Audi A5 Coupe Engine Mount: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

On the A5, engine mount bolts have genuinely been documented shearing off entirely on related models after engine work that required removing the mount.

Generation covered: this guide is for the second-generation A5 Coupe (F5 platform, 2016–2024) — the two-door coupe discontinued when Audi renamed the A4 saloon to A5 in 2024. These are entirely different cars despite sharing a name; if your car is a four-door saloon or estate bought new since 2024, this guide does not apply to it. Check your logbook or VIN if you're unsure which car you have.

OEM Part Number: 8R0199381AL

Genuinely important to know: engine mount rubber composition and stiffness on the A5 Coupe is tuned to the exact engine and power output fitted — a mount that looks identical but is rated for a lower-power version of the same engine can transmit more vibration than the correct part.

B8/B8.5 (2012-2017), 2.0 TFSI, manual transmission, right engine mount	Audi OEM: 8R0199381AL
Automatic (S tronic) variants	A genuinely different mount specification applies given the different weight and mounting points of the automatic transmission — confirm your exact gearbox type before ordering
S5/RS5 (six-cylinder)	A genuinely different, typically heavier-duty mount specification applies given the six-cylinder engine's greater weight and different vibration characteristics compared with the four-cylinder TFSI/TDI

Engine mount specification varies between the four-cylinder TFSI/TDI and six-cylinder S5/RS5 given their different weights and vibration characteristics. As with most cars, several separate mounts (main engine mount, transmission mount, and torque strut) are fitted, each with its own part number.

Audi A5 Coupe Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the A5 Coupe use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.

A Genuinely Useful Piece of Context Worth Knowing About Engine Mount Faults — Audi A5 Coupe Engine Mount

If you've recently had engine work done, this is genuinely worth knowing: documented cases on related Audi models describe engine mount bolts shearing off entirely while driving in the months following work that required removing a mount, with the theory being it wasn't properly resecured afterward.

A genuinely honest, real account worth knowing: a persistent clunk has, in documented cases, been traced not to a worn mount at all, but simply to a mounting bolt that had come loose, with re-tightening resolving it entirely at no cost.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that these mounts typically contain a silicone fluid that acts as a damper, and if this leaks out over time, the mount can eventually separate if left unaddressed.
