@Paul.

Has powerflex spoken to you guys about selling them thru VAG parts? if youve not heard anything yet i will give them a call again. Said a few weeks ago its was nearly ready.

Might get good discount with a bulk order of all the stub mounts and the rear diff mounts? If this is possible?

Yep would be good to get diff and snub mounts at the same time trought VAG .

I asked Paul about these only today, as i've got to take the front end off my now dying S2 again :-(, nothing serious, just a front end off again.

He said they are a little slow at the moment and no new news to tell us, which is a pain...

I'll ask Paul to contact them for an update.

Guys, I popped into see what the latest is with these bushes and I was told that they are just waiting for the mould to arrive.Once they have the mould then it should be just a few days before they will be available to us.
I'll keep you posted

[Martynf]

COOL!!!

Can I get one expressed to me yesterday? want to do everything in one go. The missus will freek at me if I am working on the S over xmas!! I swear she wants to put a can of petrol on the car!!

I just told her to stick an S2 badge on her...... whoops!! that's not for here, sorry!

[Doug_RS2]

Would be nice if I could get one in the next 2 or 3 weeks - I can't remember what was said about these at the weekend?

Martyn/Paul - are you going to be powerflex distributors?

[Greg_S]

Guys, I spoke to powerflex this morning and the prototype arrived back on the 27th Dec.

Paul or Martyn F are having the first one to test once it has the seal of approval they will go into production and sold thru VAGPARTS.

Initial price is about £10-15 +vat which seems pretty good to me.

Will keep everyone posted.

I forgot all about this!! hey PAUL!!! what is happening with this mate? surely its available for us now??

Which is handy because..... guess what I have to fit very soon.. a certain silver RS2 front cross member and intercooler, which means I'll be taking the whole front end off the car!! which also means.... I can test fit the snub at the same time (loads more photos :-) )

I know I like working on the S, but not even I would take the front end completely off a car twice, if I could do it once!!!

Come on Paul ..... SORT IT!!!!!! pick it up tomorrow from them and post it to me!!!! you know you want too.... and NO I am NOT fitting it to your car!

Can you also ask them about Doug's request please

ta!

My stock snub mount is about a half inch clear all around. It doesn't go anywhere near the bracket in the crossmember. I think the poly job should be much larger than stock. My car has had a minor front end bump though so the repair may have created more room!! Any comments??

Lee, that sounds about right (1/2 inch all round the mount). You can move the mount until it touches the top of the snub mount, this will help to reduce some engine movement if it's a problem.

[Lee]

Yep did that when I put it together last week but there is still half and inch longitudinal (ie front to rear) travel possible which I thought was a bit much. Half in lateral doesn't matter but I was wondering if the bush should protrude a bit closer to the x-member in mine...not sure if everyone else is the same.

It's great to adjust the vertical direction with the aux rad removed because you can access everything with just the bonnet open! Easy!

[Martynf]

Wil feed back some details and photo's of the snub mount this weekend providing nothing crops up. I plan the replace the cross memebr on Saturday and Paul has sent me the snub mount today, so all being equal, I'll post pic's and findings over the weekend.
