Now available at Midland VW! They're not only an uprated polyeurathane part they're also 10mm shorter like the Polo 6N mounts, but without the risk of deformed/mis-shapen top mounts after a few months of hard use.
Still awaiting details of shipping costs for mail order but they'll be around £40 delivered. Or we can do them fitted, including laser wheel alignment for £140 inc VAT.
-
Would this include the adjustments to camber/toe etc?
-
Camber adjustment is an additional £30 if you've had the camber adjustable lower arms fitted. A standard 2wd Mk4 will only have adjustment in the front toe, with some minimal adjustment available at the rear.
-
Are these the same as the ones that have been around a while or a new design just for you?
-
They're made by Polybush and were launched around April time, but the man from Polybush only brought them round to show us today
-
I want some of these!!!
-
Was kinda hoping that these where a new design. :cry: Still going to get a set.
-
Si there's a way round the top plate problem
-
top plate? as in the cups?
-
the audi 80 top mounts are better.
-
Yes mate, I'll put a link up when I get home
-

Yea I know pal cheers, just thought this was a new design and saved me cutting to sets of caps up :grin:
-
the audi s2 top mounts are better.
Are you sure?? Going by a lot of threads on the vortex there saying they have the same problems as the Polo ones. People in the US couldnt get Polo ones so thats why they went for the Audi ones. I even heard of Audi 80 mounts being used.
These mounts with joey mob caps are the way to go IMHO.
-
sorry i meant the audi 80
-
I'm going to just order in a load of different top caps and try to find a suitable OE part.. there must be something out there!
-
Yeah it would be nice to find one that will fit straight on Chris. I'm just in the process of chopping the Golf ones to fit with the Polo caps

That's a good friend of mines car, took him 10mins to do this. so far it's the only fix for the problem.
-
edit: nevermind, didn't read the rest of thread for solution..

Polybush manufactured the uprated polyurethane strut top mounts merging the existing MK4 Strunt Top Mount with the shorter Polo MK3 Strut Top mount thus gaining the 10mm additional suspension drop. This means that when fitting the Polybush Strut Top Mounts that Polo MK3 Top Cap (OEM Number 6N0 412 319) has to be used to ensure correct location and fitment, thus preventing the knocking that few people have reported when using existing deep dish top cap
I have fitted a number of the Polybush mounts myself with Polo Top Caps and have no issues with fitment or Knocking. :grin:

Tried them, the rubber surround was destroyed within a day and they fall through the strut top as they are too small. Pics to follow of my hybrid versions I finished today
-
PolRay did you read the link posted? We all know about the Polo cap but like Wazzzer says its not the fix.
-
just use a big washer job done.

Will be fitting them after work this evening, can't see any reason why they won't do the job
-
Job done!

PolRay did you read the link posted? We all know about the Polo cap but like Wazzzer says its not the fix.
It worked for me and many other so confused, has anyone spoken to Polybush with regards to this I know they would be interested in speaking to people who have had first hand experience.

Wazzzer have you spoken to Polybush on your findings I know they would be interested to speak to you, as far as I am aware they have not been made aware of any issues with fitment
-
No I haven't mate, might well drop them am email and see what they say. Not interested in trying to get anything free etc bit would be nice to get it sorted for others
-
are the 2 parts welded together?? :undecided:

Why would I want to contact them?
There was a thread on ukmkivs (the first one a saw) and the people from PSI where replying on it and they said they have passed on all the info on to Polybush and they where aware of it, But where putting it down to people not fitting them right. It's all over the place that there's a problem with them can all these people have fitted them wrong? I even know a lad that got sent a free set to try and prove they where fine and post it up on E38, but he ended up doing the above to get it all sitting right on fitting.
-

No mate they don't need to be as the smaller Polo cap is pushing down on the modified Golf cap which is then pushing down onto the strut top via the rubber buffer. I fitted them on today and believe me they're not going anywhere lol
-
This is exactly what the rubber looked like on mine after a few days with the Polo caps
