Engine mounts 2.0 TDI 2009

[Jamie Thomson]

Swapped my o/s/f engine mount last nignt, used lemforder (original part with Audi rubbed out). Basic mount no wires going to it.

Noticed the other side was leaking, it does have wires going to it but is 3 times dearer. Can I fit the standard one without any side effects?

Thanks for any advice

In theory yes (i for one would prefer the standard one). The only thing is you will have an error code (engine light if im not mistaking), since the connector will be unpluged

Thanks for the reply.
Managed to get an electronic lemforder one for a reasonable price, again with the 4 rings scrubbed out. So should hopefully last another 9 years

 

[TimR]

They usualy last quite long depending on the stress levels you put on the engine. So should last at least 60000 miles.

A bit off topic since you have a 2.0tdi.

Could you check if it makes this noise bettween 0:16 and 0:22 @1500rpm

Sounds like a big job. Do you have any photos?

Luckily, I don't have that sound. But it could be a mount issue or excessive play somewhere.

This is quite an interesting video. Engine hoist essential, plus couple of trolley jacks and the space to work.

That seems like a big, complicated job.
