    Radiator mount broke

    Hi.

    Popped the bonnet on my 2012 2.0cdti and notices one of the lower radiator mounts have broken ? There look like there machined alloy and have rotted away ??? Is this common and what are they like to change ?

    Cheers !

        Yep it’s the passenger one. Any idea what there like to change ? Take it the bumper doesn’t get in the way. Don’t fancy taking that off !

          Probs easier with bumper off,,they're not that hard to remove fully
