Default Engine mount (?) part number

Hi All

This is a photo of an engine mount (?) on my 2002 S8. It's at the front of the engine on the driver's side and is clearly in need of replacement! The photo is taken from the open bonnet. I have a little knock at slow speeds on rough road surfaces from around this area, so I suspect this might be the culprit. A proper description and part number would be most helpful.

Thanks, Jim

4D0199267 'rubber mounting', about £50 iirc.

When you change it, remove some shims from underneath the body bracket so that the bracket sits neatly on the top of the mounting. The reason it fails is that from the factory the bracket is shimmed to the right height but after 15 years all the main engine mounts have sagged so the engine sits 3-4mm lower than when it was made and it tears this mounting in half. Put plenty of penetrating oil in to the mounting bracket threads from above a day before you start since the bracket collects water and the steel bolts go rusty.

Thanks MJ.

Is it an easy DIY job to remove and replace it, or should I trundle down to my local Audi indy?

Its easy if you have the front end off. I would say the minimum dismantleage is undertray & bumper off and driver's side headlight out. You may need the front end in service position to get to the bracket bolts though.

Yep, a trip to my local Audi indy is due then. Thanks again. Wish we lived in the south-west!

Confirm MJ's part no (as if I would ever dare argue)

got my cam belt changed recently and this was gubbed on mine too, approx £60 from our sponsors, my tame mechanic fitted it in about 10 mins, and didnt charge me either, said it was included in the already hefty bill for the cam belt etc change

I was planning to get mine done when the cam belt needed to be changed. But I only had it done 40K miles ago (January 2015) and, IIRC, the interval is 80K or 6 (?) years. I’d also planned to get the tensioners done (after MJ’s warning at the annual meet), but now I’m thinking I ought to bring this all forward.

Any thoughts guys?
