Anchor 300626 Engine Mount Kit

Engine Mount Kit for Audi A4 and Passat

Anchor 300626 is an engine mount kit built for specific Audi and Volkswagen applications that need controlled engine support and vibration isolation. It is engineered to OEM standards and matches the fitment requirements for 1997-2001 Audi A4, 1997-2001 Audi A4 Quattro, and 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat applications listed below.

Key Features

• Engine mount kit for front engine and transmission mounting points
• Fits 1997-2001 Audi A4 and Audi A4 Quattro
• Fits 1998-2001 Volkswagen Passat, old style
• Fits 2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat, new style, automatic transmission
• OEM-standard design using CAD/CAM engineering methods
• Natural and Styrene Butadiene rubber construction for abrasion resistance and aging stability
• Chemlock bonding agent for a durable rubber-to-metal bond
• Rubber hardness matched to vehicle application requirements
• Hydraulic mount design used where OE application calls for added vibration control

Detailed Description

Anchor 300626 is an engine mount kit for Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, and Volkswagen Passat models that require replacement of the engine and transmission mounting system. The kit is designed to support the engine assembly while reducing vibration transfer into the chassis, helping maintain smoother operation and more stable drivetrain positioning. Anchor 300626 follows OEM-style engineering practices and uses application-specific rubber durometer, hardened steel fasteners where supplied, and hydraulic mount technology where the original design calls for it.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excess engine vibration felt in the cabin
• Clunking or shifting during acceleration and deceleration
• Worn rubber mounts that no longer isolate drivetrain movement
• Engine movement caused by deteriorated mounting points
• Noisy operation from failed hydraulic-style mounts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle style before ordering, especially on 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat applications, since fitment includes both old style and new style configurations. Confirm automatic transmission application where noted for the 2001-2005 Passat listing. Compare the original mounts to the part listing and inspect adjacent brackets, bushings, and fasteners for wear before installation. Professional installation is recommended because engine mount replacement requires proper support of the drivetrain during service.

Quality Assurance

Anchor designs this engine mount kit to OEM standards using CAD/CAM engineering processes and application-specific rubber compounds for consistent fit and performance. The rubber-to-metal bond uses Chemlock bonding technology, and hydraulic mount designs are used where OE specifications require additional vibration damping.
