    Don't buy these.

    Bought a set of these from ebay it gives the right oem part no but they don't fit they are no where near the right size even tried to pull one forward using two nut and bolts and it just split the rubber so poor quality to boot and can't send them back because of damage should have known for £24.95 as the oem ones are £34.95 + vat each, £30.00 plus £9.00 + post with pete at Q/corner. I also bought top mounts from the same guy last year oem blue ones fitted them 6 wks ago and a bearing came away from one mount before I even drove the car. Will be buying from Tps as I normally do ,as at the moment there isn't one thing I have bought that's not oem on the car so why I bought these I don't know :bonk

    Link doesn't work...

    I never scrimp on parts for the S2, it's too heavy and too fast to try and save a few £ here and there...

      I tend to avoid that seller anyway. Fake 'short supply' auctions.

          To be fair, you have an ABY and he states they are only for the 5 speed S2. Part number for 6 speed mounts is different.

            Good catch. 431 399 151 D is for the ASZ, AXM and ARV transmissions

            The later CBR, CGR and CRB 6 spd transmissions need 8A0399151D mounts.

                    most will tell you they didn't even do an S2 so probably not much use.

                    In reality better to post up here and get someone with knowledge/access to the family album to confirm what you need. I guarantee that will be 100% more reliable than any other source

                      I did this first in my thread ( help with part number ) and I had a reply in post two stating that 431-399-151 D was the ones I needed but I should of looked closer at the diagramme as it states there in illustration no 14 that in deed it is 8A0-399-151 D is what I needed I blame old age and i need a visit to spec-savers
