muppetlab 0 Posted October 10, 2009 Hi folks just looking for some help on uprated mounts. i see from searching that people use the vibratech and vf mounts but these seem a bit pricey to me. I have seen mounts available for mk3 and mk2 golfs out of uprated material and wondered if they can be used. I know that vr6 ones are normally listed differently as they are oilfilled but would a say mk2 gearbox mount fit or a mk3 front mount? The reason i ask is that i have seen poly bushed ones available on ebay that might fit and save a few pennies. The other option is to order from the states who seem to have much better selection of mounts at much less cost. Ideally i would like a solid front mount. Any links or advice would be great as i need this sorting asap as my engine is wobbling all over the place!! Before anyone says i know that solid mounts are bad for vibration etc as i have been there before as i made some welded solid mounts for my e30 but dont have time right now to try on the vr so need something off the shelf. cheers jez :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted October 29, 2009 Apologies for lack of replies but I think it's because engine mounts have been discussed to death on the forum so there should be lots of info on them in the search! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muppetlab 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Yep i know but it seems theres not really a lot of choice. its either VF or Vibratech as far as i could find. Black forrest industries who looked like a potential did not want to know. Ah well its sorted now, well sort of. cheers jez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANDREW 30 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Can i ask what you decided on in the end and where you got them from please? Also price if you don't mind me asking! Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muppetlab 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Hi Andrew, i got a set of Vf Engineering mounts 2nd hand from this forum. They are a nice piece of kit well made. I have fitted the front mount and it has firmed the engine quite a bit but is not harsh or noisy. Will be doing the other 2 mounts later this week. Paid £200 for them but they are nearer £350 new i think. Not sure i would want to pay that much though. All the best Jex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANDREW 30 0 Posted October 29, 2009 I almost bought those myself, but was concerned they might have been a bit hard for an everyday car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
