engine mounts

[tartanflyer]

what are the symptoms of knackard engine mounts? when i accelerate hard in 4th the gear stick shudders really bad like something is loose :panic: heard it could be the lower engine mount is this true?

If you change to a poly-item, be prepared for lots of transmitted vibration through the body.

Another thing - to remove the old bush is easy, the bush is plastic, not metal so just bash it out of the mounting bracket with a chisel and hammer.

Cheerz going to get it on the ramp next week. isit worth just staying with the standard bush if the poly transmitts a lot of vibration through the body?

[tartanflyer]

ive been told its the lower engine mount. you need to get under the car to get to it. it can affect the gear changes to. my gear stick shudders and rattles at high rpm to !!

group n would be killer for vibration (i have a set waiting to go on mine)

powerflex isnt too bad tbh
but it does vibrate a bit

imo if your not after performance a standard will do fine
only really need a polybush if your trying to reduce engine movement

[benkelsall]

Are them group n mounts any good then?

[tartanflyer]

finally got around to getting my lower mount done.went with the polyflex and what a difference :y: cured all my gear shift problems, no more shuddring in traffic makes the car feel more crisp well pleased!!. there is abit more vibration felt but i can live with that. thanks guys for the help with this!

yegh my work mate has a track day 106 GTI that has polys and he says that its pretty stiff and it vibrates quite a but

[tartanflyer]

you do feel it abit but its bound to get less as the bush beds in. looking at my old bush it was well shot. for £26 and 30mins work its worth it just for the difference felt in the gear shift.
