Periodical replacement parts arrived at hand, these are for Golf 7 GTI with over 10 years old.
As an unpleasant symptom, too much pitching movement of motor and transaxle in addition the combustion noise and vevelation have increased while ordinary driving. As I had experienced the same phenomenon on Audi A3, my judgement must be to the point.
Liquid-filled anti-vivelation device lasts about 10 years. Parts fee costs 30,000 yen per every 10 years---expensive? 2 pieces of lower mount, especially pendulum dog born arm hinge bushes, round upper and lower, are so troublesome to be replaced, because both of them are installed in aluminum alloy lower main-bar that easily cracks or distorts.
How about fragile and unreliable arm bushes that often appears in Websites?
There are various factors that cause me anxious, trouble some cooling liquid leak that requires big effort to repair, carbon crogging at intake manifold in relation with direct cylinder injection system---?
Sweaty muscle work would be done on Monday.
Written on Tuesday:
All the engine mount replacement procedures were over at noon today.
Accompanying with heavy pain on muscles and tendon, inevitable work was performed on yesterday and today.
Because the material of motor oil reserver is engineering plastic, there is no way to support the weight of motor, inviting large hanging fixture is observed in Web site, removing under cover it must be difficult to find out the adequate supporting point.
Careful checking and consideration led me some smart way to support from under side utilizing service hall on the under cover. 60 cm socket extension lod was the best helper. Only some adjustment of height by garage jack could establish the work as a matter of fact.
As the conclusion of this work, all the NVH were far improved than before. Straightness became better, the weight of motor and transaxle is well utilized as cancelling weight. In short, the character of Golf 7 GTI was re-obtained by the engine mount replacement procedure.
Though I have ruined physically, stull this work is worth doing.
Natural decay on vehicles is caused by lack of lubrication on moving points and wear and distortion of rubber material.
