Powerflex Destruction :S - CJ_Derv - 29-04-2012

Bit bored so thought id share this Smile

Heres a quick pic of how a powerflex engine mount can fail :S

anyone else managed to do this lol

But to be fair sent them email and they sent a replacement within a few days under lifetime warranty and some extra large washers to stop this happening again, Thumbs up Smile

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - cwspellowe - 29-04-2012

So by sending you extra large washers they're admitting their product's a poor design?

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - spike2002 - 29-04-2012

That is shocking!!!
I have powerflex bottom arm bushes and they are nackerd how did you go abought geting the replacement Big Grin

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - Ruan - 29-04-2012

I can't imagine how my stock one feels... lol!

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - CJ_Derv - 29-04-2012

I only set off in second but now with bosch power Smile

They were very good just sent an email explaining how i have all their products on my car and attatched these images and no questions asked they sent it out FOC didnt ask for proof of purchase or anything well impressed Smile

its wierd how just one slice split and not the other the large washers are to keep the 2 pieces in if it happens again. as it was a rough ride home lol

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - Jake - 29-04-2012

ooops!... How do they feel when they aren't split, heard they are very "solid" ?

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - darrenjlobb - 29-04-2012

thanks for the info mate Smile

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - CJ_Derv - 29-04-2012

haha I have top mount adaption to stop any movement and a harder gearbox mount, there is a reasonable amount of vibration at low idle. they are fairly hard but I can feel the improvement.

I couldnt work it out Darren lol but luckily didnt cause any other damage

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - Dave - 29-04-2012

Off topic, but how did you find drving with a poly bush in? Is it horrendous as a daily, or better etc??

Much better pal, more responsive feel to it id say, and you can feel when something isnt right lol

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - Dave - 29-04-2012

Yeh I wanted to make one just for the agressive feel to it, but didnt know if it would totally do my head in as a daily though...

I use mine everyday and its all good mate

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - darrenjlobb - 29-04-2012

To be fair they are a bit rash on a daily derv...dosnt bother me at all as the cars really just for fun, but if your using your car with passengers / in traffic etc all the time, it probs will piss you off..makes stuff vibrate etc at idle...

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - Atterz - 29-04-2012

Applies to 6s also people! 4 pot engines generally arent the smoothest engines so you do get some vibration at idle even when using petroleum engined vehicles.

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - darrenjlobb - 29-04-2012

Heh, still total win tho as far as im concerned, raw naughtyness ftw.

This is my concern, especially with an unsprung clutch... I guess I should just man up and try one though... probs make one in few hours heh cheers for input, back on topic Big Grin

Re: Powerflex Destruction :S - Atterz - 29-04-2012

O yes Smile

Just dont put Group Ns on a diesel, or any road car for that matter >.<
