How come you've got 4 top mounts Mike??

Word of caution when you put the RS3 vents on...don't put it on full lock while its on axel stands. trolley jack or in fact just in the air, I was doing something last week and noticed a cracking sound and when I looked the passenger side vent has a piece missing from the top of it :sad1: found it on the floor so will glue it back on or buy another.

The mounts won't feel too hard as the A3 Cab comes with these from factory.

I only know all TTs run them and RS3 + I guess current Leon Cupra + FR.
(so there might a chance you already got them)
The A3 Cabriolet is the only non sports oriented variant that comes with
these mounts.

8J0 412 331 does cross refer from RS3 to Leon but not sure which models exactly!

Milltek tbe, Forge intercooler, AMD map, Eibach Sportlines, Porsche 996 over AMG 330mm homegrown BBK
