BSH Engine Mounts Review Update 2/12/09 page 3

[Hurdy]

I'm actually hoping for a little more noise from my VF mounts.

The BSH ones do look quite similar to the VF ones, but I think the VF ones are a slightly softer grade of polyeurethane.

Mine should be going on tomorrow, so I'll let you know what mine sound like Dave

The Quaife ATB LSD is going on at the same time
Also the decat (if the flanges arrive!!)
Then going to see if the updated GIAC DSG software is any good.....if not I'm off to Doncaster to get the REVO DSG stage 2 fitted.
Finally, if all goes well I'll be off to have the car dyno'd again

That's about it for this week

Sounds good John.  How is the braking combo?

The brakes are still marvellously strong.

Looks like I'll need some new rotors by Spring though as they are pretty worn.

How's yours?

Like hitting a brick wall when pressed with meaning.

Very nice look too.  The grip/abs is the limit now...................  In the dry!

You need uprated track tyres for summer then 

My R888's grip like a limpet under heavy braking

Oh, and the 'settling' question? Will any Grrrr lessen? Or only as the bush becomes softer?

This customers review should help you get the best answer.

Thanks for the link, Phil.

As I thought, and would have hoped if I was buying BSH mounts - Pretty much the same extent of and occurrences of minor vibrations and 'noise' as the VWR and VF mounts.

Minor......................??????????????????????????

[Janner_Sy]

You have the same thoughts as me, i want to remove the slack in the drivetrain etc and these side mounts do that great, but same as you i dont mind a bit of noise, but i dont want the car vibrating all the time.

would have been gutted to have bought it and found they were to much for me.

they are a bargain though? so when i get a second car ill be interested then.

Sy,

I think the way to go would be to modify the OE mounts.  something I will look at soon.  This review is an open and honest account of my thoughts.  I have driven the VWR red car at length, and now the BSH mounts fitted to mine, and I feel they detract away from the ethos of a Golf GTI.  The understated slightly refined Golf is what it is about for me.  Just the trans play....................

I could have bought a Westfield if i wanted out and out pure attachment to the road.  I set out not to blow sunshine up the aris of the manufacturers, nor to be psychophantic in my review or posts.

interested to see how to mod the std mount. is it cost effective. or an easyish job, in comparison with swapping mounts

Don't know.............  will do soon.  The mount has an oil filled bladder inside, so my aim is to slit this, clean it out and have a play...........

look forward to that.

i heard a co-agulated mixture of rhino sperm and donkey saliva  is the way forward.
