kr engine mounts

[carrots 1]

hi ive got a 1990 1.8 kr engine.when i bought the car about 7 months ago the engine mounts seemed worn,so i changed the 3 of them to be sure.it seemed a lot beter but not 100% but i put that down to driveing a newer van aswell.ive since done a max 1000 mile and now it seems the mounts are worn again,i can feel the engine rocking on tick over and in reverse.any ideas :help:

Did you switch them like for like ie VW or OEM?

 

If you want less engine movement I would look at using at least a firmer front engine mount from the likes of Vibra-tech or similar. I switched all three on the VR for Vibra-tech and the difference is easily noticable in gear changes etc.

i used aftermarket which i got off ebay but to be fare they looked ok.

some aftermarket are OK (e.g FEBI) but some are dire, and none seem up to the genuine ones, front mounts take the most hammering and cheap alternatives won't last 5 minutes there if you drive hard

i wouldnt say i drive it that hard,never spin the wheels.i think they should do more than a 1000 miles.its going to my local garage to get it on the ramp sat
