Snub Mount replacement DIY

[@402car_kid4]

Love how thorough you are with instructions!!! Thanks

[@jostnyc]

Another great video. doesn't matter how old it is this info is timeless! thanks again. made my snub mount install so much easier.

[@JeffBoen]

Just a few notes for posterity for anyone doing this in 2022+. The car Justin was working on didn't have fog lights installed. If you still have your fogs you'll want to disconnect them *before* dropping the bumper. I broke a fog bulb (luckily I had a spare) when the bumper came off with the fog still connected, so be careful. Oh, and if you still have your headlight washers connected you don't actually need to disco them (unless you're doing this on a very high lift). I had my car just about 18" off the ground and the bumper could be set off to the driver's side with all washer hoses still attached. Thanks again for the helpful step-by-step, Justin. It made swapping my snub mount much easier!

Hi. Great videos! I'm a kart mechanic, not a car mechanic, but I work on my b5 s4 all the time. Your explaining why you do certain jobs a certain way, and that makes all the difference! Again great videos.

[@MikeyCarter15]

Great walk through man. One of the most thorough I've seen on here for anything. Really well done and greatly appreciated!

[@evanfinch4987]

I'm about to tackle all of the forward drive train mounts (engine, snub, trans), and I just want to thank you ahead of time for your awesome videos, Justin. Thanks for taking the time to provide this resource for keeping these great cars on the road.

[@CarlRMauri]

EXCELLENT 10+ great how you sped up the process where appropriate. one of the best DIY I have seen. Thank you!

[@Syphious64]

I like how your videos are always thorough! And how you explain different ways to go about a job! Never be scared of the service position, Once you do it one time you can have your car in the service position in like 15 min. Easy peasy. Pretty much the same on this generation A6's as well with minor differences. I myself also never taken the headlights off, I just use a long enough extension to clear them. And you can just pop the sides of your bumper off by pulling firmly (Not rough or hard), Toward the ground and out. Should pop right off. Pops back in the reverse order and I think the left/drivers side might be popped in/out up or down don't remember completely off the top of my head. Heck I did my first timing belt job without removing the A/C lines or headlights, You just have to be much more careful with all that hardware and I wouldn't ever recommend doing it that way for a customer car. No A/C for me now though till I have the system flushed & refilled, Had to have the system emptied & remove the lines to do an engine swap after my rod bearings on the old motor got spit out into the oil pan.. Not a fun job to take on but im happy especially since I found out I had no snub mount!

Wow...what a great video on how to replace snub mount, I really enjoy the steps by step. If only this was a B7 S4 it would be more awesome, but I think it is similar procedure. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@remodz6385]

Great video. Thanks. Sweet lift also! I've been looking for a lift for the garage, that's a perfect size.

[@anpol170]

Guys, I just replaced mine in 10 minutes without taking it to service position. There is enough room to do it! 1) - take those 3 bolts out. 2) cut-out whatever left from the old one. 3) grease new mount (I had black rubber "mushroom") 4) Jack the engine a bit on the front and turn the bracket one hole down (side way compare to mounted position) 5) if you angle it right and push it fairly hard with grease it will snag in place. 6) mount bracket back in place. 7) enjoy your free 2 hours that you saved.

[@JeremyRemele]

Thank you for this. Trying this soon.

[@franciscosantos3609]

AnPol is it the same way for a 2006 A6 ?

[@patrickbernard5458]

Thanks bro! 6 years later it still saves people hours! Floor jack and a bunch of violence and it will come right on 💪💪

[@gmredstar]

Great DIY videos! Now if you could make one the next time you do a turbo swap I'd be super impressed.

[@MichaelCrazyLEDs]

I really like that small lift.. Good info

[@Mikuzony]

Your videos are really useful. Keep up the good work man.

[@matthewnesland1437]

Your videos are amazing man, thank you for making them!

[@cameronbushong2991]

1000% agree. You the man Justin.

[@auteck7504]

Nice video! I like your garage setup with the lift, very cool!

[@aaronlloyd7396]

Great video I'm about to change mine on my A4 B7, you have an awesome garage and another subscriber 👍🏻

[@titaniumman_22]

Great video...helped me out on the S4 B6. **Caution headphone users turning it up some to hear him and then a commercial busts in, ooooouuuuuch!

[@drowization]

Another great vid, but, was wondering what exact of car lift do you have and if you could do a short vid on it please ???? thank you good sir....

[@Ecarney_5]

I apologize for my inexperience but may I ask what the snub mounts purpose is? Is it just engine vibration elimination?

[@audib5guy11]

great video. . I'm doing my snub mount on my audi B5 soon this video will help me allot .

[@grahamhetland4253]

AWESOME video! Maybe the best DIY video I've ever seen. I'm subscribing. Thank you so much for this amazing resource!

[@lanceprzybyla7662]

I'm doing this now. 1 loosen both side motor mounts. 2 jack up engine using a piece of wood on jack. 3 remove old mount and retainer cup...I'm waiting on the new rubber mount...let's see how the install goes...🙃🙂

[@lanceprzybyla7662]

Got the new mount.... boil water and place mount in to make it flexible...clean and greece end it goes into...slip new mount over...grind the right top of mount holder... maneuver it and slide it up and in!! Done!!! No need to take the nose and other stuff off. Great day all

[@Suhail.Khan-24]

nice garage! how tall is you ceiling as i'm building mine

[@carlosirizarry4005]

awesome tutorial I just did the same job on my 2003 a6 in about 2 hrs great lead

[@GunfightersINC]

Great video, very well produced.

[@SweetWrapsGarage]

by any chance do you have a video how to do the trans mounts? i got 034 mounts and would like to know the right way to install them

[@johnlorimaglionelilawnandi8577]

Wow man thanks. Made it seem so easy. Great video!

[@EndOf_Reason]

What tire size are you running? Looks really good.

[@robertmcfall1412]

were the motor or trans mounts bad? love to see your DIY on that. Nice home shop.

[@victorborisoff6891]

why do you need to remove the subframe? Looks like support could have been removed with tox bit.

[@jaekim195]

hi thx for the video. It gives me the confidence to do it myself. I will go look tomorrow, but is the process similar to doing this on a b5 A4 fwd 1.8t.

[@jefflee7587]

+Jae Kim Also what size Torx bolts did you use during the repair?

[@nofrillsreviews9138]

dude all i needed to know was maxjax for my low ceiling garage thank you!

[@marklinton9315]

Hi thanks for u attention to detail so many people just dont get it.

[@ianlim6201]

Hi there Justin! I got a question about the core support. Does it affect interior vibration and sudden loudness in the engine noise (outside the engine sounds perfectly fine and usual) ? I recently skidded of a road and spun my B5 but I did not hit anything. Now the car interior panel and steering is vibrating at idle and the hood of the car is also rattling. It goes away at a little more RPM.

[@edwindominguez2548]

I changed the snub mount the tensioner pulley and the serpentine belt on mine in 30 mintues but good video

[@Redpepper917]

Dude... you do realise that the snub bracket and the housing can be unbolted and come down together right without removing anything else right?

[@larrywolfe4096]

would the procedure be the same for a 2003 audi a4 with a 3.oL v6

[@5050Design]

Can you do an oil pan gasket/oil cooler seal DIY? Thanks!

[@kennys501]

If you were going to do all this work to change a simple torque now. You might as well do the timing belt and water pump at the same time

[@TJR32100]

What brand/model impact wrench? thanks!

[@LordCornholio31]

Damn I just put a alternator in my 98 2.8 and the snub nose was torn and I didn't get a new I just put it back in (face palm my self) that's of stuff to take right back off

[@justinbmx22]

Michael Duncan I'm in same exact position. just replaced alternator and now I need this grrrrrrrrr

[@TheHoustonHustler]

what does the snub mount do?

[@JustinBallou01]

The snub mount is a hockey puck shaped piece of rubber. It fits over a protrusion at the front of the motor and fits into a cage mounted behind your radiator support. It assists in keeping the front of the motor from moving around too much under throttle load.

[@khaleelahmed1097]

where did you get your lift from?

[@JustinBallou01]

Costco online has them. You can also go to MaxJax website and find a dealer. Once in a while, Costco will have great prices on them.

[@khaleelahmed1097]

+Justin Ballou alright thanks for that and the reply

[@khaleelahmed1097]

+Justin Ballou how would you rate the maxjax 1 being really poor and 10 being really good

[@JustinBallou01]

There are a few things I dislike about it1. the auto locking, regular professional Lifts have these, this unit is just a metal bar you stick through a hole.2. the hydro connections could be of better quality.Otherwise I have been very happy with my purchase. It has done exactly what I need it to do.

[@khaleelahmed1097]

+Justin Ballou probably the best review I've seen nice one pal

[@ding0925]

This is do-able with out removing all this work....

[@Lawguy2009]

@Mike Corbett Did you figure out how to get it out without removing the bumper?

[@scotthsmith8635]

DW Red. You’re mistaken. On this model you Must put the bumper in service position. I have a 2007 A6 and Audi changed the motor bracket bolt location to the front of the motor. If you do not have this front bolt type then you are right. You can simply remove the Motor side bolted frame and remove.

[@norsevikingsir4932]

You don't have to do 90% of this
