VWR / Vibratechnics 'Fast Road' Lower Engine Mount - Review....
bacillus:
I think the mount for the 1.4 is different...
rex:
My guess is that the subframe is identical. So, all that remains is that the upper part (where it meets the engine) is the same.
Can someone with ETKA please check that? My engine code is CAXA.
Thank you!

I believe that you can buy this mount from any vibratechnics dealer now. The vt website now states a price and has removed the text stating you have to buy from racingline.
So the title should possibly be renamed?

And if you have a problem call vwr and discuss it with them :popcornsoda:

....Hear! Hear! :congrats:
And I wonder what kind of aftersales service you get if buying from Vibra-Techniques. Who are they? Google throws up a company specialising in vibrators :laugh:

Erm, the 'proper' company name has been going YEARS (much longer than VWR). VibraTechnic made mounts for stuff like Mk1 Escorts, Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, and the likes. Why is it you can still get every other mount they make from a variety of suppliers - the only one to have exclusive is this Mk5 lower rear mount. Make your own minds up, rather than being spoon-fed by all the VWR fan-boys!

Some people have had experiences of VWR which they don't like and others (such as myself and Mat and many others) have had nothing but good experiences. You can apply that to every single company which exists. It's very simple: If you don't like or approve of a company then either challenge them directly and not by sniping at them whilst hiding in an internet forum, or don't use them and instead use the companies you favour.

Robin, this isn't about 'workmanship'. This is simply about supplying a part - nothing more, nothing less. This particular part was available through a variety of sources - and then VWR MANOPOLISED the supply, and virtually doubled the price. This kind of behaviour wouldn't be allowed at say Germany or France (actually, if they were to do sommat like this in France - their place would get torched).
This thread, and these gripes are NOT questioning the workmanship of VWR, or their motorsport operations - the latter of which I give exceedingly high praise. Lets stick to the specific issue. :drinking:
