So, it was blizzard conditions here in jersey the past couple of days, so today i decided to take my new b5 a4 quattro for a drive in the snow. I slipped into a snow covered ditch on the side of the road and tore my DTS off. It tore the bolt right off the mount.

So, my question is:

Is it ok to drive without it for the time being? And does anyone know where to find an oem replacement? Or should I just go aftermarket?

Thanks in advance!

IIRC the DTS mounts (both left and right) should still be bolted to the chassis of the vehicle in which case you are OK to drive (look under the car and check to make sure). The bar that bolts between the two mounts is designed to shear the bolts and leave the DTS mounts in place bolted to the chassis in case of such an accident. I hope that makes sense

Thanks! that makes sense. yeah it looks like they sheared right off.
