R32 bushes. They are solid rubber. Find a mechanic if you don't have access to a press or vice

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Bought a whole lot of parts on buycarparts.co.uk
My next big job will be replacing all the cylinder head gaskets because my sparkplugs are swimming in oil.
Not a lot of videos for 2.8L V6 BDE engine intake manifold removal, but I am slowly mustering up the courage.Comment

Finally found a reasonably priced & working drivers door lock mechanism. No more micro switch problems and my ‘factory’ cobra remote central is back up and running.Comment

Well boys, I was suffering from juddering on take off and my gear box shifts were terrible.
I was sceptical that my engine mounts were the problem. As the doggone mount were 034 Motorsport higher density rubber mounts with around 70k usage, and my engine mounts were Meyle oem replacements with 30k usage.
I decided to have my dog bone bushes replaced with super pro 85 poly bushes. ($60)
Well either the 034 Motorsport rubber is substandard or the mechanic tricked me by not installing them at all because after I drove the car with the super pro dogbone bushes, I can't get over how good the car drives now!
It feels like I've had my gear box replaced. If anything the handling of my car has improved. As crazy as it sounds, I think before hand the engine was allowed to throw around it's weight by moving with the whipped mounts.
NVH is acceptable. I was reading threads saying it was unbearable. At idle I can feel the vibrations through the steering, but for me it's acceptable.
The only problem now is the Meyle mounts can't keep up with the stiffness of the dogbone mount. So I have ordered some new engine mounts from Vibra Technics. They are expensive but honestly I can't wait to install them.
If your still on rubber dogbone mounts do yourself a favor and change to poly. They start at 70 durometer and then go 85 and 90.
BTW I didn't change the small circular bush, that remains as rubber as recommended by a number of threads for NVH reasons.Comment

Yeh I can't quite imagine what that must feels like. I think my povo car is fast, yet litos has 120kw more...hmm crazy
2nd and 3rd must disappear so fast with that power. I could imagine 4th being a lot of fun.Last edited by Sirocco20348; 13-07-2019, 08:41 PM.Comment

Haha thanks guys. It’s is a whole lot of fun especially with the racket of the screamer on boost. I’d love to upload some vids but can’t figure out how with Tapatalk
