Been Bitten, the Red Temptress
Tfsi_Mike:
Im not getting my WALK fitted this month. Will it be ok to get only one of the mounts done? Will it unbalance things? mounted stiffer on one side and not the other?
May do the lower subframe mount while its in for the clutch...

You can safely change just the dogbone mount alone but it is strongly suggested that when you change the engine and transmission mounts, you do them both at the same time.

Janner_Sy:
mike took us out in the vwr golf today, and im pretty impressed.
initial thoughts on startup were , Sh!t me, thats a bit intrusive, but that thought went out the window within no time. I was mega impressed at the directness of the steering. It felt massivly heavier than my vRS. Is this the engine mounts causing this. If so I want them now!.
Its definately lively though. it looked like alot of torque steer on the bumpy road, although it had been raining. mike said it was a totaly different animal in the dry though
few questions, im sure robin shall be along to help.
does it have uprated suspension bushes all round?
Does it have the WALK(had a look, and it looked like the std mount was there.)
Is it a GTI or ED 30
What engine mounts where they using?road/race?
looking forward to getting my diff, and new coilovers now, and i think im going to have to go for the lower enine mount(dont think the wife would be too happy with that level of noise in the car).
overall, that car was sh!t hot.
MAT ED30:
Car does not have walk fitted and the mounts are there road mount but if u are ever near me mines got the solid race version lol vibration central lol I love it. The engine is a normal Gti engine with ko4 and ed30 cylinder head and it's cams with power flex bushes all around I think and sat on v3 coilovers
