  • We show you how to install an Upgraded BFI engine mount on a MK7.5 GTI. While this video was shot on a MK7.5 GTI, this DIY would apply to MK7 and MK7.5, GTI, Golf R, Alltrack and Golf 1.8t and well as Audi S3, A3, TT and TTS. While these models may have slight variation in this install they would be very similar.
    Upgrading the engine mount on your VW or Audi will keep the engine from moving too much during acceleration as well as deceleration. This will assist greatly with traction.

    Great Video. This mount is easy to replace. Took my 40 minutes and I'm not fast... THANKS! (The Upper Transmission Mount took me FAR longer to change.... PIMA!!!

    Thanks for this video! One thing I noted was when going to remove the coolant reservoir is I just popped that whole hose junction off the unit which seemed far simpler than trying to fish into the connection for just the one hose. I don't know if gives you less flexibility but it seemed alright to move around.
    Isn't it weird how metric sets sometimes skip 16mm and 18mm but both are required here? 🤔

    I dont agree with the foam. The reason being is that the strongest points on the pan are going to be the corners and bends, the foam redirects weight distribution to inner flat surfaces where it is more likely to dent.

    On my Mk7 1.4 Tsi, I have knocking on front right side (passenger side), when I start the engine - the same second I hear knock (tuc), on small bumps, on uneven road only on low speed 0-20km/h, on speed bump i hear the same sound. When I quickly release the clutch several times in reverse or forward I hear the same knocking.
    I went in several service who works only suspension, and they said me everyithing with suspension is ok. But knocking is still. Does it engine mount, or something else? Drive me crazy. How do I check this engine mount is it good or bad? Which symptoms your car has it?

    Is it worth getting dogbone mount, motor mount, & transmission mount? I am apr stage 2... was wondering if it really does help or if I just need to get one over the other.

    • @dylansmith3
      @dylansmith3 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      At least a dog bone mount to compensate the increased torque from the tune. Motor mount eventually because out of the factory they fail due to engineering

      Would a bad stock pendulum mount cause a click noise when giving it a little gas and letting off?

    • @dylansmith3
      @dylansmith3 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@vwgti8091 hard to diagnose over a message, does the clicking noise happen if you just hold the throttle at 1500rpm? Is it a constant click or just one click? A bad pendulum mount would cause the motor to shift back and fourth more. Maybe have a second person watch the motor as you hit the throttle a few times in park to see if the motor has a lot of movement

      Engine mount noise is typical when silicone lube is omitted and fasteners aren’t torqued down correctly.

    When should you use a stage 1 rather than a stage 2 motor mount? Would the stage 1 be used on a reflash and the stage 2 would be used on the is38 turbo swap? Thanks in advance.

    • @ians3698
      @ians3698 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Both stage 1 and stage 2 will be sufficient, it's about how much noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) you are willing to put up with.

    • @timmikesh838

      Stage 2 is for track cars and cars with stage 2 engine/trans mods.

    • @MegaHollywood1971
      @MegaHollywood1971 ปีที่แล้ว

      Old post I know - These BFI mounts are Polyurethane @70a durometer (Stage 1) and @85a (Stage 2). You will want to service them in time; could range between 20-30K mi. There are other options and one is CTS' Street Sport Engine/Trans mounts that are 60a and made of rubber. They are a great upgrade to stock and don't provide nearly the NVH these would. However, if you have a built motor and are putting out much much bigger power + racing the car, then the stiffer would be preferred. That's such a small population.

      @@aviationmike2947 Does it just reduce wheel spin? Or is it also smoother clutch "bite"? No matter how hard I try to shift smoothly, I always get a little "jolt" when engaging the clutch. (In other cars, I can shift so smooth people think it's an automatic...). I know there is a valve or something in line with the clutch to make shifting easier, or something....I've been blaming that, but I forget what it's called. But maybe what I'm feeling is the engine rocking around?

    • @aviationmike2947
      @aviationmike2947 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      fredy gump I still have a bit of a jump when shifting so the mounts have nothing to do with that. I can feel it more the car is at low RPM due to increased vibration.

      In colder climates, you'd have condensation and in hotter climates, you would have hotter oil. It's well-thought-out engineering. Those that aren't Engineers will only see what they see instead of investigating further.

    • @MrZimmaframe
      @MrZimmaframe ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MegaHollywood1971 Lol funny you should say that actually because I studied Mechanical Engineering at University.. And even I think it's a shit idea having a plastic oil sump, and so did VW which is why a lot of their models have gone back to metal sumps... Condensation shouldn't be an issue if an engine is heat cycles regularly (only long periods of sitting affect condensation inside the engine sump. I would worry more about the top of the engine not having oil there from sitting more so). And second you mentioned hot oil, automotive oil performs best at an optimum temperature of 90c, reducing the time it takes to warm up is actually beneficial to reduce long term engine wear.
      The only benefit with a plastic sump is it's more thermally efficient, so better start up if a car has been sat for 1-2 hours in 0c temps but longer than that their isn't much benefit, plus if you crack your sump rather than denting it you won't be going anywhere fast without oil in your engine. VW did it to save a few coins, that's the real reason because the ones looking at production costs and sales they are the one that determine what the Engineering's work on next, I know because I have been there...
