Product Details
Whiteline built the Front Engine Mount for the 2012-2013 Volkswagen Passat SEL, TDI SEL. The part number is KDT968. Included: 1 insert bushing, 2 washers, an install guide, and grease. This part is for the front of the vehicle. The listing names the SEL and TDI SEL trims. It is listed for the NMS chassis. Whiteline's note for this fit: Inserts: check voiding of OEM bushings first, installs into voiding of original bushings.
An engine moves on its mounts every time the throttle opens or closes. The less it can move, the more directly the power goes to the wheels and the less strain the hoses, wiring, and driveline take. A fresh mount cuts that movement. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 2 hours of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Passat, see Front and Rear Essential Vehicle Kit.
Features
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Insert design: The inserts go into the original bushing rather than replacing it.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Easy to fit: Installation does not call for special skills or tools.
