not to a set torque. I imagined the new OEM mounts might be stiffer than the 18yr old ones I was taking off (!), but I shouldn't really have a vibration.

Many thanks
