Mine was in half at 250,000klms. My other mounts are fine.

Just a very LATE update on this issue and thanks Mike for your suggestion on the Torque mount. After several visible checks by others including Audi all saying the mounts are all fine - I was replacing the valve covers last week and was able to get a close look at the torque mount and it’s completely separated from the rubber and has failed. This appears to the end of the saga of the elusive knocking noise on rough roads. With the new mount arriving later this week I’m looking forward to the quiet ride that I should have👍 thanks again folks.
