Powerflex now has new, cleverly designed, engine/gearbox mount inserts for some of the VAG PQ35 platform vehicles including: VW Golf 5 & 6, Scirocco, Jetta and Passat as well as Audi A3, S3 & TT with 2.0 FSi, 2.0 TFSi, 2.0 turbo and V6 engines.
The stock transmission and upper engine mounts have always been a problem on these vehicles. The rubber perishes and splits, allowing the engine to move excessively.
The answer until now has been to replace them with new standard rubber mounts or fit expensive aftermarket mounts that are generally prone to excessive levels of NVH transmission.
Powerflex now has an intermediate solution in the form of polyurethane inserts which fit into the original mounts.
PFF85-530 Transmission Mount Insert – £ 34.50 inc. VAT.
PFF85-531 Upper Engine Mount Insert – £ 34.50 inc. VAT.
For vehicles used in Motorsports or predominately on track these parts are also available in the Powerflex Black Series range which is manufactured using a 95 Shore A compound that boasts 25% increased stiffness over the Powerflex Purple 80 Shore A performance material.
All Powerflex bushes, of course, carry a Lifetime Warranty.
