OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — engine mount (aftermarket) Febi 22762 / Corteco 80001310

Accuracy note: Covers the Volkswagen Sharan (7N 2010-) 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 — Upper (aftermarket)	Tedgum 00728393, Original Imperium 32424
Engine Mount — Lower (aftermarket)	Tedgum 00728427, Febi 22762
Engine Mount — Rear (aftermarket)	Febest VWAB-034, Corteco 80001310
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 Test That Separates a Worn Mount From an Expensive DSG Fault — Volkswagen Sharan Engine Mount

If you're hearing a clunk or jolt on DSG-equipped models, particularly on gear changes or when shifting between drive and reverse, it's genuinely worth confirming whether this is a worn engine mount (specifically the "dogbone" torque mount, cheap to replace) before assuming a much more expensive DSG mechatronics fault. A simple, well-corroborated self-test: on level ground, come to a complete stop, then switch from drive into reverse (or vice versa) and pull away gently. A pronounced clunk or jolt specifically at this moment of engaging the opposite direction points strongly toward a worn torque mount rather than the gearbox itself — the engine has slightly more room to rock against a worn mount before the drivetrain engages smoothly in the new direction.

Worth knowing before assuming the worst: some clunkiness during gear changes, especially shifting down to 1st or 2nd at low speed, is a widely acknowledged, inherent characteristic of the DSG design (which uses clutch packs rather than a torque converter) rather than always indicating a fault — a "DSG adaptation" reset via VCDS or a dealer visit is a well-regarded, genuinely low-cost first step that resolves this for many owners before assuming a mechanical problem exists at all. A gear selector display that flashes, or a sudden, dramatic loss of drive, are the genuine signs of a mechatronics fault worth taking seriously — ordinary clunkiness alone usually isn't.

Volkswagen Sharan 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 Sharan 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.
