Magneto rheological (MR) fluid has some pretty amazing properties. It can change from a low-viscosity liquid to a very stiff, nearly solid substance in milliseconds with the mere application of a magnetic field. Now that technology is heading from shock absorbers to engine mounts, and the first car to get the new mounts is the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3.
Wow, out of all the VW horrors I’ve dealt with first hand this is my 4th encounter with this issue. Not your fault, the pan hangs too low when the engine mounts start to wear, rot, or breaks altogether. Sorry for your car broha, wish this was a well known problem so they can pay up for such a exspensive motor. Hopefully all you will need is a gasket and pan.
I did a full rebuild of a B5 A4 and got the Meyle engine/tranny mounts. All went well until I got to the point of fastening everything down. One of the bolt holes in the right tranny mount just didn't take - If I remember correctly it stripped just while I was threading it in with a socket wrench.
I've now broken two factory engine mounts on the wife's Mazda 3 2.3. Both of these were on the transmission side (driver's side). They're a notoriously crappy part (thanks Ford)
