I have a small vibration when idle and noticeable engine-gearbox movement when changing gears. Should i go with original equipment or look for something else? They are quite expensive though

Engine and gearbox mounts
Thinking of replacing all 3 mounts. Went through my service book and found out i only changed the main engine mount about 11 years ago when i changed timing belts for the first time.

Get Febi ones. They are excellent quality. The oem ones are Febi ones with a stamp. I had it confirmed by Febi themselves

That's great! Febi ones are half the price. The rear mount must be bought genuine though. It is only produced by vw and costs around 80euros.
One more thing. Should i also get this part 6N0199111H for the mount under the battery?

Mount under the battery is for the gearbox- i would probably change it.
