Got the blues ! (UrQ upper strut mounts)

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Finally, I have a set of the correct "blue" upper strut mounts for my
Quattro. I found them at the dealership, for about 40$CAN each, which is
reasonable (if they last !)


For the archives, here are the measurements of the 3 types of mounts
that fits our cars :

- Black, 811 412 323C, for Type 81 cars, 38mm x 75mm, soft rubber. 

- Green, 8A0 412 323D, for Type 85 and Type 89, 36mm x 75mm, hard
rubber.

- Blue, 857 412 323B, for UrQ + rear of 4kQ/90Q, 34mm x 77mm, hard
rubber.  

As you can see, the blue mounts are a bit larger, which may explain why
they last longer (by being tighter in their pocket?). Also, the part
number stamped on them is 857 412 355A, which is unknown in ETKA, but
was what I found on the original parts that I removed from my car
(another mystery resolved...).
