same product? are vwr mounts the exact same product as another brand or we just saying that for the argument sake?

The same product appeared on JKM's site for half the price, with a different name. Then they were forced to stop selling them once stock ran out i believe ( could be wrong ).
Steve you should not be put off using them, as i said before, it;s a great experience taking your car there. :happy2:
All i was pointing out was that they over charge big style on a lot of products that just have there name stamped on them.

Just as VWR did with their 'unique' "VWR Quaife" diff . . . :stupid: Remember all the grief I took when I uncovered that one? :sad1: Thankfully, I only had to deal with just one fan-boy then! :booty:
And you are spot on with JKM - that was exactly around the time I was doing mine - one week JKM had them - I dithered a little, finally went to order it from JKM - and then suddenly had to drop my trooos and take one up the hoop for nearly twice the price from VWR! :fighting:

I would and do trust awesome Gti with my car as they have done a few bits on it so blind no just know who I want working on my car and trust with it so it's that simple and as for the price of these mounts if you don't like the price don't buy them simple buy something else

Mat the whole point of this forum is to help each other out as a community, you yourself have been very helpful to me and other's. part of that community spirit is sharing info which helps us all get the best deal. :drinking:

Exactly - and more importantly, not getting overly defensive if someone says something maybe slightly unpaletable about a particular company.

That's a very good overview, Dave.
I totally accept and believe people when they say that they have had less than good experiences BUT they need to also accept that others (such as myself for example) have had nothing but good experiences.

But the trouble is, Robin, it is YOUR point of view - or NO-BODIES point of view! You can be quite bloody-minded in forcing your opinions, and oppressing others opinions. :smiley:
--- Quote from: RedRobin on December 01, 2010, 08:48:16 pm ---As I have said many times before I've had good experiences of VWR and so that's what I report. Others also report their experiences, both good and bad, and hence the forum has a raft of reports from which they can make up their own minds.

This thread is NOT about 'service'. It IS about (a) is the product in question any good?, (b) where can I get it from?, and (c) how much is it?
Just because YOU had a good experience of some work done on your motor - that has NO relevance to this thread! There are tons of other threads discussing the merits of VWR workmanship. Stop trying to muddy the water in this thread, please. :smiley:

So the title should possibly be renamed?

R U sure Alex?
I remember when I bought mine, (when they just given the monopoly to VWR) - there were some <cough> discrepancies on the VibraTechnics website. Maybe someone can check with say JKM - whom I'm sure would be delighted to have some back on their books again.

Wtf move on tt times have changed :confused: no one cares but if call Vwr and ask them about the mounts you wil know they asked the company to make the mounts for the mk5 chassis and worked with them in the development of the mounts. But give Vwr a call and talk to them

Yawn. VWR did not create the spec for the VibraTechnic mount. Like I said, VT have FAR more experience of making mounts than VWR - making mounts is all that VT do.
Maybe you need an appointment with a surgeon. :wink:
