Debuted in 1996, VAG’s PQ34 platform provides the foundation for many of Europe’s most popular vehicles of the time. With the earliest vehicles reaching a quarter-century in age, but still much-loved by several car scenes across the globe, it’s no wonder that we’re still being asked for parts for them.The OE rubber engine/trans mounts soften and perish with age and usage, and in extreme cases can rupture and crack leading to failure. This can result in the following symptoms -Knocking noisesExcessive engine movementImprecise shiftingVague throttle responseWheel hop from standing startsPowerflex's inserts reduce engine and trans movement, resulting in the following -Sharper throttle responseMore accurate gear changesReduced wheel hopImproved tractionProlonged mount lifeAvailable in 3 material variants, you can choose the insert that best fits your needs. These new parts are also the perfect accompaniment to Powerflex's already very popular PFF85-420 Lower Engine Dog Bone Mount for peak engine/trans stability.

Redesigned to address common factory failure parts, Powerflex bushings allow the articulation required to maintain control of movement for increased performance while far outlasting the stock parts they are replacing. Additionally, Powerflex Engineering Line products for some fitments include unique features like polyurethane monoballs and offset geometry to provide ultimate performance without the harshness of metallic race parts. Powerflex polyurethane engine/drivetrain mounts and reinforcements are available for some fitments to reduce movement for better throttle response and more power to the wheels.Bushings are produced in one of three durometers – Yellow (70A, approximately 25% stiffer than stock), Purple (80A, approximately 30% stiffer than stock), and Black (95A, approximately 80% stiffer than stock). Unlike other brands using only one urethane grade for all applications, Powerflex design engineers choose the correct hardness to allow for the specific movement or rigidity required for each location while minimizing unwanted NVH.
