I used the BBM ones in my 309 that I put a Gti6 eng in and they were good in thatMinimum extra vibration,but reduce eng movement massively They are alot stiffer than standard  But have heard people on here say they are harsh in the 306  not used them on my Rallye so can't say.________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

very harsh on any pug/citroen, you just don't notice it as much in the older ones as they rattle and vibrate as standard  best compromise is standard peugeot mounts. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I have Group N top mount and gearbox mount and a Group A lower mount. Works for me.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Had a group n lower mount in mine, was shocking, so removed it. Just gone back to new Genuine Pug. Incidently, ive had to replace the main engine mount on the inner wing as i'd got a pattern part which sheared the thread off (top thread) after 6 months of use. The new Genuine Pug one is much heavier!________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

I've got a right selection... Powerflex lower mount, Baker M gearbox, and a chocked top mount following the guide on here and the engine hardly moves at all and made gear changing mucho better!! I didn't get any vibrations at all well.... at least until I put a strut brace on, then the passenger air bag started to squeak and creak ________________________________________ This site is my mechanical bible, Thank-you everyone!! |

It only vibrates the dash on first starting, after that it's fine. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

It's the lower mount which causes the majority of the cabin vibration. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
