Fitment on a used gearbox mount varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Yes, every Volkswagen Eos has at least one gearbox mount — it is a standard component that secures the transmission to the subframe or body on front-wheel-drive vehicles like the Eos, regardless of whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox. The Eos was only ever offered in front-wheel-drive layout, so there are no four-wheel-drive variants to consider. If you are unsure which mount you need (some Eos have separate transmission mounts at different locations), describe the exact position to the breaker and confirm against your registration.
The Volkswagen Eos was produced as a single generation running from 2006 to 2015, with a facelift introduced in 2011 — so a 2007 car is pre-facelift and a 2012 car is post-facelift. While the engine codes and transmission types overlap across that boundary, ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production, so crossing the 2011 facelift line with a gearbox mount is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume it will swap straight over. Matching engine code and gearbox type (manual or DSG/automatic) is the most important starting point.
Yes, the engine code is the most important detail for sourcing the correct gearbox mount, because different engines and their paired transmissions can use different mounting configurations. The Eos was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines — including 1.4 TSI, 1.6, 2.0 TSI, 2.0 TDI, and 3.2 V6 variants with codes such as BLF, BVY, AXX, BWA, CCZB, BKD, and BMB among others — and gearbox type (six-speed manual, DSG, or tiptronic automatic) matters alongside the engine code. You will find your engine code on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker is the single most useful thing you can do to get the right part.
No, trim level does not affect gearbox mount fitment — the mount is a mechanical component determined by the engine and gearbox combination, not by whether the car is a standard, Sport, or Lux specification. All Eos trim levels shared the same bodyshell and drivetrain options, so a Sport and a base-spec car with the same engine code will use the same mount. Focus your search on engine code, gearbox type, and year rather than the trim badge.
Yes, it can matter — manual and automatic (DSG or tiptronic) transmissions are physically different units and may use different mounting brackets or positions, so a mount sourced from a manual Eos may not suit a DSG car and vice versa. Always tell the breaker which gearbox type your car has, alongside the engine code, to make sure the donor vehicle matches yours. If you are unsure of your gearbox type, a VIN check or your V5 should confirm it.
The 2011 facelift is a known production boundary for the Eos, and while many mechanical components carried over, mounting and ancillary parts can change across a refresh without any external indication. Whether a pre-facelift gearbox mount crosses that 2011 boundary and fits a post-facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations — do not assume compatibility based on the shared generation alone. Matching engine code and gearbox type on both vehicles gives the breaker the best chance of advising you accurately.
