[TD5 Engine Mount Position Measurements]

Just found your post/pics looks pretty good to me

the mount isnt identical to origonal but close enough and looking at it there does appear to be a slight angle

just been out and looked

the engine and box do tilt back a fair way

hope this helps

[TD5 Engine Mount Position Measurements]

Hi mate i'll try and make some sense of this . i get for your long line 330mm short line 20mm

but(here comes the nonsense)where your red dots are imagine you had dotted the outer edges

on the bracket is there a circular cut out? if so the bottom of the circle sits flush with the top of the chassis rail

ie higher than in your pic hope this helps both sides are the same

think i would be tempted to wait for the engine nail it to a g/box then measure again

[MTF94 and 75w80, the same???]

HI mate mtf on ebay £30 for 5lts tried all different x ref myself(i'm a tight git)but bought the right gear in the end

cheaper than a fooked box !

[Water pumps]

Hi mate the advice is, on certain jobs (they all range in difficulty)if its easy and cheap chance your arm(unless safety critical)if you really dont want to do it twice (and who would really) buy genuine

good luck

[300tdi exhaust back pressure]

Hi mate removed my centre box (straight thro pipe) kept rear sounded ok seamed to improve performance (pump also tweaked ) one new X-member later i was on straight thru . Drove as flat as a fart noisey and slower i put the centre box back ,not as quick as when the centre was out but a straight thru IS to loud, sounds Turd, Turns heads for all the wrong reasons
