Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
rex:
No, my friend... VWR does not make engine mounts for the 1.4 TSI/TFSI engine.
I wanted to buy all 3 mounts from THS but because they did not inspire faith and they seemed not to know what they are doing, I gave up the thought and went for the VWR lower engine mount :happy2:. And I will keep the stock engine and gearbox upper mounts.
A little bit complicated so I understand why it is hard to understand :innocent:.

....I'm surprised to hear that about THS. Isn't their intercooler reckoned to be a well made piece of kit?
On the question of mixing an aftermarket lower engine mount with OEM upper mounts, I thought it was advised to match all three in the longer term.
rex:
I might just match them on the longer run.
But as you did RR, I will keep only the lower one at the moment. I do not want to waist 200 GBP by choosing the wrong mounts.
rex:
Hi everyone!
Every weekend I like to work on the car either on mods or just maintenance work.
This weekend I got to fit the TTRS Brake Vents:
And a week before I got the roll bar (Wiechers-Sport is the manufacturer) mounted:
Unfortunately the work is not at the standards I am looking for, so I will have to redo some of it.
I will post some more photos with the roll bar once I am finished with it.
Thanks for watching!
:drinking:

Thanks for sharing the pictures. :congrats: Does the RB add some stiffness?
ps: remove the shields !! :fighting:
