When this mount or the bushing it attaches to are worn out you will notice significantly more vibration under heavy acceleration. It is necessary to inspect all motor mounts to be sure that there aren't other worn parts. In the Audi VW/World, this type of engine mount is what's known as a "Dogbone" Mount. The nickname "Dogbone" comes from the the shape of the engine mount assembly. Really it's an engine mount, specifically a Pendulum Mount, which restricts and absorbs torque transfer created by transverse mounted engines under acceleration. It also reduces the pendulum effect on the upper gearbox and engine mounts. Without this mount, the engine and gearbox would be subject to a considerable amount of play.
