Mk2 Golf Chat / mk2 golf 1.8T BAM 02m mounts help
Last post by liam90 -
Hello, i need some help regarding engine mounts/brackets on my mk2 golf 1.8T, its a bam engine with a 02m 6speed..
Seems like not many people do a 6speed conversion, all videos on youtube are for o2j's 5speeds and Auq engines etc.

I am using epytec bracket for the gearbox that fits and i am using the standard triple bolt mount for rear , when searching online brackets/mounts for this conversion a single bolt bracket always shows up so i am confused , is the standard triple bolt bracket for rear ok ?

*Note the engine does sit very slightly forward gearbox side by about 2-3cm.. i can't go any further back , the driveshaft of the passenger side wouldn't fit otherwise.

What front engine mount and bracket should i use for the front, seems like there's very little room.

This front mount bracket looks like its not sat on anything apart from the front crossmember , looks like nothings underneath it. (image from ebay epytec)

Still, that's got to be quite the compliment, one of the legendary Top Gear Trio has liked your car enough to actually buy it!

New Members Say Hi! / Hi from the sunny Suffolk coast, owner of the oldest mk2 in the uk ???
Last post by Mike E -
Just thought I’d say Hi.
Owned many vw’s over the last 20 years, mainly mk2 golf’s though.
My current project is quite possibly the oldest right hand drive mk2 in the uk.
Build date has been confirmed by Vw to be 11/1/84

It’s been off the road since 1999 so needs a fair amount of work to get it back on the road, the 16v on twin 45 dellortos I’ve fitted technically wasn’t “needed” but it sure beats the 1.3 with 4 speed that was in there ! 😂

Still loads to do before it’ll run but currently plodding along with welding.

Hopefully once I can do it I’ll get a build thread started and share some pictures 👍🏻

Mk2 Golf/Jetta Sales / 1989 Golf GTI 16V 3Dr Resto project, Barn Find
Last post by Smurf355 -
This mk2 Golf GTI 16V needs to be saved!  My friend has owned it for 20+ years but it has been parked up and largely forgotten about since the engine gave up at about 225000 miles in 2007.
My friend is the 6th owner, the car has never been crashed and is fairly original.  The engine is gone now - he had planned to eventually do a VR6 or BAM turbo conversion at some point but in reality he won't have time to do it in the foreseeable future and he needs to let it go to someone who will be able to to get this car back on the road.
All the parts are there (except the engine) - the front bumper, grilles, headlights dashboard etc are all stored in it or in the adjacent lock-up.  The windscreen is cracked and there are a few scabs of rust on the body and underneath but it's fairly solid and complete.  It is a full resto project and new engine or engine conversion required but the car should be saved by someone with the time and love for these cars to take it on.
Will need to be collected from Deal, Kent CT14
Looking for about £2500.  You can call me on (Brian) 07919414955 to arrange to view/collect.
