034Motorsport Billet Aluminium MQB Dogbone Mount Insert.

Considering buying one of these, can anyone tell me from experience whether I need version 1 or 2?

I don't think there's anything to tell whether you need v1 or v2 except looking under the car unfortunately.

I just put my mobile phone on a timer and laid it on a bit of wood and popped it under the car to see.

Also, when fitting, if you struggle with your socket being too big to fit in the hole in the insert (when reinserting the bolt) then a spark plug socket seems to have thinner walls.

As above except I used my lanky arm to get it on video to get every angle. I got mine from those guys as well and no regrets about it at all.

Thanks for the advice...

Old thread but how is the car for vibrations with these?

I had a poly one on my mk6 and it did make vibrations on start up a bit more but eventually settled down

Had one on mine but was too noisy for my liking. Was only on for 2 weeks but I read they settle down because they loosen up, i.e. become less effective.

thanks

most of the reviews i have read say they're pretty good for NVH compared to the rubber types.

Had mine fitted for over a year now with no regrets...

I'd go for this mate.

Awesome GTI can source it for you.

Thanks I might give it a go. The engine really moves around when you lift off the gas.
