Hey guys, just wondering are upgrading engine mount bushes worth it as i am putting another engine in. If so who should i go for? Such as superpro , powerflex ect.

I'm about to change mine back to standard as powerflex ones have given me a huge amount of noise and vibration in the cabin (i.e the car is quiet on the outside at idle but noisy inside-just unpleasant)
I can only confirm it was the mounts once I've changed them but I'd leave them if I were you, or renew them with OEM items if they're perished

if you have false teeth leave the original vw ones in,if your teeth are real upgrade to poly ones,as they wont vibrate out  :thumbs:

i only have the one on the front which made a big difference.

the others were taken off after about 5 miles, YES they are that bad. the vibration was unbearable.

Who makes polly engine mounts then? apart from the front snubber don't recall any one advertising these, not counting those red bush,s (forget make)  which look unsuitable.

Its a yellow one, i can't remember what make it was, it was an ebay find.

well worth doing. i don't even notice a difference with vibration etc..

it certainly stops the engine from lurching around.
which is what i wanted it for.
