In this yee haw episode of cowboy mechanics.......I mean cars and engineering, I will be DIY making poly engine mounts for the polo!
Why would you want to do this?
well if you have any fillings you need shaken out of your teeth then boy is this the mod for you!
No in all honesty the reason you would want to do this to your cars engine mounts is very simple.
The harder compound rubber holds the engine more firmly in place so when you apply throttle and rev the engine the engine itself doesn't move as much as it would on standard or softer mounts, this reduces acceleration time as the engine is connected to the chassis and wheels more solidly.
In short the engine is more fixed in place so more vibrations go through the chassis which is obviously bad for comfort but its day and night for acceleration as soon as you touch the accelerator the car is moving, theres no lag power is just there immediately, as soon as i did this mod and the rubber was cured, on the test drive i couldn't believe how a £40 mod changed the driving characteristics of the vehicle.
If this is something youd like to do to your car it can basically be applied to any vehicle with soft factory mounts.
