vwdeviant 0 Posted August 17, 2009 Ok Guys want to get on and do an upgrade on the engine mounts on my 9a as after 120K they'll be a bit on the Baggy side, and my 1->2 gear shift's getting a bit "Baulky" under acceleration... So there are Poly mounts but as it's a "daily" don't want to go "dash-shaking" route... I rememebr someone saying mk2 or mk3 Golf Diesel mounts fit, but can't find anywhere on here that backs that up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted August 17, 2009 FWIW I hated a rear mount that was stiffer than standard, just transmits loads of vibration through the subframe, the small gearbox mount is fine as it is, and a Vibratechnics front (road mount) will transmit a bit more vibration (especially at idle) but has some movement and will stop the engine riding up when you accelerate hard.

What rear mount did you use Dave? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted August 17, 2009 well it was a GSF special, looked like an OEM one but was a fair bit stiffer, I subsequently found out more than one person had used them specifically for track day mk2's :lol: It actually had some give in it, just a lot less than the old VW one and less than the new FEBI one I ended up buying from AVS from this experience I guessed that firmer VT or similar ones would not be for me, trouble is the 16v engine is not the smoothest in the world and what you might get away with on a VR6 just transmits a lot of vibration through the subframe on a valver. with a front mount youv'e got a fair bit more insulation from vibration as the front subframe is mounted in rubbers itself, and it's the front of the engine that lifts anyway, not the rear, the engine just sits on that really.
