Hi Steve.
I can't say I have ever seen any hydramount with any coloured spots on? I do know that recently the lower engine mount being sold have added spots due to the diesel mount being made in the same mould as the 1.8 mount, reason given the original mould got damage so spots have been added to know the difference, personally I think that system is open to abuse.

Therefore if coloured spots are on original hydramounts I have yet to see one, do you have a link anywhere to this reference please, because if that is the case I would doubt the one above I gave link to being a diesel hydramount for sure.? we have to trust these seller don't we really cheers Arctic.
