Replacing the lower engine mounts 2.0 TDI bkd a3 at home using jack

This is how I managed to replace the engine mounts on my Audi a3 Sportback 8pa 2.0 TDI, BKD engine code, DSG. I am not saying you should do the same. Unfortunately, if you are too brave and need the car the very next day, you might have no choice. If you want to buy these parts, and replace them by yourself, beware! It is so damn difficult to squeeze them inside that metal part. YOu will need a special press....or you can do as i did :D. Use the jack and the weight of the car. I tried with the hammer, ram the edges, use some rubber grease. Not a chance!!!! I gave up after I disturbed all my neighbors around. About one hour of hitting that with the hammer!!! This shit is rock solid! I quickly took the parts and had a run at the at the local garage. They were about to leave and they refused to help me. I needed the car for the next day to get to work. I was staring at the parts and I was so disappointed! I could not believe that I need to find a lift for the next day. Then I came up with the idea of using the jack and the weight of the car as a press!! "Screw the garage!!! I'm a genius" I said after I succeeded with the first part. :D As a result of replacing the mount: Smooth spinning when losing grip Less shaky when turning on or off the engine Less shaky when driving or idle Be careful when buying the parts. As you probably noticed there are two parts of this mount that are coming as a sandwich. They look similar but they are NOT. One of them has a simple hole inside and the other has a hole with a thread inside. Replace them one by one it is easy to maintain the position but is more difficult when you need to cut the second one.

THIS IS NOT MY JOB AND I DON'T CLAIM TO BE PROFESSIONAL. GARAGES IN UK ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE AND MOST OF THEM DO POOR LABOR. EVERY TIME THEY WASTE MANY DAYS FOR A SIMPLE JOB AND AS MANY PEOPLE IN UK, I AM RELYING ON THE CAR. THE PURPOSE OF THE VIDEO IS PURELY INFORMATIONAL. I AM JUST SHARING MY EXPERIENCE SO OTHERS CAN HAVE AN IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE TAKING A DECISION TO REPAIR IT AT HOME. FOR THOSE CONCERNING ABOUT MY SAFETY, THANKS! I BOUGHT TWO AXLE STANDS IN THE MEANWHILE!
