Audi A4 B8 Motor Mount Replacement A5 Q5 2009-2016

[@mobitechaz]

Nice video. On 2010 Audi A4 (FWD) both mounts can be removed at same time by lifting engine at oil pan. Only one mount on drivers side had electrical connector. We left the passenger side mount unplugged. Very straightforward procedure. Happy to consult if anyone has any questions. Engine Bar was not necessary but may be extra measure of safety. 2 jack stands and large 3 ton jack with rubber pad. Took 2.5 hours and 1/2 hr of that was altering the mount plug which was slightly different than that on the wiring harness.

Hi I have vibration at idle and slight knocking on/off power and some gear changes. My car has extended Audi warranty, however the dealer has said no errors are showing when checking mounts. I suspect they are still bad, but can’t issue a warranty claim unless the computer says so. Did your mounts flag up any errors or did they need to be removed before a bad mount was confirmed. My car is the B8.5 SQ5

[@miltonmagicgu1318]

What size is the triple square bit for the 2 smaller bolts that hold the mounting bracket onto the chassis?

[@rschneid1996]

I suggest checking the transmission mounts after completing the replacement of the engine mounts. Good video.

[@Joselopez-eo5br]

Thanks for the video I had a bad vibration in the car and that was the problem And your video made it easy for me Thanks again

[@ArchuletaAuto]

The hook is to support the cable that runs underneath. Pro tip: DO NOT DO ONE SIDE AT A TIME. Support with floor jack and remove both 18mm’s at the same time. Then you can raise motor higher without putting stress on either side. You’ll have more room making it much easier to r&r. Also on driver side first reach down behind the mount and take off that hook. It’s easy to do and makes it way easier to remove mounting plate and put back. I think it’s a 10mm nut.

[@Mnorbert25]

The best video I ever seen saved my life !

[@Artziiih]

Theres so much more room in here than i have in my A4 B8 3.0TDI engine bay. :D Got right side mount changed pretty easy (was totally ripped apart and made changing from 1 --> 2 mid corner impossible) Left side seems to be almost no room anywhere to swap that mount, unless you remove whole left driveshaft assembly out of way.

[@miltonmagicgu1318]

great video, very helpful. I love that the bracket bolts on yours just came off with ease, I had to drill out 3 of the 4 bolts because they were stripped, rusted, and round on the outside instead of hex so that you could get socket on it when the inside triple square strips. Terrible design and weak tin bracket. Glad I replaced them as the driver side was torn in half. Replaced the terrible stripped bolts and welded nut on the back end of the bracket with proper 11MM socket bolts with locking nuts on the back. No room to access the back of the bracket either. This is my first and last Audi lol. Sticking with Ford. thanks for the video help!

[@CarsandCoding]

Dang bro, you are the man! You got through it! Not sure fords are any better… we just bought a 2024 Maverick, time will tell…

[@miltonmagicgu1318]

@@CarsandCoding yes i replaced the pass side mount in January and oddly enough the old pass mount didnt have a wire connector so I couldnt plug the replacement into anything. I had to drill out 1 of those 2 bolts on that side. I just spent 6+ hours drilling out both bolts on the drivers side mount, replaced them with motor mount bolts from a 1977 Mustang II ;) and put a lock nut on the back and its perfect. Drivers mount was torn completely off and even the metal casing was breaking apart. engine and drive train no longer bangs and hesitates when stepping on gas. Service light on dash disappeared. I agree they all have thier issues, I have a 66 Mustang GT Fastback, doing a resto on a 77 Cobra II and I drive a 2016 GT Convertible so Im used to working on the domestics and they seem easier to access bolts etc. Good luck with the Maverick, they look really nice.

I have the A4 B8 with the 3.2fsi engine. I was able to swap the passenger side mount, but the bolts to the bracket on the driver side are completely covered. Even with those out, I don’t think I can wiggle the bracket and mount out.

[@cs_yt]

Nice how to, and I bought the jack, which works great with one design problem, the lip that hold the handle under the bolt is not big enough, so if I tight the bolt that holds it I can't twist the handle to lock/unlock the valve, if I don't when I try to pull the handle comes off. Very annoying. I'm going to put a bed of weld around it and grind to just about clearing, but I should not be fixing it. One might say talk with the manufacturer, but reading through the experiences and comments, I won't bother.

[@CarsandCoding]

Interesting, I havent had a problem with the handle, but I can see how it could happen. Thanks for watching!

[@EJR20]

So I had someone do my mounts, I’m now stranded because the bolt that goes thru the mount to the mount bracket is literally hanging off right now. Could this be a result of insufficient torquing?

Or maybe the bolt broke off from being over tightened. Too loose or too tight will do it. Should be fixable

Not sure, you can look it up on a parts site like rockauto.com or fcpeuro.com

I have the A4 3.2 and had no room to get the mount on the driver side. I think this is because the motor is larger in the frame.

How long do u anticipate the job to take?

[@CarsandCoding]

About 2 hours for the first side and 30 mins for second side once you know what you are doing. If you have done it before it would take 2 hours total just because of the time to jack the car up, get tools out, put together the support beam, and clean up. 30 mins per side actual wrenching and wiggling the mounts in and out.

Is the procedure the same for the 3.0 tfsi v6 engine? The components look the same.

[@schammo8893]

Hey Cory I just did the left on a A5 with the V6. You need to remove the oil cooler from block and let it dangle or tie it out of way with a zip tie (will be connected via coolant lines) so it is a bit messier with oil dripping. Then you need to do basically the same with the AC compressor, don't remove lines but 3 bolts need removing from block. Very tight squeeze then to get out mountand bracket. The right side looks easier though. I also dropped the sway bar but did it as was figuring it out dunno if you actually need to.

[@Lord_Dazzla]

was the car rattling over small bumps in the road and does this throw up a code on a code reader?

It does not throw a code unless its completely broken. Rattling over bumps in the road is a suspension problem. Most likely upper control arms and front struts. See my other video for that.

[@Wholistic1]

it's the same, to my knowledge. Electrically controlled hydraulic mount.

[@audia4addict950]

I think it's more simple with a jack below the engine rather than installing the cross member and less expensive because not everyone has the cross member and to equip it is expensive and what are the electrical plugs on the brackets for?

[@CarsandCoding]

You can do it with the jack underneath. I just was being fancy with the engine brace. The electrical plugs monitor the fluid in the mount and if the mount rubber completely breaks then the fluid comes out and triggers a fault code in the computer. Mine did not completely break so i did not have a fault. Some models have the plugs and some do not. If you do not need the plugs you can cut them off.

[@mydimeisup5103]

I wish the part hadn't been cut out of you installing the passenger side motor mount. I've been struggling over an hour just getting the damn new motor mount to slide in between the engine block and subframe. I've literally given up and am taking a break.

It was not any different than the passenger side except for the hook bracket for the power steering hose. Try jacking up the engine further, it will go in. You can do it! :)

[@mydimeisup5103]

@@CarsandCoding Yeah my engine support bar was getting pretty tight. I said fuck it and put the jack under the oil pan with a rubber puck and jacked the engine up 3 - 4 inches.

A few times it did over rew it self in gear. By saying over rew i mean - when i’m in 4-5 gear and press gas pedal it just rews and gives 0 power.
