Cooler Rad Rubber Mounts 803121275, HOW MUCH!

Typical; bank holiday, great weather and its just the time when you find the auxiliary cooling rad mounted behind the main rad under the engine has decided to part company with its rubber mounts on one side and is scarily close to scraping the ground on one side :(

Fortunate for me I was parked on a car park approached from a lower level and just happened to notice something hanging under the engine (no, I dont know how long its been like that!)

Besides the fact you just cant source any original parts on a bank holiday, I find that these are selling for anywhere from 10-13.00 quid each. Gordon Waters! (as my dad would say, or bl**dy hell for the rest of us)

Amazonk to the rescue - diagnosing found that they are M6 male/male rubber mounts 18m diameter, 10mm depth rubber, with 10mm threads either end. You can get hold of a set of 4 for just 6.99 delivered (if you have prime) from here;
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... UTF8&psc=1

They are not an exact match being 18mm threads and 20mm dia, but you only need 3 and all you have to do is cut the threads down - they fit fine.

Now the purist in me will probably order some VAG replacements at some point but for now; time for a blast 8)

Oh and its worth pointing out, they are a bitch to get the broken end off (malgrips required) and I recommend if you are changing one or two, change all 3!

I did that about a year ago, found some on ebay and cut the threads down.
