Who carried out the work and more importantly, do they have a history of working on the C5 RS6?

Shop, are the mounts vacuum controlled as I know my 535d ones were?

No, no vacuum to the mounts.

Well that's a strange one,

When i checked the logs before, I also cleared the fault, started and drove it for about 10mins, no error, checked codes, only one was the engine mount,

So drove home 20 miles, and gave it the full beans, everything seems fine, got back, checked and still no error messages?

I'm still getting the garage to check over their work tomorrow

So who carried out the work?

If you have VCDS then you can log the timing to see what's going on.

company is called Marlow VW, they have worked on RS6's before, and seem a good bunch,

Well the issue turns out the n75 valve shat itself, so ordered a replacement and will get it changed.

Got my New 034 Motorsport street engine mounts in, was going to do it myself but heard it's a proper bitch of a job so i'll just hand it over to the garage.
