AlfaBB Wizards - I am replacing my 1993 S4 (USA) motor mounts and ran into what appears to be an unusual situation. The existing passenger side motor mount on my car appears to be different than the new one I got from Centerline.
A photo below shows the original motor mount still in the car. All of the 13mm fasteners holding the mount, and the intake plenum cross bolt, have been removed. There remains a large (17mm?) fastener in place that passes through the motor mount flange into the block. It looks like this fastens a yolk support for the starter. The flange on the existing motor mount is different than the standard one I purchased. There is a photo below showing the new motor mount flange. Has anyone encountered this before? I am at an all stop. Any feedback appreciated.
