BSH FSI Engine Mount Package Review

[drtechy]

I haven't looked at it in depth yet. I was considering the neck delete, but need to scope it out in depth so I can figure out what kind of cap to use on the reservoir. For the bracket (if I keep the neck) I am considering using the lower bolt (attached to the mount bracket) and placing that one in the fender instead. A little torch, a bit of grinder, some rattle can flat black and a dab of blue locktite and I should be good to go. The neck is obscenely flexible so I don't think it would be in much of a bind moved over 1 -1/2 inches to accomodate the new bracket location. My only other concern when dry fitting is to make sure the hood closes cleanly. Did you cap yours or replace it with a w/m kit? If it something I can pick up the hardware store I would definitely delete the neck! I have topped off that sucker once in a year and a half and only did it because I was filling the wife's car at the time and had some left over.

Eurocars came up with my fix, just removed the filler neck and bought a 1" (i'm not positive on the size, but I'm pretty sure it was 1") threaded PCV cap, and screwed it on. That was it, really simple, and when I need to refill it I just put the filler neck back on to fill it.

Indeed a 1 in threaded PVC cap for the job. Nothing earth shattering in regards to NVH. I do feel (no pun intended) that it helped minutely with the vibrations at idle with the AC as well as quieted it down minimally while cruising between 40 and 80 mph. I could be wishing for positive results, but either way I am happy with the cleaner look. The reduction/percieved reduction in NVH made me realize that what I have been "listening to" over the last couple of thousands of miles is indeed an exhaust leak- time to go digging for that now. Thanks again Doc!

No problem, glad it worked out for you. Good luck on finding the exhaust leak!

The BSH mounts have a striking resemblance to VF engineer ones - are the BSH ones just re-branded VF ones ?

Scroll down on the page to the MKV ones

heh, the design is similiar but my bsh's are anodized black with black bushings. they're engine mounts, how much different can they possible look. even the black forest industy mounts uses the same design, except their bushings are square shaped.

And for further piece of mind, you couldn't mix and match parts and come up with something that would work. It's kind of like how all aftermarket catch can systems for these cars are more or less the same. They started with our concept and worked up their own version.

Definitely seem like the best deal. I just ordered some as well. Can't wait to get em and install em:thumbup:
