VWR Engine Mounts -
Fast Road or Track
To harness your power increases, and transfer that power to the road or track where you need it, Volkswagen Racing Engine Mounts will give a much more solid drive, and crucially give additional durability.
The VWR Engine Mounts are certainly not one of the most exciting or visual modifications that you can do to your car! But they are truly one of the most worthwhile for anyone who appreciates the driving dynamics of their car. Almost everyone who tries these mounts on a Mk5 wants them!
So what do they do? The whole engine and gearbox is located in only three places. The standard car uses very compliant rubber in these mounts to give a soft take-up of power and isolate the cabin from drivetrain noise. When cars produce high power, or have covered quite a few road miles, or are driven hard, these standard rubber mounts get softer and softer, allowing more and more movement as you come on and off the power. With very worn mounts, we have seen failures of the exhaust manifold and driveshafts as the drivetrain moves further than it should.
The VWR engine mounts stiffen the whole location of the drivetrain up greatly, meaning no jerky behaviour on and off the throttle, when you change gear, and all-but eliminates 'wheel hop' off the line. Of course, more noise from the drivetrain comes into the cabin, but most keen drivers love the sense that they are more 'connected' to their car.
These really are an essential modification for any car that is going to be driven hard, or have significant power upgrades. Available in fast road (with some compliance) or solid versions for full race applications
