[Vwdiesel] A4 engine mounts

[Tony and Lillie]

I dealt with this several times in teh shop, it will also happen to the 
transmission mount. I can't say that I remember what we did to fix them. but 
I can say I wish I weren't three hours away, I'd be over after work 
tomorrow..................................:(
