#1: 206 gti 180 top engine mount chassis screw Author: neoluz, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sat Apr 04, 2015 4:33 am ---- Hi guys,
i have very nasty problem i have been listening for some strange clinging noise in front of my car when engine breaking so i decided to look what is wrong (Mount was new). So when i wanted to unscrew the mount i found out it is moving all around but still fixed. with some struggle i have unscrewed it and found out that the bolts bracket where the mount is screwed to the chassis have cracked.
now i have 2 options i guess. get new chassis part? if that is possible? or to fully remove the bracked and bolt and add some other nut? but would bolt move then as there would not be any more brackets around???
here is the picture of bolt and bracket.... the seen side is ok, it have cracked on the other side....
anyone have got the same problem? or anyone have idea what is best to do here? im a bit worried as i love my car :)))
have phun!

#3: Re: 206 gti 180 top engine mount chassis screw Author: neoluz, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sat Apr 04, 2015 8:28 am ---- And are there any known solutions to this problem?;)

#5: Re: 206 gti 180 top engine mount chassis screw Author: neoluz, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sat Apr 04, 2015 12:19 pm ---- Yes. But the main problem is that when i manage to tighten the mount it somehow unscrews and loosens after a ride or two so it starts to move around again... Is it a good idea to take this nut out, remove the bracket and just put washer with some nylon nut and thread-lock... ??

#7: Re: 206 gti 180 top engine mount chassis screw Author: neoluz, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sat Apr 04, 2015 1:54 pm ---- You think i should leave the bracket on? It is very damaged though... Or just weld the nut on the place?;)
#8: Re: 206 gti 180 top engine mount chassis screw Author: tRiCk, Location: MitchamPosted: Sat Apr 04, 2015 9:10 pm ---- Or you can put a nut and washer onto that pertruding bolt
#9: Re: 206 gti 180 top engine mount chassis screw Author: neoluz, Location: SloveniaPosted: Wed Apr 08, 2015 4:27 pm ---- Removed everything and tried with nut and washer. Washer was still hitting the old nut bracket so i put only nylon nut now and so far so good ;))
