Lsd Goodness

Got the Peloquin! YEAH!!! Check it. The "instructions" on installing were sooo crappy tho Looked like it had been written by an illiterate 7yo




MMMMM the smell of traction......

[gareth_oau]

good buy - how much did a peloquin set you back?

[GOLFBALLS]

Twas the princely sum of around $1300AUD landed at my doorstep. thescirocco.com

[gareth_oau]

[DUB 20V]

you will still spinning the wheels like a mofo, but it will just be both wheels spining not just one.

[GOLFBALLS]

Nah, that's what sucks! If i'd paid for it when i first contacted them i wouldve saved about $300
I was spewing!
I'm so frickin broke doin this rebuild
I wish i was a smarty pants like peter or preeny and could do lots of it myself I read their rebuild threads and feel pretty humbled, as mine's more or less a "chequebook" resto.

Do you mean the mounts, the brackets or both?

They are the same on a cable change Passat I think. Do you have Etka, thats the place to check.

Just the mounts. According to ETKA the passat, golf2, G60, later polo's etc all have the same rubber mounts????
I think i'll just get some firm aftermarkets. The way i drive and the power it'll have, those stock mounts dont stand a chance

[OEM G60]

I'd go for a Golf Mk2 deisel gearbox mount mate, alot stiffer than the standard one according to Darren at www.g-werks.com
Have you had a qoute from VW over in Perth ? Maybe worth a go.

Going great guns - good work

Don't waste your money on the Vibratechnics engine mounts - I bought one for my Ibiza ages ago and promptly sold it to be replaced by a Turn2 kit... which did the same job for a fraction of the money.

That few hundred bucks can go towards better braking

Dude, where'd ya gitchya turn2 mounts?
