Question 1

What should be done if engine mounts are broken or deteriorated for 5-cylinder engines on Volkswagen Golf R?

Accepted Answer

Engine mounts do not need much work, however, damaged or worn mounts are to be replaced as soon as possible to avoid harm or wear on the components of the drive line. When the check is being performed one should lift the engine a notch so that it is not put on the mounts. Lift the vehicle and place it on jackstands, and place a jack beneath the engine oil pan, a large block of wood between the jack head and the engine to avoid damaging the engine and carefully lifting the engine until it is higher than the mounts take the weight off them. Examine the mounts to check on the occurrence of cracks, hardening of rubber or detachment of the rubber to the bushing in the center. Test relative motion of the mount with the engine or chassis with a large screwdriver, or pry bar; relative motion present, reduce the engine and tighten the mount fasteners. When the battery is disconnected, a number of systems would have to be learned again before they could start functioning again. Lift the vehicle, and place it safely on jackstands (unless already done), and support the engine as mentioned above. Take away the splash shield of the under-vehicle. In the case of the pendulum support mount, unscrew the pendulum mount-to-subframe bolt then the pendulum-to-transmission bolts and bracket. Take out the pendulum mount subframe, and take out the pendulum support. Install the pendulum mount into the sub frame and the bracket and transmission-to-pendulum bolt, and finally the pendulum-to-subframe bolt, screwing them to the correct torque. Lastly, fit on the splash shield. To lift the engine on the passenger side, disassembly of the heat shield on the inboard joint of the right driveaxle is needed. To be able to work in an engine compartment, working on the top, take off the engine cover/air filter housing and the coolant reservoir, but it may be necessary to take off the windshield washer reservoir depending on the model. Wood block Place a floor jack under the engine, with the jack head resting between the oil pan and the mounts to take the weight off the mounts. Disassemble the support bracket and mount and engine, and then the reverse of the previous process is to reassemble them onto the body and engine, with thread-locking compound on the mount bolts and screw them firmly in.

Question 2

Do engine mounts seldom require attention, and should broken or deteriorated mounts be replaced immediately to prevent damage or wear on driveline components for 4-cylinder engines on Volkswagen Golf R?

Accepted Answer

Engine mounts are not very urgent, however, broken or worn out mounts must be replaced as soon as possible to avoid the damage or wear of the drive line parts. When checking, the engine should be elevated slightly so as to eliminate the weight to the mounts. Lift the vehicle up and place it in jackstands and place a jack under the engine oil pan with a large block of wood between the jack head and the oil pan and take pains to raise the engine just high enough to clear the weight off the mounts. Take out the splash shield beneath the engine, when it has one, and examine the mounts, whether they are cracked, hardened rubber, or are separating off the metal plates, and record any fissures. verify relative movement of the mount plates and engine or frame with large screwdriver or pry bar; when relative movement found, have engine lowered and mount fasteners tightened. To replace, position the vehicle and place it on jackstands, and then support the engine. Disassemble the under-vehicle splash shield and in certain models, the bracket of the exhaust system may have to be pulled out of the subframe. Unscrew the pendulum mount-to-subframe bolt, the pendulum-to-transmission bolts and drag the pendulum mount out of the subframe. Install the new pendulum mount into the subframe, with the first step being to install the transmission-to-pendulum bolts followed by the pendulum-to-subframe bolt and tightening the bolts to the desired torque, and lastly, installing the splash shield. Unhook the cable on the negative terminal of the battery and then, still working in the engine compartment, carefully loosen the engine cover working on the top of the engine. The replacement procedure on a driver side transmission mount is specific. In the passenger side engine mount, unscrew the coolant reservoir and place it aside without disconnection of the hoses and then take out the EVAP canister. To remove the engine mount, have the engine at rest with some support above or below and then with the engine and transmission in place, loosen the engine mount-to-body fasteners and engine mount-to-engine mount bracket fasteners one after another. Install the new mount and retaining fasteners, hand-tightening and subsequent to tightening all the fasteners to the recommended torque and installation is the opposite of the removal operation.
