after a trip where my new to me A3 3.2 Quattro (06 s line was put through some abuse driving my 9 mile driveway, started having some issues. After a coolant line broke off block had in shop was told had some bad/broken motor mounts . After driving a little while longer, started getting bad. When at idle the engine is rocking back and forth, can feel it and hear it. Recently after been on my bike nearly all, I took for a little spin to the store. When I’d come to a stop I’d hear a slight pop, sometimes at accel from stop. Mind you I’m babying it. So when I hear the little pop like something came loose and my Quattro goes. I’m guessing the movement is so much it’s affecting trans. I’ve read the front mounts stabilize side to side movement? I’ve been looking into the diff mounts and feel like I might start with dogbone with the (trans mount and bushing? The round one underneath looks ok, but idk. Also heard of the snub mount. When engine under load at take off I feel if don’t idle into it I’m going to drop some serious parts on the street. When cruising at speed all fine. I plan on replacing all engine trans body mounts. But right now I’m just looking for the best place to start.
Have some misfire issues also I’ll seek advice for another time. Can’t afford to drop at dealer or shop really for this, as I’ve gathered these mounts are fairly straightforward and considered diy easy. This is my first Audi. I’m fairly competent with a wrench. And getting all weird accessing pita nuts and bolts etc. a bro going to help. Advice on which mounts would be best to start with?? Thanks . For any help, as I clearly need lots
