Just wondering if anyone knows if the "OEM" motor mounts from Vertex Auto are the real deal like the Porsche mounts? They say they are "OEM" and "OE manufacturer" but it seems like there was some discussion about this on another thread that they are not always the fluid filled style of the originals when they say that. At $95 each, this is the best price I have seen so far if they are the proper style.

I bought stuff from Vertex that was a lot cheaper than other places, and it was the real deal.



THat place is a front for the mafia

Yeah I have had the same experience, they have great prices. However, with so much discussion on motor mounts I wanted to make sure first.

My understanding is that the "knockoffs" tend to go for ~$40-$50 each, whereas the "real-deal" ones tend to be more in the $90-100 range.

For the life of me, I can't remember,b ut I think those are the one's I got. If you search my user name and motor mounts you should find my thread where I asked the exact same question... might have been in someone elses thread. I got a brand new waterpump turbo updated style for 165 when everyone else wanted 250ish, so they do have real good prices. Their services is a bit of a pain sometimes though.

this just in...

I ordered OEM mounts from Vertex. Just got a call that they are 2 month back ordered from Porsche. He recommended the Mahle (hydraulic). $65/ea. Thought that was a pretty good deal. These are not the super cheap-o knockoffs. Any one use the Mahle mounts?

Oh *****. I wonder if the ones I just ordered from sunset are backordered for that long as well.

Rick, did you end up ordering the Mahle brand? Did he say anything else about them?

These are even back ordered from both my OE suppliers. Must be a conspiracy.

I "think" that the ebay knockoffs are mahle. Im pretty sure thats what i got, 1000 miles later and no complaints.

I ordered them. He was real positive about them. Told me he's sold a bunch and no problems. Really bashed the super-cheapo ones.

Could have been a sales pitch, but it will be worth the education if they suck. These are hydraulic, so that's at least one positive thing about them.

It's going to be near 50 next week. Hopefully I'll be able to get them installed before it gets too freakin' cold.

That's encouraging Andy. Thanks.

If you guys want the Mayle ones I can get those for $125 a pair including shipping inside the US. Just send me a PM.

Rick- Any updates on the Mahle motor mounts you ordered? Just wondering if you could give us some feedback on what you thought of them.

I ordered the same ones from Vertex. They've been sitting on my work bench for the last week waiting to install. I hope they work well!

I put Mahle in my car right after I bought it. Kinda one of those newb things. Anyway, 14K and 3 years later and still going strong. No complaints.
