Baz 421 Posted October 30, 2011 Yes as said. Direct replacement as the 6 engine uses all the same mounts as standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allye 530 3 Cars Posted October 30, 2011 Very good mod, and as its from BBM always great quality. I have them fitted, some people complain they make too much cabin vibration for a road car but frankley I don't know what their on about, after a few hundred miles they settle right in.

dcc 855 Posted October 30, 2011 make sure you order for the right kit! There is a difference from the gti6 kit and the vts kit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shalmaneser 26 Posted October 31, 2011 make sure you order for the right kit! There is a difference from the gti6 kit and the vts kit! Is there?! I'm running 8V mounts on my VTS engine + gearbox conversion and it seems fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para 82 2 Cars Posted October 31, 2011 make sure you order for the right kit! There is a difference from the gti6 kit and the vts kit! There is an option for XU and TU engines. No GTI6 / VTS. Would it be possible to make a group buy on these and maybe try to get them little bit cheaper ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allye 530 3 Cars Posted October 31, 2011 As Para says, there is a xu and a tu set (lower mount different size) Not sure if DCC is getting confused with the collant conversion set as there is a VTS/GTI6 version of that (rear lower water block slightly different size I believe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para 82 2 Cars Posted October 31, 2011 Maybe somebody could contact Baker BM ( i don't know his nick name on this forum ) and ask can we do a group buy and would it be possible to get any discount ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted October 31, 2011 No all the water housings are the same, It's another huge mith they are different. I think where this comes from is the 8v ones which are different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted October 31, 2011 Notes: If you are running a Xsara VTS engine please let us know this with your order. The Xsara engines runs a different lower engine hose, we want to make sure you receive the right kit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted October 31, 2011 LOL, That should be on the 8v kits along with the later top stat housing hose spec, Please don't take this as having a go or moan but I've had a couple of people ring me up about these and having to cut the heater hose to fit as nothing is said about this in the kit, Yes if you have an idea of what's what it's easy but you should never assume that everyone does like where do a buy a driveshaft from.

Chris_Mi 6 Posted October 31, 2011 Para, The avatar for Baker BM is Stew205 I've always been pleased with what they offer (although it can take some time to get a response on email communications from them). I've met Stew several times and he is a good honest bloke, and a decent company: http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?showtopic=107757&st=10 I think he gives discount anyway if you mention that you are on the forum, although I've never figured out how to do this (get the discount) when you order online - I think you would have to pre-arrange with him (i.e. not pay direct through their website). Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipstick 382 1 Cars Posted October 31, 2011 I see this thread has somehow gone from the BBM mounts to hoses While on that subject I will add my 2ps worth. The heater matrix cutting as Miles states should be mentioned. It prevents people being confused as to why there is a bend (from what I understand it's just an MI16 kit hose). OK, its a quick cut with a stanley. But, I personally think as it is so simple, it should be done before it's shipped to the correct length. I, as I have heard with others, had the wrong bottom hose supplied initially and had to send mine back for replacement at my expense. The £2 postage compared to the £200 for the kit is nothing, but principles. Luckily I wasn't in a huge rush, but if it had held me up I would have been annoyed. I also had problems with the ali thermostat adapter and had to file some material away and knock a washer off to get one of the housing bolts to fit. Odd, as I am sure they are mass CNC machined, but still put thoughts in my mind about the QC. Hose clips would have been nice aswell, but nothing is mentioned about those, so can't argue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damien 22 1 Cars Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) ive got the complete bbm mount/hose kit. the engine mount kit is the same between the 8v/16v XU. when you first fit the kit there is abit of cabin vibration but after afew miles it settles down. all the bbm kit is stamped with "bbm" Edited October 31, 2011 by damien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damien 22 1 Cars Posted October 31, 2011 the bbm hoses a fine too, mine are black and the right shape/size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masekwm 2 Posted October 31, 2011 No all the water housings are the same, It's another huge mith they are different. I think where this comes from is the 8v ones which are different It's not a myth, I had one which the kit didn't fit. There is another two people on this forum who've found the same. My original water pipes were new from Peugeot and were too big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
