G1 Engine Mount Rubber Pad

Replacement rubber pad for the engine mounting system fitted to a wide range of classic Volkswagen models including Golf Mk1, Jetta Mk1, Caddy Mk1 and Scirocco models with petrol and diesel engines. This rubber mounting pad helps isolate engine vibrations from the chassis, improving comfort while reducing drivetrain movement and noise.

Over time, original rubber mounting pads can become compressed, cracked or oil-soaked, leading to excessive engine movement, vibration through the cabin and premature wear on surrounding mounts and exhaust components. Replacing worn mounting pads restores proper engine support and helps maintain smoother drivetrain operation.

Manufactured to OE-style dimensions, this rubber pad measures 85x6mm and is designed for installation within the engine mounting assembly on compatible vehicles.

Function:
The engine mount rubber pad acts as a vibration damper between the engine mounting components and the chassis. It absorbs engine movement and reduces vibration transfer into the body shell while helping maintain correct engine positioning under acceleration and braking.

Common Symptoms of Worn Engine Mount Pads:
• Excessive engine vibration
• Clunking during acceleration or gear changes
• Engine movement under load
• Increased cabin vibration
• Premature exhaust or mount wear

Additional Parts Recommended:
• Engine mounts
• Gearbox mounts
• Mounting bolts and washers
• Exhaust mounting rubbers
• Front engine stabiliser bushes
