HI Giancarlo,

I can't find the part number off at the moment. But if you specify a
transmission mount for a 1987 Golf that'll give you the correct part. Order
two and you'll be good. I fitted a pair a good few years back and they hold
up great. Another plus is they are hydraulically filled so do a great job
of damping vibrations into the body.

Best,

Steven
