I,m a Autocavan junkie just bought this ,
This auction is for the ultimate Mk1 Golf rear engine mount, the Autocavan World Cup mount.
Fits all mk1 chassis cars including golf, jetta, caddy and scirocco fitted with the 1500, 1600 and 1800cc engine type (020 gearbox)
Unlike the factory unit, or poly alternatives, this mount is unbreakable and simply doesn't wear out. It does have a rubber bush so its not as harsh as poly.
Improves gear selection as it eliminates gearbox movement, no more crunching 2nd gear on hard launches.
This is the last from a batch I bought when they went out of production.. once they're gone they're gone.. act now and buy a piece of VW performance history..

Smart car.
I recently got my hands on this 1.8. Will be at snetterton on the 22may if anyone is around?
Manifold is leaking and the brakes dont feel too good.
So i have some work to do first.
Any plans for racing?

HI
love the car…great colours!!
I was wondering whether you could give me some advice. Im currently working on a 16v conversion on my golf C. The car had a 1.6 in when i bought it and a rear engine mount off the gearbox. I was just wondering whether you used that mount on yours?
Also did BD engineering set the carbs up for you?? Thats the only thing that really worrying me!
any help is good
thanks

Yeah until last year I used the standard gearbox mount with a Poly Bush upgrade ,then earlier this year I replaced it with a Autocavan World Cup mount.
BD engineering can't come recommended enough by me, it was the cheapest horsepower ever,one hour RR session,new emulsifiers, new main jets ?110 and over 30BHP!!!
