Lower Engine Mount Twin Dogbone Insert - V1

The RacingLine Lower Engine Mount Twin Dogbone Insert - Version 1 is a direct-fit upgrade for MQB and MQB Evo chassis vehicles, designed to significantly stiffen the drivetrain for a more connected and responsive driving experience. By filling the voids in the factory lower engine mount with two precision-machined billet aluminum inserts, this component effectively controls drivetrain movement. This is particularly beneficial in reducing wheel-hop during hard acceleration and aggressive gear changes, especially on front-wheel-drive vehicles. Constructed from T6061 Aluminum and finished with RacingLine's signature black anodized coating for durability, the insert is designed for straightforward installation without requiring subframe removal, typically taking only minutes. This version, VWR150003, is specifically for factory mounts with OE part number 5Q0 198 037 A, identifiable by a near-circular central hole within the mount. The use of two inserts prevents the bending moments and twisting forces that can occur with single-insert designs, thereby enhancing longevity. While the installation adds only a minimal increase in Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH), many drivers appreciate the enhanced connection to the car and the subtle growl it conveys. The product fits a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including various A3, S3, TT, TTS, and Golf VII variants with specific engine and drivetrain configurations (e.g., 2.0T, 1.8T Gen3, TDI, 1.4 e-tron, 1.5T). It is crucial to visually verify the existing mount and select the correct version (Version 1 or Version 2) to ensure proper fitment. The product is backed by a Lifetime Replacement Program from ECS Tuning.
