I brought these bushes http://www.awesomegti.com/car/vw/polo9n ... one-bushes for the polo 9n.
I had them fitted about 2000 miles ago but i can still feel/hear alot of vibrations when in lower revs.
As soon as i go over 2K revs its fine.
Is this normal?
I know if i take it back to my mechanic he will kick off, because i brought my own parts for him to fit.
Cupra r bushes for polo 9n
Re: Cupra r bushes for polo 9n
Thats the problem with the solid cupra bushes. The better alternative is poly bushes, they have a lifetime warranty too.
Re: Cupra r bushes for polo 9n
Yep that's normal, only other options are poly bushes like rover said, or go for the upgraded "X" style bushes, you still get a bit of movement in the suspension so no nasty vibrations

Re: Cupra r bushes for polo 9n
Does the vibration not go away after a while?
I need to sell the car, but if someone takes it for a test drive they will notice it is not right straight away.

Seriously, you should try to "talk over" that issue as most people should be thinking that a bit more noise is a small price to pay for sorting a VW problem.r4vv wrote:Does the vibration not go away after a while?

Luckily, in the case of my wife's 9N 1.4SE, there is no issue at all just, just sharper turn-in and no need to replace these bushes every few years.

Re: Cupra r bushes for polo 9n
My Cupra bushes were fine! yes to start with there was some additional vibration but once they have worn it, it seems to have eased off!
