I've been having an absolute bitch of a time tracking down the left side engine mount for my RS2. Part number 8A0199382. Only Tradition has them in stock, and we all know that their website is ******ed. I found one in Italy, and the bloody thing got lost in transit—maddening!
What I have been able to find is the Febi Bilstein part, 07177. This is apparently equivalent to the engine mount for an RS2 without air conditioning. 8A0199382C.
My question is this: does airconditioning really make a difference? Is the mount for "without air conditioning" truly any different to the one for with air conditioning? I have this suspicion that they're probably exactly the same, especially when coming from an OEM supplier like Febi or Lemforder.
If I mix a right side "for air conditioning" mount with a left side "without air conditioning" will I have any issues?
Thanks!
