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.
Additionally, for 3 cylinder & diesel engines, we have our Red 65A option, a material optimised for the additional NVH that is associated with 3 cylinder & diesel engines.
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.
