sad to hear it pal, i'm also a dog owner, been there got the t shirt, it'll get better with time mate
It stops a lot of engine movement whilst pulling away and accelerating.....basically it smooths out the way the car pulls and stops the engine from hitting the bonnet.

you can send me some of them cakes over like might help me choose a new style of wheel
So sorry to hear that Rob....he/she will be in a better place now then!
And why come on here for witty banter? You know we'll only take the p**s for you being a Southern Shandy Drinker
Found some that I think you may like Tony....but you'd need some special cakes to make them look right.....

It's basically a mount that's been made for the track so I think it may loosen your fillings.
Well I've just started to do the Snub Mount and in all honesty the new Powerflex one is on a par or maybe slightly softer that the rubber one.
But I think the rubber one is goosed...
and the new one fitted to the mount....
Now I just need to put the car back together and try it out. I definitely think this one will be the one to get. I'll be back on later and give you all the verdict!

Well ****** me with a 5' barge pole.....
That has to be the smoothest that the car has ever driven, that includes pulling away slowly or like an idiot forcing the traction control to kick in....no movement or juddering at all.
And whilst driving it's really smooth and when you put you foot down and let it off and put it down again there's no slack that has to be taken up before you get it all to the wheels....there is no movement at all.
Now the main part I was worried about was at idle, especially with it being an oil burner.....not one vibration was felt in the cabin.....nothing.....nada....niente.....the only way I can describe it was that it was as if the engine wasn't running.
Now I know the rubber one I tried was good (Even Rob will say it was good) especially over the APR I had on.....but this one has to be the best you will ever get!

I best get one now then carl, I have the original oem one fitted again at the moment , but think I will give this item at try now , and since you have given it such a rave review it should be fine for my " special edition" .....
and what a way to start a reply carl, that's a big old barge poll aswell, ouch...lol

You will not regret it Rob......and once fitted I can send you either a bigger or smaller barge pole for yourself as you will be amazed!

I've been meaning to do this for a while. After that review and after seeing a tear in it. It's made me wanna change it now...
Is there any way to know if it's the D shape or. Cylinder shape? With out having a look?

In all honesty I couldn't tell you.....you could always give Audi a ring and ask them the part number for the front snub mount with your VIN number.
I would also say that it probably is the D shaped one....but I could be wrong!

Am i right in thinking this isn't worth doing on the 3.2's? Something to do with already have an uprated mount?
I noticed that... I've got 3.0 tdi lump and that's heavier... did make me wonder.
Guess I'm going to have a look can you see it, With out taking anything off? Edit don't worry it should be the D shape one.

3.2 has the same part number as the one power flex says it replaces...

I'd take a punt as at worst it would be the same....but I'm sure it's the same/similar to the standard 2.0 one so would be an upgrade.
I took a punt on one as I have a yellow one on the Mrs' Focus and that's smooth and it's been on it for roughly 6 years.

Damn it, looks like I'm forking out again then haha.
I wonder with how the rubber had split though if it was causing any negative effects as where it had split shouldn't affect it really!

It was a round hole with a D shape in it Dani.....and that was the top of the mount so gets really abused under acceleration as the engine lifts up at the front.
Finally got mine fitted, could you also link me to which resistors you used cheersAll I know Dani is that they are 48 Cree LED with a Mirror Reflector and are 700 lumen from HERE but they weren't £12 I'm sure of it. And yes I put the resistors in under the Xenon bulbs whilst I had them open.
Here you go pal CLICKY HERE and you'll need two new DRL bulb holders from Audi or TPS so you can make them plug n play as the connector on the end of the resistors are awful.

Lot of work recently.
New rear window
Rear window tinted (somehow he hasn't matched it up and the rear is darker now)
New thermostat (temp gauge was on 1/4 for about 2 months)
Xenon headlights and knocked out the amber reflectors and just running them without any as couldn't source any clear ones.
Still need to do LED side/drl lights
Alloys back to silver
front bumper re spray
I get p0171 error every 200 miles or so garage replaced pcv valve for me and diverter valve but still comes back every now and again, after a bit of research it looks like its a vacuum leak but i dont have any loss of power or rough idle so not sure where it could be coming from has anyone else ever experienced this and managed to fix it?
