Diesels are fitted with a slope front to back, so I'd say sump.
I have original mounts on a 1.6td that came from a Passat, but it seems I have the "wrong" tubular carriers which leave the rubbers squished towards the rear. So there is some variation. You could realy do with a left hand alloy as a reference to give you point A to point B, even if your fabbed mount takes a different route. I presume its about missing the turbo. have a look at this, it says 4 degrees. http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/832117.gif http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6418704 Edited by Tim Hamnett - 20 Jul 16 at 10:47 |
