Lower engine mount

(1/3) > >>

Sug:
I currently have a powerflex lower engine mount and although it's tightened the engine movement up and hopefully protecting my downpipe the vibration at a standstill, edging forward or reversing make the car shake like a sh*tting dog. I am aware there will be a slight increase in the cabin vibration but there must be other designs/brands that surely reduce this??

I have emailed hurdy for a price on HPA mount just waiting a reply

What others are people using?

muff1991:
Don't ecs tuning do one?

pudding:
I use the Vibratechnics one and the vibration is negligible, just a very slight increase in transmission whine.

mk5-beast-91:
same as pudding ive got the vibratechnics one and only felt a very slight increase in noise and vibration. got used to it after about 10 mins of driving.

pudding:
It's the side mounts that transmit the most vibes.  I had those in Vibratechnics as well (fast road flavour), but swiftly removed them in favour of fresh standard ones, which to be fair works well enough for most peeps with the VT dogbone.  All 3 uprated is really horrible for a daily driver imo.

I think when folk buy a GTI on the original mounts, they assume that's how bad they are standard and go from one extreme to the other, but I'd recommend trying new standards first before going uprated as they are  a lot better than knackered old ones.
