Problem overview

Some Audi A5 Quattro owners report experiencing engine mount leakage, which is a common issue among Audi vehicles, particularly larger models. While not all failed motor mounts result in a leak, some owners may find that the metal part connecting to the engine can detach without oil leakage. Although leaking engine mounts may not immediately affect safety or drivability, they can lead to increased vibration and harshness at idle over time. As the leaking mount drains, noticeable symptoms like heightened vibration may become apparent. Additionally, replacing leaking engine mounts can be expensive, with costs ranging from $1,267 to $3,000 depending on the model and labor. The damping fluid in Audi engine mounts can leak over time, ultimately affecting vibration absorption. Addressing this issue promptly is advisable to prevent further complications and maintain vehicle performance.
