Default New snub installed

I am impressed with the Greedspeed snub. It made the shifts a lot smoother. I can feel it as soon as I hit the gas now instead of the gradual accelleration before. I still have a tad of a clunk but I will look at the rest of the mounts tomorrow. This was what was in there before so obviously it was do to be replaced.
Easy install by myself in the garage and about an hours worth of work.

A4steve, did you use a writeup for this? if so which one? I want to do this myself, but i've heard everyone just say do it with the timing belt job. But my next timing belt job isnt for another 30K miles lol.

Basically use the timing belt write up as your guide. Not sure on your car but if you were going to put a fmic on then that would be a great time to do it. Other wise you will be spend a lot of time to take the front off your car for 10min of actuall repair/replacement.

I put the APR snub on my B6 and it took like 15 minutes. Hardest part was getting the new one on! I suggest using a little engine oil as a lubricant.

An easy mod and one that makes an instant difference. If all you're after is a writeup just look at the APR instructions:

I used this write up http://goapr.com/Audi/support/snub_mount.pdf
It only took about an hour to do. You don't have to remove the washer fluid hose, just swing the bumper out of the way. When I was ready to put the new one on I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds to heat it up and then I just pushed it on the snub. I also used a little motor oil to lube it up and it popped right on.
