Well, finally got around to getting back to my apartment (I am watching a friends home these past few weeks) and found a nice little gift from my UPS man at the front door.

I will be installing these in the coming moments. I plan to have plenty of pictures as well as initial thoughts for you guys tonight!!

A set of amazing components...and then BSH's engine mounts too :wink:

so, there is nothing about this that is differnet from the VF kit other than color?

How much for a full set of VF mounts new? BSH?

LRF, you doing the install yourself? If so, can you do a DIY. I plan on getting these and want to do it myself in the driveway.

Ryan, this isn't the best DIY since it deals with an AT Passat; however, it does give you a slight idea of what you will be looking at once you get into the tranny mount install (the side engine mount is cake...no DIY necessary). Just disregard the tranny cooler steps and it will be pretty similar to what you will be doing. Best of luck and just make sure you support the engine while installing both sides. :thumbsup:

More aggresive Durometer (spelling??) then the VF and better construction IMO. I had the VF's for like...one day...and the engine mount (not the tranny one) touched the engine and sent GOD AWFUL vibrations through the cabin. not like normal vibrations from mounts...like...BAD ones. Anyways, the BSH had absolutely no hiccups. I started at about 7 and got done at roughly 8:30. So it was pretty quick

I am doing it myself, already did it myself, look at the next post :biggrin: in a few moments. Install is pretty easy, but if you want I can run through the steps involved. Let me know :thumbsup:

I know...sorry dude. This one will be over soon...lol. Like I said, the next post!

I would have no reason to not believe this train of thought.

Yessir. Only thing different is the little black bracket that sits on top. Had them on my MK6 since it has 140 miles :smile:

Duh! You mentioned that earlier...my bad! Glad to hear the install went smoothly...just be lucky you don't have to deal with that frickin' tranny cooler mounted to the battery box. :mad:

Looking forward to your thoughts/review on the BSH pieces. :thumbsup:
