    look for a diy for the 1.8t, its the same, but you wont notice any improvement from new engine mounts. they feel the same with new/old mounts. probably because they are all slush boxes.

    Are the mounts leaking fluid leaving red stains on the brackets? New mounts on diesels do make a difference if your old ones are bad and they usually are after 100k+ miles.

    Do not rule out driveshafts if you are getting a bad shake at idle.

    You just need to use a block of wood to jack engine carefully enough to slide the mounts out. Straight forward job easily done on jack stands. Loosen bolts before raising engine. Change one mount at a time.
