R26 Engine mounts, which for good balance of engine steadiness vs vibration?

Ive just had to change my top engine mount i heard theyre not the most reliable before i was getting all kinds of vibrations its smooth a silk now though i just put an oem in

 

I heard good things about Vibratechnincs before, don't know if anyone on here has them on their car

 

My car was used by vibratechnics to fabricate the mounts & the lower arm bushes. For the first year there was quite a bit of vibration. They have now been on about 3 years & the vibration has mostly gone (except on cold days when the rubber is hard) whilst they are still a lot stiffer than oem. If anything it will be the lower torque link that causes the majority of the vibration.

I was told to stay away feom them as they caused more vibrations due to being stiffer

 

I've fitted just the lower Vibratechnics torque link with OEM mounts and the motor feels much more in place and vibration isn't that bad.

 

Yesterday I send my mountings to renovation. In Poland we have manufacturer who replaces rubber elemnts and insert PU parts
I can select hardness of fill.

With standard mounts u could always stiffen them up with sicaflex. Yes I know it sounds rough and I haven't done it. But have done it in the past but it works a treat.

 

It lasts really well tbf and it does work I did think about doing it myself but didn't bother.

 

What's the crack with these then. Worth upgrading to the VT ones are sticking with OEM?

 

Stick with oem as the Vibratechnics are awful.

 

If going down the vibratechnics route make sure you change the whole set. Changed 2 on a previous car and the vibration was a nightmare, but after doing the full set it wasn't too bad. The vibration is only at idle.

 

Newbie to the Megane world , just picked up a 54 plate Megane 225. It vibrates in the car at tick over, looking on here on doing a bit of goggling it sounds like top engine mounting... I have a few Questions...

Is it worth getting done or is this part of ownership of this fun car.
Is sicaflex a good option if so how would I go about applying it..
Is oem replacement the only way to go, if so how much is a replacement part & is it a special one for 225 Megane sport only????

Thanks

 

Replace it with OE or eurocarparts one. Around £80

 

Thanks
Any parts no's is is specific to the 225 megane sport or can any Megane one fit??

 

Both the same as long as it's a sport.. If you get it from renault give your reg or follow steps in euro car parts with your reg too

 

Thanks. & this will stop the vibrations @ tuck over??

 

Yes... If it's the mount? Have you looked at the mount and tried the finger test? Remove the left hand side cover and look down at the mount and you shouldn't be able to get your fingers in the mount if you can then the mount has dropped due to age and rubber breakdown

 

See when u tried the sicaflex did u put a plate on each side with grease to stop it sticking and leave it in the press overnight? Need to make sure there is no air gaps

 

Got new mount from Euro's. All sorted. Easy & cheap fix...
