carrots 1 Posted April 21, 2010 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: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastie4126 0 Posted April 21, 2010 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted April 21, 2010 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
