How to Replace Engine Mounts on a B7 Audi A4

[@Balomis]

It's actually a lot simpler than that, I did mine just this past fall. On the B6/7 platform, and maybe others, the front subframe position is actually how you align your wheels so I'd avoid removing those bolts unless you plan on getting an alignment. I loosed up my snub mount pocket, then undid the nut on the top & bottom of one mount. Lifted the engine with a hoist (could use a jack and a piece of wood from underneath) and pulled the mount out and inserted the new one. Lower the engine, tighten the nuts on the new mount, and loosen them on the other mount. Lift the engine again, remove the old mount, install the new one, and torque it all to spec. Took me less than 30 minutes to do the first time. The top nut on the passenger side (under the turbo) is tricky, but it is accessible from underneath and behind the mount. Also be careful not to lift the engine too high or you could hit the firewall and break stuff.

Thank you! Will attempt your method this weekend seems a lot more reasonable than what was done here

[@enwavs]

Hello there, are you confident on that method? That way engine has to be lifted at least 10 cm right? Seems risky to me as that way you're sort of "rotating" engine around longitudinal axis passing thru "other side" mount and transmission mount. Asking cause i am in due to replace mounts on my b6, was underneath it few days ago and figured i'll do it exactly as depicted in this video (before watching it, went on YT to get perhaps better idea). Yours sounds very tempting as in requiring fewer steps :)

[@eduardoangeles4412]

@@enwavs please let me know which method did you use. I'm probably going to do mines around spring/summer

[@bf2404]

HI. Did you use genuine or aftermarket Mounts?

[@GCS88]

coming back to this comment from last year when I read it. I was doing a head gasket today and while the head was off I did this, lifted the block with a jack and just slid the old mounts out and the new mounts in, I'm not sure how much space you have with the head you just need to maneuver the body a block a bit as mine tend to climb more to the left (facing the engine) it was easy peasy and I didnt have to realign the subframe like the way alot of people dont seem to do when they change the mounts from the bottom.

[@ebag77]

I was able to get at that top nut on the passenger side from the top with a stubby racheting box end. Barely enough room beside the turbo to get a couple fingers on it but it worked. Loosened subframe bolts without removing completely and lifted the engine slightly as opposed to dropping it to get the mounts out. Forgot to check the locating pin position on one side before I removed the old mount and had to guess where it goes. Still paranoid I got it wrong 6 months later.

[@OTRKINGREEMJABBAR]

Can you help with this in more detail

[@ReydioTube]

+1 on 13mm stubby ratcheting wrench saving the day 🔧

[@captronrv7]

A 13mm distributor wrench gets that right-hand upper engine mount nut without having to lower the engine. Even on the turbo model. Get that nut from the top side! I also found a deep socket with the exact outside diameter as the alignment hole that I used to go up thru the three layers of metal to hold everything in alignment while tightening those bolts. Remove the torque mount from the front of the engine before starting this. If your hydraulic mounts are shot, then it's a certainty that the torque rod doughnut needs replacing also.

[@donegal2010able]

Where are these alignment hole's this is the first I've heard of it.

[@mstar501]

It is advisable to use the VAG VAS 3393 alignment tool to align the two brackets.

[@KingZoneOne]

It would have been nice to see that locator nub orientation after the mounts were slipped in. There's more than one hole for it, and to see which it goes in correctly would be nice.

[@iboxp1486]

Nice Video. One question. On a 1.8T engine: the left and right mount, do they have the same Partnumber or are they Different type of mount? Thx

[@SerbanCMusca-ut8ny]

Very nice and professional! I would've sworn quite a lot more doing this ;)

[@jonasthemovie]

More professional would be to align the subframe with the correct dowels.

[@furious45]

Wow, that's something I'm never, ever going to ever do, whatsoever. Ever.

[@captronrv7]

It's actually not that big of a job; much easier than depicted here. Read my other comment on using a distributor wrench.

Salutare! Ce modul bluetooth se poate monta pe navigația asta? Sunt ceva module pe eBay cu doar 30€ dar văd ca sunt niște mufe mici față de cele ce sunt în spatele navigației .

Manual states removal of turbocharger for passenger side quote 5 hr of labor .. also u can use factory wheels lug wrench handle to insert in subframe bracket locator holes on the frame and bracket to line up subframe on install

[@SHWELL11]

Great Video, thanks for posting it.. I think I'll pay to have this done, that passenger side looks like a "3 Wrenches Thrown" Job to me! No Bueno!

[@jiujit49]

Can you make a video a talk about on that Turbo breather pipe versus pcv valve , it's very important for me

[@fadiadear7631]

Audi A 3 2007 auto 2lit D DT diesel engin mount, please send me the link. If I replace the fly wheel, do I have to replace the auto gear box and torque tube. As a woman, its very complicated dealing with mechanics

[@anonimo120797]

10:07 Do someone have a part code or something I can use to search that particular front mount?

[@ReydioTube]

13mm stubby ratcheting wrench is the key to the passenger side mount 🔧

[@jiujit49]

A lot of b7 stuff is so good ty!

[@dramchaser1022]

Aftermarket motor mounts or OEM? Regardless, it looks to be a pain in the @$$ for sure and I thought the MK7 GTI’s motor and transmission mounts were hard. 😅

Can you make a video on replacing or resealing the valve cover? I’m having oil leak in spark plug hole

[@jadenwentz6773]

There are a few videos others have made for replacing valve cover gaskets and these are very easy to do when you are careful

Help! I’m having this annoying noise with my Audi A6 c7 2.0 ... I have this wind noise coming from the front end while i drive at low speed. Help a brother out !

Bro you expect youtube to tell you whats going on lol... take it to a vw or audi shop.

Ivan Giraldo bro you’d be surprised! But I have a recall appointment in the next 2 weeks . The sound is annoying .

[@Ivan-hx7cc]

@@localurban3555 Lol get it checked out by someone that knows. don't ever take your audi to a cheap place.

[@MercedesMan]

check your pressure control valve. those are common to have to replace on 2.0t's. takes 15 minutes or less though. and makes a noticeable difference if it was already long overdue for replacement like it was for me.

[@localurban3555]

Can some one point me in the right direction for the 2 mounts on mine . Its a audi a4 b7 19 tdi 5 speed 56 plate thanks . They look the same as the ones in the video but not sure thanks

[@smkinrade]

Call the parts department at an Audi dealer and give them your VIN, they should be able to get you the correct part number.

[@scirockalot8v]

Re-using those bolts huh?

[@nickpappas4133]

They are to be replaced as the torque specs are torque to yield.

[@A4orce84]

First! Great job on the videos and content guys, topNotch!

[@manupamplona]

Yo los cambie a mi b6 y no desmonte nada de todo eso solo el soporte centrar y levantar con un gato ya salen

[@098cpt]

Passenger side is a fcker. I cut my 13mm to 1.5" long, so i can get the bolt off by the top. It will allow you to move the 13mm bit by bit and get the nut out. Same process to put it back, use lockthread since you wont be able to torque it like oem spec

[@mishu28]

You don't have to do the subframe. Just do the front mount and lift the engine a bit.

[@jonasthemovie]

This job should really be done one side at the time and/or using the subframe alignment pins.

[@jiujit49]

B7 b7 b7 yay! A lot of b7 stuff,ty

[@Arnel475]

What about sensor you dont have the sensor on yours new mounts what sbout sensors why you dont tell something how to change or its possible to install without sensor, WHY you didnt answer the question?

[@baloukafou2962]

[@innocentmaseko5111]

Mounting can cause engine rattling? 🙆‍♂️, a friend of mine has a rattling sound from the engine and we can't figure out where it's coming from.

[@fbekker1838]

One of the mounting has a sensor attached to it. On reolacing I was told that I can replace it with on without the sensor, as it would be half of the price. What is that sensor? I disconnected it and nothing happened. No warning light nothing. Will it be ok to replace it with the one without sensor?

[@fastboatster]

Don't really look much like b8 mounts. They do look somewhat similar in style to BMW engine mounts

[@jake-de8kp]

No alignment needed
