Polo Dogbone Mount.

[Eddy]

Hoyhoy.
Even with me being the old fellow here, I think that I'm the the first to have the new APR dogbone mount installed & it feels bloody good too. There is little engine vibration when idleing. Better still is the clutch feel, it takes up earlier & easier. Also noticed more engine feel when driving.
I also tried to get the gearbox banging the firewall noise like I did get sometimes before, which made me think I was in an old cooper S.,,,,, but naaaaaaaaa.
This was fitted at--------- http://www.hp.net.au/---------- this morning.
Thanks Guy & Alex.

Can you please tell me more about what a dogbone mount is?

[Timbo]

Everything you need to know

I'm sure Guy will post pricing once he's figured it all out

As Timbo shows, have a look towards the bottom of this link.

Well bud the dogbone mount is like a rear engine mount, which secures the rear of the gearbox to the cars body with some cushioning effect. But the dogbone mount in the Polos are all the same from the smallest powered to the GTI & is too soft for the extra power. Thats the best, I can explain it, maybe some one else can do better.
P.S. This new mount has made a good difference.

Hey Eddy, how much did it set you back?

Thanks for the feedback!

How about the gear shifting feel? I heard that you get really good improvement on this department. Does it feel more precise and easier to shift?

Thanks!

It's $120 I believe + fitting. Nice price

It's all good & feels a lot better. Easier yet firmer.

I also have this, got it from APR yesterday arvo. Thanks for fitting it to Guy and Alex. Couldnt agree more with Eddys comments. After the mount has bed itself in you barely feel any vibrations. Gear change feels much better and as eddy put it "Also noticed more engine feel when driving." Definitely worth the money. Ill add more when i get a real drive of it. as its only been driven max 5 minutes each time atm.

sheesh only $120 plus fitting... so tempting!

but don't know if i can justify sacrificing the warranty on the gearbox after hearing so many stories of failure down the track...

[insanekiwi]

True... can VW blaim any engine or gearbox failures on this new mount?

I am really keen, but want to discuss about this issue prior to jumping in.
