Did you get a set of all three? I'm keen, it's a lot of money but I am concerned my gearbox mount is already busted. I know the torque arm is new and the engine side is new as well, so maybe it's not worth the outlay.
Just wondering how you guys are getting on with these mounts? I was convinced the top drivers side engine mount in the GTI was wrecked; there was a good 3/8in movement at the mount rocking the car in 1st gear, which scared the piss out of me. I hear nothing testing the mount by throttle on-off driving suggests it's fine. In fact, holding the gear stick at the same time I can't detect any movement either... so:
Is the movement in the mount excessive?
Have the Vibratechnics mounts been trouble/expensive/uncomfortable?
Have the advertised benefits of tighter engine support translated into a tangible difference/improvement in driving experience?
I'm leaning towards a preventative swap regardless, but would like to hear the forums thoughts...
My car is a long way from comfort-cruiser, so I don't really care anymore. I still daily drive it, and it's great, but I love the point-and-shoot of it all. The mounts made EVERYTHING more direct. Clutch is bitey, steering direct, bumps are... well... Bumpy, verging on harsh. I also have solid poly mounts on all suspension and lower 'dogbone' too.
If there is a hint of a Vibratechnics group buy, consider me in. I had to replace a couple of engine mounts on my 2003 polo and I would like to do to pog ones before they go.
