[Vwdiesel] Motor Mount

[James Hansen]

Yeah, the frequency that our engines run (vibrate) at, is lower than poly
can absorb well. It damps higher freq stuff okay, but the lower frequencies
get through too readily, and shake everything.  Was in one that had them...
may as well have deleted the poly and gone to solid steel mounts.  You would
have swore you were sitting ON the motor, and could hear every little gear
whine and stuff.  Blech.  Okay for a race car, but then why bother, should
be solid anyway.
