WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There must be at least 10 to 13 mm clearance -a- between the engine mount bracket -2- and right longitudinal member.

The casting edge on the engine mount bracket -2- must be parallel to the engine mount support arm -1-, dimension -x- must be the same at the front and at the rear.

NOTE: Distance -a- can also be checked with corresponding round stock.

Only if there is a noise (the engine or transmission is hitting the longitudinal member when driving around curves) and dimension -a- is not within 10 to 13 mm.

-- Adjust the engine and/or transmission mount. Refer to ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNT, ADJUSTING .
