mk3 1.8t engine mounts
« on: 24 July 2010, 16:09 »
Am I right in thinking I need all the engine mounts from a 16v GTi for this? I've been told to use a solid front mount but this isnt necessary is it? Wheres a good place to get them from?
cheers
20vt conversion, sig pic coming soon!

You do not need a solid front mount, way too harsh for road use.

Roughly how much could a set of mounts be from vw?
Dont think I'm gonna go for sport ones, bit more wonga than im willing to part with

what sort of gains would I get from using vibratech mounts over vag ones?
They are quite a bit more expensive, would people reccomend using them for a 1.8t or stick with standard 16v mounts?

standard mounts will be best. racing mounts will make your ride way too harsh

lol the oposite of what all the advertising says then :P the vibratech ones all say they will mak the ride smoother with less engine movement :)
Think im gonna go vag anyway, £150+ for a front engine mount is crazy
