Improve drivetrain location on your Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 8L MK1 2WD with the Heritage Series Front Engine Mount Dog Bone Petrol/Tuned Diesel from Powerflex. Developed for the listed application, this polyurethane component is designed to reduce excess movement at the relevant mounting point and provide a more consistent connection between the drivetrain and chassis.
IMPORTANT – CHECK FITMENT BEFORE ORDERING
Powerflex applications can vary by chassis, model year, factory option, bush location and component size. Please match the listed vehicle details and Powerflex part number PFF85-420H to your vehicle before ordering. If your vehicle uses a size-specific bush, measure the original component or anti-roll bar where applicable.
Product Overview＋
Made in our Grey 70A material, PFF85-420 is intended for petrol or tuned diesel vehicles. For significantly tuned petrol or diesel vehicles, or those being used on track, please use PFF85-420BLK. A small increase in NVH, usually at idle, should be expected when stiffening the connecting mounting between the engine/transmission and chassis. The harder the material used, the greater the NVH transmitted. Please have a look at this quick guide on how to fit PFF85-420 and associated part PFF85-505

Frequently Asked Questions＋
Q: Will this fit my Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 8L MK1 2WD?
A: This listing is specified for Audi A3 S3 RS3 8L MK1 2WD 96-03. Always confirm the chassis, variant, component size where relevant, and Powerflex part number PFF85-420H before ordering.
Q: Why choose polyurethane instead of replacing the original rubber bush?
A: Polyurethane is commonly chosen to reduce unwanted compliance and provide a durable replacement at wear-prone mounting points, while the exact change in feel depends on the bush location and vehicle.
Q: Will fitting this change noise, vibration or ride quality?
A: It can. Any reduction in bush compliance may transmit more feedback through the chassis. The effect depends on the product, its mounting position and the Powerflex range used.
Q: Is professional installation recommended?
A: Yes where the job requires pressing, cutting, lowering a subframe/drivetrain component, alignment work or specialist tools. Correct installation is important for bush life and vehicle performance.
Q: How can I confirm I am ordering the correct part?
A: Match your vehicle, chassis and any size-specific information to the listing, then verify the Powerflex reference PFF85-420H. DC Prestige can also help check fitment before ordering.
