I have thought about that. I think the first stop may be my friendly Stealer.............. If not then I may just puncture the oilbag and fill with a more viscous medium.
:happy2:

comparing just
1.VWR mount
2. VWR + side mounts
whats the relative increase in noise/vibration?

it is not bad John, just some choose to obtain the added noises, I personally can put up with some of that, but not to the level the BSH/VWR mounts give.
As i said, it is not bad, just too much for me, the car is definitely tauter and more direct with the mounts fitted, just too much added for me. The VWR car was the same, I had hoped that the BSH would have been a half way house as Mike put it.
Ps I hate frosties too!

There'll be a way of getting a compromise.
I used to run a poly dogbone in summer and R32 in winter on my old PD150, as the cold weather made the poly unbearable... so I feel your pain.

I think to inject with a silicone based resin would be the answer. I will have a look at this in the coming weeks, If the stealer cant do anything for me.
Even to slit, and inject silicaset would be better than the full on mounts.
Hmmmmm thinking now!

Interesting. And also proving that there's no right or wrong in such choices - We all have our differing individual preferences and anything sound related is always extremely subjective.
For those unsure about the Grrrr aspect, it's like exhausts, you have to hear them to be able to decide what suits you. I think that if there's no Grrrr at all, then the engine mount is possibly limited in the amount of anti-slop etc it's benefitting you.
The 'slop' on oem Mk5 GTI's isn't so bad anyway - It depends how hard you want to drive.
