MK6 VW POLO GTI AND AUDI A1 ENGINE/TRANS MOUNT INSERTS

The focus for this weeks release is VAG’s supermini MQB A0 platform, which boasts several hot models, namely the Audi A1 Sport and VW Polo GTi.

The combination of comfort, a sporty feel and 200PS on tap makes them a strong contender against other similarly priced hot hatchbacks.

Often with vehicles in this section of the market, tuning is commonplace with re-maps offering a near 50% increase in power and torque.

But what about those poor OE engine/trans mounts?? Increased torque associated with remapping can often put added strain on the voided rubber components, resulting in excessive wear and engine movement.

This week we are releasing a set of our Yellow 70A durometer engine/trans mount inserts, designed as a cost-effective and easy to fit solution to revive your powertrain mounting.

PFF85-1821 Upper Engine Mount Insert

PFF85-1822 Lower Engine Mount Insert

PFF85-1823 Gearbox Mount Insert

Reducing engine/trans movement by way of upgraded inserts has the following benefits:

Sharper throttle response

More accurate gear changes

Reduced wheel-hop

Improved Traction

More balanced on/off throttle handling

For those who want no compromise, ultimate performance for the track or motorsport, these inserts are also available in our Black Series 95A durometer material.

A small increase in NVH, usually at idle, should be expected when stiffening the connecting mount between the engine/transmission and chassis. The harder the material used, the greater the NVH transmitted.
