What they do.
To harness your power increases, and transfer that power to the track where you need it, our Uprated Drivetrain Mounts will give a much more solid drive, and crucially add durability to any high-powered or hard-driven car.
The whole engine and gearbox (the drivetrain) is located in just three places. The two upper mounts support the entire weight of the engine/gearbox, plus a third Lower Mount underneath the engine.
- Our Uprated Drivetrain Mounts are a CNC-machined, fully engineered replacement set of three mounts designed to greatly decrease engine and transmission movement, ensuring clean transfer of power to the track.
- The risk of wheel-hop under hard acceleration is almost eliminated as the whole engine and ’box assembly is firmly prevented from juddering when wheelspin occurs and through aggressive gearchanges.
- Available as a Lower Mount only for fast road use, and a full set of 3 Drivetrain Mounts for track, dragstrip and very high power cars.
Transform the Drive
Transform the drive through eliminating wheel-hop off the line and through aggressive gearchanges.
Lower Mount
For road cars, we recommend just the Uprated Lower Engine Mount for the perfect compromise.
Extensive Development
Careful development of the polymer durometer means less compromise on NVH.
Matched Set
High-powered, track or hard-driven cars should have the full Uprated Mount Set.
Add Strength
Essential upgrade for modified cars to keep the drivetrain properly located.
MQB Evo Dogbone
The aluminium-subframe Lower Mount kit includes a billet aluminium Torque Link because the factory pressed-steel part lacks the stiffness needed.
Do I need uprated engine mounts?
OK, these Mounts aren’t the most visible or sexy of modifications. But for those in the know, with high-power cars or who use their car regularly on track, our Uprated Engine Mount Set is truly one of the most worthwhile upgrades to the driving dynamics of their car. Suitable for either DSG or manual cars.
- The Uprated Full Set of Engine Mount stiffens the whole location of the drivetrain greatly to give a much tighter, sharper feeling to your car. It removes the loose feeling when coming on and off-throttle during aggressive gearchanges, and banishes wheel-hop under hard acceleration.
- This adds strength to the drivetrain, helping to protect from future wear and breakages. Rather than some aftermarket ‘push in’ bushes which crudely fill the voids in the original factory mounts, the RacingLine mounts are a completely redesigned replacement mount assembly and torque link.
- Make no mistake, the full uprated engine mount kit is a relatively extreme modification to make to your car. Naturally, more noise from the drivetrain comes into the cabin (and more than when the Lower Engine Mount only is fitted), but most keen drivers love the sense that they are more ‘connected’ to their car, and the gentle ‘growl’ that the mount conveys. Allow a few hundred miles/kms of driving for the mount to settle in after installation.
Lower mount.
For most hard-driven road cars with an aluminium-subframe MQB or MQB Evo platform, we recommend starting with the VWR150002 Lower Mount only. You can add the VWR15G701 Transmission Mount and VWR15G702 Engine Mount later.
- A lot of the fore/aft movement in the drivetrain is controlled by the Lower Mount, so changing it alone makes a big difference to your drive.
- The additional two upper mounts add more drivetrain strength, but also introduce more NVH (noise, vibration, harshness).
- The VWR150002 Lower Mount includes a billet aluminium Torque Link. RacingLine testing showed that the factory pressed-steel link lacks the stiffness needed.
- This version is specifically for the aluminium-subframe MQB and MQB Evo applications listed below.
