Says it all really! Any suggestions for a new top engine mount? Volvo or poly :smile:

[QUOTE=T5TIM]Says it all really! Any suggestions for a new top engine mount? Volvo or poly :smile:[/QUOTE] Everyone who likes a spirited ride says poly (easy to fit ) but the guys that really know at VT prefer the volvo one , less harsh in the cabin.
Would have to agree with the Volvo one. Try marshall_volvo, there offering good discount.
GSF £5.95 :jaw:
On my ME7 engine, the poly mount helped out with gear change at high revs - the noise increase, in my case, was little. I got mine from Kalmar Union, as Partsforvolvoonline sent me the wrong one. Chris
PM us your details we will price you one in the morning
They can be a bugger to fit !
i put a polly one on nice to hear the engine ... but bugger to fit has to be said but i think worth it
Mine was split and that's why I thought something was wrong with the gearbox, or cv joint, but it turns out to be a Top mount! Just got a poly from SW autos www.swautos.co.uk easy to fit ( I couldn't be arsed with the standard one!) but you have to hacksaw the old one out carefully. Talk to Stuart there, nice chap and knows his stuff.
I have been told the Poly ones don't deform correctly if you have a front on smash. Should I believe everything I hear? lol I ain't crashing and I love the five pot growl too much to change it back to stock!
Interesting point - but they only move under an inch either way before metal to metal contact occurs anyhow ?! Love the noise as well, very pronounced in the 850 ! Chris

[QUOTE=hamish] both a doddle to fit IF you have made a tool to make life sooo easy. [/QUOTE] I made a special tool out of a bit of wood and a couple of G clamps, and a 2 LB lump hammer. Went in a treat after I realised I was trying to put it in the wrong side :)
