Acceptable engine movement
Just wondering if anyone can add to this. . . . .
Whilst under the car earlier today I noticed that when rotating either of the front wheels (when clear of the ground, selector in P and handbrake on), the engine and transmission seemed to move a large amount (up and down around 20-30mm) very easily. I'm thinking the transmission mounts are slightly on the worn side. Has anyone else experienced this? Could also possibly explain the slight knock and slack in take up of drive. . . . ? Any input greatly appreciated.

After doing some delving, It's evident that the front torque support on the front O/S of the engine is basically in 2 bits. . . .
Will be replacing asap.

If one engine mount has gone, I'd keep an eye on the rest and the tranny mounts. Guessing you don't really feel the car itself lift when you turn the wheel like that as the lift is being transferred into the engine as the mount has failed.
Replace it and see what happens.

When alternating from reverse to drive with the engine started and the bonnet lifted (and foot on the brake), you can see quite a large amount of up and down movement too. I've inspected the other mounts and they seem ok at the moment. The torque support that has failed is subjected to a fair bit of stress I'd imagine.
Ordered a new one from Audi, very reasonably priced I thought.
