I installed an APR snub mount in my '99.5 A4 1.8T this morning and although their instructions said I should remove the bumper cover, nose panel, etc., I was fairly confident that I could R&R it from underneath without too much difficulty.

It turned out that I was right -- 20 minutes from start to finish! -- but in the process, I managed to pop the passenger-side motor mount and watched a few ounces of purplish-brown fluid leak out and form a puddle on the floor. I had removed the nut on the driver-side mount so I could lift the engine a bit, but I only loosened the nut on the passenger-side mount because I was lifting the _other_ side of the engine and assumed this side wouldn't move too much ... WRONG!

Anyway, now that I have to replace the mount, is there a better choice than the OEM 1.8T part? I don't want to add to the car's NVH issues, but I wouldn't mind reducing the amount of rocking the engine does under acceleration...

i heard you can replace them with the s4/2.8 mount

The cheap way is to go with the 2.8 mount, its what I run in my car.

Supposedly they are a bit stiffer than the S4 ones (but pretty much the same price).

im assuming the 2.8 one will work in either position on the 1.8t no problems?

If they just show one then it should work on both sides.

I also put in a set of RS4. Straight fit...

confermation about the s4/rs4 mounts working.

If A=B and B=C then A=C (in this case there are a few more steps in between, but the idea is the same).
