What did you and your MKV do today?

What do you think of the DLI mounts? Quite an interesting design. Noisy by all accounts (gearbox one especially), but not as harsh as poly.

I did consider the Tyrolsport one too but couldn't see how they justified the price for the same design. The DLI mounts are absolutely fantastic. No vibration or harshness they just enhance the mechanical sounds of the engine, this seems to be the advantage of the spring vs poly. I would absolutely buy another set.

After looking at getting a braided line for the clutch, I stumbled across the removal of the clutch delay valve in the bleeder block......so decided to tackle that. Quite an easy and quick job, then bleed the clutch again
My info came from here
https://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/12185-tutorial-clutch-delay-valve-removal-manual-cars/
Mine was also black, where the majority are yellow. Not had a chance to drive the car yet
UPDATE Just drove the car and it is a lot smoother and instant if that makes sense. I like it :happy2:

@mjmallia - don’t think twice about adding the braided hose as it makes a bigger difference than the bleeder block restrictor. Clutch action becomes quicker / lighter / more accurate.

The ECS one wasn't around when I got the Tyrol one, but I bet it's better made. Tyrol had to send me another one due to quality issues.
Good to know about the DLI mounts :happy2: Yours is an R32 though, so smoother in the first place!

I can second that. The biggest improvement for me is the much more consistent shifts. They were fine from cold on the standard setup, but after 45mins-hour, the shifts started getting progressively worse, which I can only put down to the rubber section of the hose expanding.
It just makes a clutch feel like it should. The standard arrangements make it feel vague and woolly.
