Join Date: Jun 2018 Posts: 8 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts I have a C7 2012 A6. The motor mounts are going bad. I have looked through the procedure and it looks pretty straightforward and a good job to do to save $1000 or so. But I have a couple of questions. First, is it necessary to drop the oil cooler as the procedure indicates or can you do it without doing that? Not that big a deal but it makes it more of a pain having to catch the oil and replace the gasket. I'd rather not dump the oil if I don't need to. I just had a service interval done which included the oil change so a change isn't due. Second, the procedure indicates that the retaining plates should be replaced along with the mounts. Those are around $30 each and it doesn't seem like a part that would need replacement. If you've done it, did you replace those? Third, the left coolant hose only needs to be moved out of the way, correct? The coolant doesn't have to be dumped does it? And Fourth, I see people have jacked the engine from below. I worry about damaging the oil pan doing that. The procedure calls for using an engine support bridge and threaded spindles to raise it the required 20mm. Couldn't you just use an engine hoist with a load leveler hooked to the 2 lifting eyes? Thank you, Scott AudiWorld Super User

I am right at 100,000 now but it has been a while since they started vibrating. The dealer wants $1400 or so to replace them but I can buy the 2 mounts for about $400 to $450. The dealer said I have a long time before it starts damaging other things so at this point it is just annoying. It used to be so smooth and quiet and now it is noisy and rough from idle up.

But my indy shop just told me that one of them is allowing more play than it should. The car always had a little bit of rumble in it. I was told its because of the 3.0. I have the extended warranty but I think I may just pay for my indy shop to play around with it for a day and see what they find AudiWorld Member

Join Date: Apr 2016 Location: DC Posts: 146 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Is it worth replacing engine mounts?The vibration generated from worn engine mounts can have a noticeable impact on other vehicle components, such as fan belts or radiator hoses, leading to stretching or snapping. So, replacing worn engine mounts is vital to the overall health of your machine.
How long do Audi engine mounts last?Engine mounts are pretty robust and usually last for 5-7 years before they wear off. But regular checks and inspections are always a good idea.
How many engine mounts does a Audi have?The A4 engines use three mounts. The two side mounts are large, rubber and metal parts that use a single, central bolt to connect the engine to the chassis. The third mount is a rubber bumper that attaches to a boss on the bottom of the radiator support panel.
How expensive is it to replace engine mounts?Replacing a motor mount will cost anywhere from $200 to $600, depending on how difficult it would be for a mechanic to access your engine. If your motor mounts are beginning to fail, there are some signs you should watch out for: Bouncing or moving engine. Engine vibrations, especially felt on the passenger's side.
