Brill cheers dan

I had almost convinced myself that no more mods would be purchased for my ed30..... 

hahahahaha Same as everyone on this forum

Sounds exactly like the Vibratechnics behavior....... but without the hefty price tag.

If my VTs ever collapse into a pile of rubber dust, I'll give these inserts a look.

Day 3: 

Noticed the insert has moved and is slipping out of the mount a little. Likely because it is not the correct mount and the design/void is slightly different. Can't feel it in the car yet, the insert is still doing its job but I'm not happy with it. Currently on the lookout for a cheap engine mount of the correct type/design to fit the kit to.

Check those engine mounts first folks, post up a picture if unsure

Am I right in thinking the engine mount designs differ between DSG and manual?
I'm guessing the trans mount would be...

I've ordered these inserts and I'm just waiting to receive them to get them fitted. Hope my Ed. 30 has the mounts that Powerflex thinks it has, since no other are listed for mk5 Golf GTI...

Where are you buying these from?

Powerflex directly?

[Dan_FR]

Most resellers have them, they're on eBay etc. I bought mine from PSI Tuning as they were the cheapest at the time.

Think my issue is more of a 'Leon' thing so you guys might be ok since this is a Golf page and all.....

Interesting Mod this, defo one for the future given the price when my engine mounts need doing it would be silly to go give them a whirl. Found them on Awesome as well

Problem is getting access to check them, especially the transmission mount.

I foolishly didn't check the engine side. Going to look for the right type I think

[MIJ_JAGGER]

According to ETKA, my trans mount should be 1K0199555R (BWA, DSG)
But like you say, mission to know for sure

Quick update: The drivers side engine mount had to be replaced as the insert was sliding out of position. Went with the AM part number listed as being compatible with the kit, and all is well with the world.

Anyone finding they have the other/wrong engine mount as I did - some advice:- Get the correct type mount and don't modify it to fit. Lesson learned and how 100% happy with the kit

What was the part number for the mount you had on there originally?

[Dan_FR]

Not sure, would need to check as its still in the boot of the car. All I can say is its not one of the three listed by Powerflex as being suitable for their insert kit
