Hey everyone,
I recently got a 1998 S6 Quattro. I love the car but cannot say that I am happy with its condition. Anyways, I understand that it's not new (almost 20 yrs old, which is not a joke)... The OE radiator mounts seem to be loose already, so wanted to ask you guys, whether it is okay if I figure out my own way to attach it? Or it's still better to get the OEs (which I do not really want, as they are not in stock for now with no ETA...)
Any ideas are appreciated

 

You should be able to score some Febi mounts on eBay for $20. OEM ones are probably Febi parts in a $20 box..

 

Thanks a lot for your help, Dave. As you said, I went online and found a cool set of Febi mounts and it's only $5 per piece (https://www.carid.com/radiator-mounts/)... Never thought that it will be that cheap... Thanks for sharing the info on cool parts, man. Appreciate it!

 

Yeah.. You can shop around and find the same parts a lot cheaper most of the time. I'll only go to the dealer as a last resort.
