I was meant to get you the link but I totally forgot, sorry mate. £40 isn't too had anyway seeing as I think you had to pay delivery from were I found it. Glad you got it sorted nonetheless. Running better now I hope?

small update!

this arrived today!




solid front engine mount from Duff on CGTI! went for the solid one as the rubbers imo have too much give and the engine on mine was slopping around in the bay! gear change was also awful! so got straight on fitting it!



slight vibration on idle and start up but its far outweighed by the way the car now pulls through the gears!

very happy! :smiley:

Solid front mount is not a good move.  :sad:
