VR6 Engine tech / Motor mounts - supplier choices

« on: August 26, 2016, 08:22:10 pm »

Does anyone have first hand experience with the various aftermarket versions of the engine & transmission mounts?

For example, ECS have four different versions of 7D0199132D ranging in price from 54 to 125 USD. The top price is VW OE. Are the lower priced versions just shorter lived? Or are there safety/functional/fitment concerns with the parts from Febi, Meyle, etc?

(tried posting this question on the Samba and had no responses)

Thanks!

Westfalia / Replacement Tent Options

« on: July 20, 2015, 06:40:07 pm »

The tent on my 02 has a few small holes and some sun fading, so I am shopping for the replacement options.

Who has replaced their pop-top tent? Did you use the factory 2 window canvas version? Or an alternate (different material, more windows, etc.)

Since the factory one lasted 13 years already, it has proven durability but are the other options better in other ways?

Thanks!
