Accuracy note: Covers the Audi Q3 (F3 2018-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Engine mounts are sold by position (left, right, front, rear, upper, lower), and the right one depends on the engine, the gearbox (manual, automatic or dual-clutch) and the trim. The references below are examples from the UK aftermarket catalogue for the engines checked on this generation, so match your own engine code and gearbox before ordering; the carmaker's own numbers are not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine mount against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match.

Audi Q3 Engine Mount: What It Does

Engine mounts secure the engine and transmission to the chassis while absorbing vibration and movement, preventing that vibration from transferring directly into the cabin. Most versions of the Q3 use several mounts working together — typically at least one on each side of the engine plus a torque mount — and a single failed mount can throw off the whole assembly's balance.

A Genuinely Useful Piece of Context Worth Knowing About Engine Mount Faults — Audi Q3 Engine Mount

If you've recently had engine work done, this is genuinely worth knowing: documented cases on related Audi models describe engine mount bolts shearing off entirely while driving in the months following work that required removing a mount, with the theory being it wasn't properly resecured afterward.

A genuinely honest, real account worth knowing: a persistent clunk has, in documented cases, been traced not to a worn mount at all, but simply to a mounting bolt that had come loose, with re-tightening resolving it entirely at no cost.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that these mounts typically contain a silicone fluid that acts as a damper, and if this leaks out over time, the mount can eventually separate if left unaddressed.
