Vibratechnics Uprated Engine Mounts Polo 9n/9n3 & 6R

How are these likely to compare to the stock ones?
Are the standard engine mounts likely to need replacing in the next few years anyway?

I had to replace the top 2 engine mounts on my previous 03 9N 1.4L. I don't remember the timeframe for failure but one went then not long after I had that one fixed the other went as well. Cause a decent vibration through the car when they let go.

Replacing the engine mounts on my GTI has been one of my top priorities since picking it up in Nov last year. If the GTI mounts are anything like the 9N 1.4L mounts then IMO they are worth replacing with something better than OEM.

I did the V-T engine mounts just on 12 months ago. I love 'em, very stiff, very positive.

Those of you looking for something smooth and refined need not apply.

Hoyhoy.

Me like them as well, the donk don't move.

How much would a trustworthy mechanic charge to fit these?
How can I tell whether my old mounts are on the way out?

Vibration through the steering wheel under acceleration when they are gone

They now offer 2 types. Race and fast road.
I have been told the fast road ones don't produce much vibration but there will be some.

Also I have just asked about the shipping and I think the cheapest way would be ship all the kits to one person then distribute from Oz?
He is finding out the weights so I can look into cheaper options if you guys don't want them shipped to 1 person.
Worst case it's £80 per man.

Shipping to one person will quickly get the attention of customs.

Will VT allow aus purchasers the option of sourcing them from the aus distributor? They are also site supporters.

Unfortunately not. AKS are buying in bulk from VT so has to be dealt with via the UK branch.
Sorry

All 3 via AUS = 627 AUD
All 3 via UK = 350.40 GBP (to be confirmed by 9n3 Turbo) which is approx 520 AUD
