Anyone regret doing drivetrain inserts?

[ThoseRings]

I am thinking of doing the full set of inserts from Eurocode - https://www.ecodetuning.com/drivetrain/mounts/

I have searched/read up on inserts and some owners noticing vibration and such after.

Anyone install these and regret it after?


My car is not a daily, more of a nice weather canyon caver/toy if that matters.

Future plans would be their Alu Kreuz brace, CR15 strut tower brace and maybe a set of H&R sways (handling/feel is the goal).

No. I have the UC ones for the trans and rear diff. But I also value performance return over vibrations any day of the week. I don’t nap at the wheel, so vibrations are a part of a car with and actual engine. If you want quiet and sedate, there’s always Tesla. No ripples in your tea when you’re sipping it on Autopilot. Lol

Also, you can do sways, but I just did poly bushings on stock sways and it was a nice upgrade in responsiveness.

i have a combination of eurocode and 034 drivetrain mounts (transmission, differential carrier, differential mount)

No added vibrations that i noticed. Did the same for my previous b8.5 s4, same result, no added vibration or noise

I have not done drivetrain inserts but I just did motor mounts from cts. If I had to do it again I’d go oem. Even if I had to do them every 50k or whatever it is before they leak I’d still use oem. The cts mounts are not terrible but idle and low rpm there is without a doubt nvh that was not there before my stock mounts leaked out at 120k. We all know in drive these cars rarely get over 2k on normal acceleration so you feel it a lot. It just adds to the already aging feel of the whole car.

Launch control and wot shifts are where the mounts shine. The feel amazing during this.

When I had my b8 s4 I did all the inserts, diversion stabilizer and sways with a slight drop. Transformed my car into a really more enjoyable machine. Felt much better.

No ragrets when I installed some in mine. It's an upgrade [up]

Not even one punctuation mark. I've got a slew of the drive terrain inserts and street density mounts. Their might be a little more vibration, which I kind of prefer. Perhaps an uncommon or unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't worry about that kind of thing. The car feels far more stable. Placebo or not.

Racecar.

I regret not doing them sooner!

Did all 3 034 inserts, no complaints. I didn't do the rubber transmission one though.

I have done only the RKX Billet Transmission Mount Insert on my DSG and no additional NVH noticed ... but slightly less slop when downshifting.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I appreciate it!

[Sean@TAG]

We have done quite a few of these upgrades, and have had nothing but great feedback afterward :)

Figured I would update this.

Did the AluKruez and DSG insert, noticeable difference.

I do hear slight gear lash/whine now from the DSG insert but nothing a normal person would notice with out knowing it has an insert.

Rear dif and carrier inserts sitting here waiting to go in as well, will update when I do them.

so 034 insert and alukruez at the exact same time?

if not, which do you feel was a bigger difference and how so?

Thinking of doing the dsg insert first as I already did new oem engine mounts and wonder if it alone will be worth it...

I did the CR-15 brace first and that tightened up the chassis a bit, nothing drastic but the front end feels tighter.

A few months later I did a used AluKruez with new hardware and the DSG insert same day.

The Alu made chassis feel even tighter, again not OMG but noticeable but I am happy with the CR-15 and ALu combo. The steering feels more direct/connected to the rest of the chassis.

The DSG is noticeable with shifting and backing up/initial clutch engagement. I did rip on it a few weeks ago around a turn and the shifting was very noticeable to me. Tighter and more direct.

FWIW all the inserts are Eurocode, they were on sale and much cheaper than 034, best part is I was able to get black so they don't stand out.
