Saw my mate carry one in his mk4 the other day.

As long as it will fit, the weight will be fine - washing machines aren't that heavy tbh  :happy2:

I'd be more concerned of it being on its side...remaining water leakage, flooding the PCB and just remember use the transit bolts to hold the drum

Just undo the filter to empty the remaining water and put a couple of transit bolts in. I managed to fit a small chest freezer in mine.

I'd be looking for a friend with an estate! It wouldn't be easy lifting in without knocking something
