Skoda Kodiaq Engine Mount: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

On the Kodiaq, a genuine false positive is worth ruling out first — a slipped exhaust mount can mimic engine mount vibration entirely, and it's a free fix once found.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — engine mount (aftermarket) Lemförder 3809401 / Corteco 49388316

Accuracy note: Covers the Skoda Kodiaq (2016-) 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.

Engine Mount — Rear (aftermarket)	Original Imperium 34215, Lemförder 3809401 (manual)
Engine Mount — Front (aftermarket)	Borsehung B18517, Corteco 49388316 (manual)
Engine Mount — Lower (aftermarket)	Lemförder 4397401 (manual), Vaico V10-7841
Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — mounts differ by engine and gearbox, so order the genuine ones against your VIN
Fitment notes	The listing above shows examples for the engines checked; petrol, diesel, manual and automatic versions often use different mounts, and cars usually have more than one mount.

A Genuine False Positive Worth Ruling Out First — Skoda Kodiaq Engine Mount

Before assuming worn engine mounts, it's genuinely worth checking a simpler, cheaper possibility: an exhaust system mount that's slipped or failed can produce a very similar vibration or rattling noise as the exhaust itself vibrates against the underbody or another component, rather than being properly secured and isolated. One documented case saw an owner's car returned from a dealer visit with exactly this diagnosis — a slipped exhaust mount rattling against something else — fixed with no charge, after vibration that felt exactly like an engine mount issue. It's a genuinely easy thing to overlook since the symptom (vibration through the cabin, particularly noticeable at certain RPMs) feels identical to a worn engine or gearbox mount.

A genuinely important distinction on DSG models: vibration, rattling, or juddering felt through the pedals or gear selector is sometimes actually the Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) wearing out, rather than the engine mounts — this is a separate, distinct component that absorbs engine vibration before it reaches the transmission, and it degrades independently of the mounts themselves. DMF replacement is a considerably bigger, more expensive job than an engine mount (commonly £500+ once labour is included, since it usually means removing the gearbox), so correctly distinguishing between the two before committing to a repair is genuinely worth a proper diagnosis rather than guessing.

Skoda Kodiaq 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 Kodiaq 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.
