Doubt it. Check all fuses/relays. Strange for both go at the same time.

Agreed, additionally clean the contacts.

EDIT: I've personally seen redundant systems fail at the same time (not on Audi yet, and not on a car) though so don't discount that.

Isn't this is odd that both mount goes bad at the same time?
Any one knows how much it cost to change it, i have to take it to dealer to get estimate.

Same answer as other thread...on same topic. Manual would also have electrical diagrams, fuse locations (multiple), etc. Should do physical check regardless. May have blown torque mount too, which most likely will not have codes. If unfamiliar w/ that...Google, or shop manual. Torque mount posted (including pics) a few times in past year.
