What are the benefits of upgrading the top mounts for lower springs? Is it an actual upgrade or just as they'll be new?

Well that is what im thinking. VAG spent thousands if not millions designing that engine, gearbox and flywheel set up for a reason. Thanks guys I think I've made my mind up!

Re: single flywheel conversion
Ohh mine is the 130tdi sport ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/2.gif)
And sorry what do you mean by what method?
I had access to a ramp, if thats what you mean mate?
So do I just bite the bullet and buy the dmf as I get parts at cost?

Being s mechanic which I have loads of problems with these.... They need to be genuine or they are an bum!!!! It may cost a little more but there isn't any hassle! Also depending which switch you have if its the threaded one then you just adjust it accordingly!
