TSI/02M Complete Mount Kit - VW MK3

The Fabless TSI/02M Complete Mount Kit provides a solution to install Gen1, 2 & 3 TSI Engines with an 02M Transmission in a MK3. This kit is a full mount solution, providing an upgraded front cross member and all the mounts needed for the swap.

Our mounts are stronger and stiffer than the factory mounts while also providing some adjustability on the Block Mount. The block mount has two positions; factory height and a 16mm drop. The lower setting on the mount is useful for additional hood clearance but it also helps to level out the engine appearance without impacting the axle fitment. 

These mounts keep the engine in OEM position, which means 02M axles on the market are compatible.

NOTE: The subframe cup has to be moved back to clear the inner CV on the 02M transmission.

Transmissions

02M

• 02M 6-Speed Manual FWD/AWD - VW MK4
• 02M 6-Speed Manual FWD/AWD - Audi MK1 TT

02M+

• 02Q 6-Speed Manual FWD/AWD - VW MK5/MK6/MK7

02Q Transmissions out of a MK6, MK7 or newer may come with an electronic diff (VAQ) that needs to be removed in order for the Block Mount to clear the transmission. The VAQ diff bolts right off the transmission and the cup can be installed back onto the transmission. This produces the same result as an 02m or an 02Q without an electronic diff.

Axles

• 02M/02Q Compatible Axles (not included)

Although our mounts are OEM position, custom axles are required to accommodate the transmission. The 02M/02Q is larger and uses larger inner CV's compared to the factory 02J Transmission in the MK3. Any axles on the market intended for an 02M/02Q in a MK3 or Corrado VR6 application will work with our mount positioning.

Radiators

• Compatible with North American and European Rad supports and radiators.

Fans

A factory fan set up will work, however if space or engine cooling is a concern, a slim fan set up with Spal fans is recommended. Check out our Engine Cooling dropdown under Swap Parts.
