What did you do to your MkV today?

[Attycyclist]

Installed a Scroth 4 point Rally harness. These are the DOT legal street belts, so no cage required. The fit is REALLY tight (as expected), so I am expecting a real benefit when autocrossing.

[KIDVersion 1]

Updated photo with new mount:

[FL 2.0L]

Cleared EVAP codes. No MAF code present. MAF cleaning must have been successful.

[Bnana]

finally got air

[nickbeezy]

the BFI mounts looks good in there...i need to do a battery relocation to clean things up.

Do you think the complete replacement mount is worth the extra $100 over the insert? (i know the billet will look better, but how about performance wise?)

Did you also have just the insert before? Was your reaction the same?

No i did not have the insert before, i also wanted to hop on the BFI sale.
since i am comparing my reactions of the OEM trans mount with the stage 1 pass. side motor mount and stage 2 subframe mount, i could feel a delay in shifting almost like i could feel the trans mount flexing under accel (as it was the weakest link out of the 3).

with the full set of mounts, there is much more vibration in reverse gear as well in the 1-2k rpm range. however it is very tolerable, but i do not think i would want to have stage 2 in my DD.
I have a terrible rattle coming from the dash/vent assembly when getting out of my first gear and some whining noise coming from the trans.
as far as performance goes....traction under accel is better, shifts are instant and smooth, everything feels solid and tight.

Don't do just one. Doing just one puts added stress on the others and that will cause early failure.

i left the transmission insert with the "additional stress" from the 2 other poly-mounts.... i was expecting it to be squished, but to my surprise it looked to be in rather good condtion . here is a of the oem mount @ 80k miles

I haven't really pushed the car yet with the full mount. From my drive into work this morning, nothing felt amazingly better. Only I have noticed is the added vibrations at about 2,000-2,500 rpm.

...and some whining noise coming from the trans.

Very possible that noise was there all along and the mount just amplified it.

How long did you let it go like that? A short amount of time probably won't hurt, especially at stage 1 and softer densities. I was surpised at the condition of my OEM insert as well at 71k. The insert BFI shows on their site at 40k must have been beat to hell!

when i pushed mine, the difference in how the power is put down is noticeable, it is hard to even make a chirp in 3rd gear now

im sure it was, i also need to change the fluid...im trying liqui moly this time.

i have had a 90a stage 2 subframe insert for 75k miles(my first mod). and i have had the 65a stage 1 mount for a little less than 10k miles.

and idk wtf happened to the mounts shown in the BFI site with 40k miles

[bryangb]

Rinsed bird **** off of it

[Matt_Mkv]

Took it to a gtg at a vw dealership and test drove the R.

[el_bobbo]

Washed and waxed the livery today.

Well, except the MK4. She's being a royal pain in my ass.

[THE KILLER RABBIT]

did some spray painting and platidipping, also vacumed the **** out of the inside

[fsiguy]

Changed my cam follower, changed my oil, replaced a brake light, cleaned my wheels, then took a picture of it.

[ChasingFreedom]

Hit 40,000 today.

[xk1llxy0urselfx]

Don't do just one. Doing just one puts added stress on the others and that will cause early failure. Just save up and do them all. At minimum, full engine mount, transmission mount insert, and dogbone insert. It'll definitely clean things up.

I do have the dogbone, but its falling apart. Whatever bushing we used was a real POS. I think that may be my issue. I always figured if I upgraded one I should do them all to keep things the same. Now what if I was to replace with factory parts? Should i still do all of them at once?

[anteramk5jetta]

On my way home, got 2 blocks from my house, and heard a bang, and rev'd out. Broke drivers side axle, FML! To add fuel to the fire, having no luck finding one locally and the possible places that I could are closed on sundays. Guess its time to get hammered

[TURBO-N-LO]

Installed the rear IDF lca's and ss-5's.

[Muad Dub]

Planned on installing my exhaust, but it rained after work till dark. Also went to get my intake from ups since i wasn't here when they tried to drop it off but they were closed for thanksgiving. All and all a very unproductive day. Did order myself a new rear sway bar though

You should get these horns. They are the hella super horns and are crazy loud. Say a bunch of cars at h2oi with them and couldn't figure out what they were but then in another thread finally figured out what they were. They look pretty cool through the grill too

[xk1llxy0urselfx]

I hate that kind of a beep, it sounds too much like an annoying tinny Japanese car.

But much louder..... Heard a few cars too over the weekend that sounded like this and my god, it got everyone's attention - ****s loud!! Not as bad as the fog horn though

[tspooner]

Next time I'll use lots of "eh's" so that no one is confused

[OEM+ sluts]

I ordered this.



Spent $130 on supplies from www.autobodytoolmart.com in order to finish this...



...and bought this.



Now have two 2009 PG Jetta SE's both with 28,000 miles (mines maunal, hers in automatic)

[anteramk5jetta]

Oh boy, about time u get to work on that bumper again

[OEM+ sluts]

Better make sure she lowers it.


Wash, clay, wax to get ready for snow. I don't have the heart to raise it back up for winter yet.
