What did you and your MKV do today?
deltawing:
Fitted the dogbone 1K0199855BJ revision without the void in the rubber.
Now running this with 034 lower and upper inserts for the lower engine bush. New lemforder engine mounts with powerflex polybush inserts.

That is a much better mount. I fitted one of those to mine and it removes a fair amount of slop without increasing NVH. It only took VW 16 years to finally ditch the voids :grin:

Yeah made a quite a difference to mine, engine doesn't feel like a pendulum swinging back and forth in low gears. Which was all coming from this bush as I had bought and fitted new mounts and filled the voids on them with various different inserts already, with no vibration at all.
The old bush was completely shot anyway as I could move it easily with my hands but changing this got rid of a nasty clunk also when driving in first or changing down to first when approaching a stop.

Fixed my sunroof leak the pipe had came off from the connector behind dash . Also quickly tested a bit wrap on wing

Replaced the front suspension ball joints.
I replaced the rest of the suspension on the car a couple of months ago but didn't do the ball joints, so it was on my todo list.
Can't say it makes a world of difference, but glad to have done it anyway. Wasn't too difficult, but I did have to take the CV axles out to be able to get a socket on the top nut, and the one side demanded a pretty heaving beating with a ball joint splitter and a 4lb lump hammer, but got there in the end.
The parts are Lemforder, which I think are OEM:
Lemforder Ball Joint 26772 02 (Left) [£25.90] (AutoDoc)
Lemforder Ball Joint 26773 02 (Right) [£25.90] (AutoDoc)
