changing engine mount BRACKETS

[LOGIE]

Is it possible to change these without removing the turbos and inlets, the reason im thinking of changing is the engine has the facelift weaker ones fitted and I have a set of the older stronger ones lying in the garage. Cheers

Intake Side- Remove the oil filter Housing from the block. 1 Big nut and two water pipes with clips.

 

Exhaust- Remove downpipe/cat, then the collector section above that(3 more nuts).

 

Then it's just 4x 14mm bolts each side. Defo do it now whilst it's not in the car...!! Much easier.

 

You'll need 1x shorter bolt each side, as the facelift ones use a longer bolt in one hole due to the shape.

Thanks for that mate, is there a gasket that needs replacing on the collector section once it needs to go back on?? I have the original bolts from the pre facelift brackets.

Nah the gaskets will go again if they're in good condition.
