Hydro-Mounts
I need two new engine mounts (Hydro-Mounts) as VCDS is telling me there is no signal.
I know people say you can leave them but I don't like things being broken, so I got to replace them. Audi wants about £340 per mount and i'm not prepared to pay that.........well, I am if there's no alternative but I want to see if there's any alternatives. So is there any alternative supplier for these mounts?

Personally, I wouldnt waste the money on them.
I had one of them replaced for free under warranty one time my old D3 3.0TDI was in for a service. I did'nt notice any difference before of after. Obviously it will throw a fault code but I can live with that. |

You can avoid the fault-code by disconnecting the mounts and plugging in resistors sold by Audi themselves

The engine mounts are marked 'Avon', not sure if it's one of these...
http://www.avon-group.co.uk/industries/automotive/ http://www.avonauto.com/ http://www.avonauto.com/pdf/Source/V...ets%202007.ppt Could be worth giving them both a call
