I have got feeling the rear bush has gone, iv had a look at it when a freind rocked the engine and there is more movenent then i would expect and the engine dose look like it is twisting a bit to much.

when driving there is a noise that sounds like plastic breaking and ocoasonly a knock, the other day during a fast take off i had a knock witch i asumed was the staybar pushed to its limit.

has anyone else done this.

think i might give jabba a call in the morning;).

It's worth it. You'll go from LOTS of movement to ZERO though. Prepare for some good vibes.

i hope they have some left in stock the vibes dont bother me (well i dont think they will)

I'm used to mine now. The slick shifting under power means I love it loads!

Just wait and see

Much better to drive but the vibes at idle?

Go for it:thumbup:

I find holding the revs at about 950/1000 really helps with the vibes at idle. I'm going to ask if the car's idle can be upped a bit when I next get a retune.

Might be the gearbox mount knocking. irrc the dogbone has nothing to knock on, but the gearbox mount makes one hell of a racket. plus its cheaper to fix

I get the ocasional clunk still from setting off and ive replaced the entire front suspension.......... and i mean everything

Thats how I'm getting round it or just brace myself on the steering wheel to stop keys vibrating :eek:

I take it you had no joy with vagcom either?

My ECU is standard map but I'm thinking same as you regarding upping the idle revs, good excuse to get a remap (if one were needed )

well i kinda wanted the jabba dog bone mount so i orderd it today should have it tomorow so will see if that fixes iti did havea look at the gearbox and it all seemed ok will see tomorow

Dont powerflex make an uprated bush for the dog bone mount? They do one for the mk4 golf so maybe that'll fit?

I PM'd Jabba_luke but he's not responded as yet, will wait and see

i got it today.fitted straight away then started the engine and OMG the vibes it is mad im just glad i dont use the car everyday it would drive me mad in trafic.

but on a nother note i now have a new knock and it soulds like the fron arb

It should settle down a little bit over the next couple of weeks.

The vibes settle down a bit. Hold the rebs at 1000 at idle, and it will help. Performance under shifting is good though, eh?
