How do I change all engine mounts on my 1997 Audi A4 2.6

 

Put the car on jack stands or ramps.
Put a jack stand (or better yet - 2) under the oil pan. Best to put a 2x4 across first.
Drop the sway bar.
Take down the bracket.
Take down the mount (you'll need a shorty wrench to get up in there and get the top bolt).
Reverse to re-assemble.


There's a million videos. This was probably the best for me.

 

The top nut on mount nearest the air box is MUCH easier to reach with the air box removed, which should only take a few minutes once you've done it a time or two. Even just removing the air cleaner so the ratchet handle can extend into the air box may be enough to make the job much easier. Use a 13mm U-joint socket here. Remember to let the engine idle with the mount nuts loose before final tightening.
