great video, very informative! just a heads up though to anyone trying this, I did not drop the subframe bolts. had just enough clearance without.
Thanks for your time showing us this. I’m about to do mine later.👍
Many thanks! Needed some tips for my B8 Avant and I'll go out and give it another go now!
Very very clear video easy to watch, very straight to the point of problem,, well done,,thank you for sharing your knowledge
Great Video. I still don't understand why people give you thumbs down!!
this guy is great.....helped me successfully change my spring.....a big thumbs up for the straps idea......
Indeed. Oh boy the clearance is tight to get any tools in the wheel well!
Can’t tell you enough how much this helped me on the rear of my 2013 Audi S4!! Really appreciate it!
Thx! You helped we over here in Sweden tonight 👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant, Thanks for this, i changed my rear springs today, I used your method with the rachet straps, i had to use 3 though to hold it. And tie them on to hold the compressed spring. Many thanks
Hi' question why do u need to use a strat to compress the spring????
Many thanks for this, saved me a lot of time.
Thanks mate.
Very helpful.
Identical to the Audi 2010 A5 convertible.
Hey man! God bless you, you saved me a ton of time! Thank you!
Great safe Method... No cursing or pulling and dragging
Great video man it helped me get my coilovers in
Thank you my friend. Perfect for my A5.
Thanx for this very good explanations!
Thank you very much! It helped!
Great video thanks for doing it
great video.
Nice vid
Would this be pretty much the same process with the b8 s4?
Nice video before you installed the spring was the car low enough? Or not low at all?
Hello, on the rear of my b8 one of the subframe bolts rounded the head of is there any way I get this out? Nothing would budge it siezed solid. Is it possible just to leave it in place and what other approach could I take to fitting new springs without getting the subframe bolts loosened. One bolt beat me the one closest to rear bumper .. to the left if your facing inwards. Thanks
Would like to see how the straps hold the compressed spring.
Can you send me a link to where you bought the new spring?
✌️👍Bevor man anfängt zu Arbeiten sauber machen und auswaschen.
I performed this task today(B8 A4) & I would like to say thank you for the straps on the compressed spring idea. There is absolutely no room for spring compressors in that well. I doubted it but tried it. Life was much easier!
I did it with spring compressors you just lack experience
@@serbia991 what? 😄
@@jaykayem i just did this yesterday and used normal spring compressors there was enough room you just lack experience
@@serbia991 🤣 ok. That was 2years ago & a quick change. Thanks though
@@jaykayem clearly wasn't a quick change you could get compressors in there bud hope u havnt touched a car since
Anyone know what kind of straps they were
Can anyone recommend straps to tie the springs with.
Great video. I can't find the rear coils for my audi a4 2.0t quattro.sedan. non sport. Can anyone help ? It's driving me crazy. Can't find anywhere except for the stock which is twice the price. Thanks
This is very good, thanks! I took the bolts out of the sub frame. Once the straps were on the spring it was totally easy if you jack it up slowly with the spring in. I also want to note, compress the spring quite a bit and make sure your straps are double looped before you tie them. My straps were 18 inches or so each so there was plenty of material to make double loops and not single ones. Otherwise if you single loop it they tend to let the spring recover too much and you wont be able to get it in as the knot tightens it elongates the loop and you are done for then. His home made tool for compressing the spring is way better then the store bought ones.
Great video, not the easiest spring to change
have you replaced a rear diff on a 2012 A4 B8 Quattro - manual? If so, do you have a video ? Or perhaps some basics for the DIY mechanic ?
No experience of Quattro, imagine it is broadly the same, maybe check on www.audizine.com
Hi , can you tell me if there should be an inch and half difference in my old springs to new ones . Would they compress by an inch and half over 15 years
Most difficult part I found was getting the bloody anti-roll bar bolt back in( I don't have an impact gun)
Good video,im just wondering with the 1” threaded bar what did you use as ends to compress the spring
Does anybody have any ideas?
I think he made a mistake there as there's no way the threaded bar was 1". More like 1/2".
Apart from that small error, the video was very helpful indeed.
Looks like he used circular plates or very large penny washers as end plates to compress the spring.
You can buy decent spring compressors online for about £10.
Where did you buy your spring from?
Just the local motor parts shop
👍
Mine broke in the same spot
Great video. God knows how anyone can down vote you
Drop the two subframe bolts and it comes right out
I know right why do u have to leave one on???? And if its a lowered springs surely u dont need to compress the spring or use a strap???
Didn't show the straps or explain how to compress that part of it. Big MISSING PIECE, that was the most important part.
I think there is a good argument that if you struggle with that, you shouldn’t be be attempting this repair.
Hello! It is not necessary to compress the spring! Just remove the 2 bolts (one of them 3:04) and be careful, the whole part will goes down. And very important lift the car from both sides.
Thats not a great idea. Complete removal of these bolts should require that the subframe be realigned when reattached. The mechanic here avoided that by only loosening them. Its a good way to do it.
