You can get that top bolt for the starter from the top of the back of the engine…I did it the other day. Super easy to do it
I just follow your instruction to replaced my s5 starter at home just use the jack stand , you make a fantasic video for the DIY guys, you did a agreat job,. THANK YOU
Appreciate you thank you! Glad i can help! Good job!
great video you helped a bunch! Much appreciated!
Really appreciate thank you
I have been working as a mechanic all my life and I have worked on construction machines too and a lot of different types of vehicles and engines. I've never seen stupider engineering than German! That’s the bottom line in the auto industry.
You should see where the starter is located on the new Corvette Z06 😂
Why did you remove alternator. I see out there but I didn’t see you mention anything about removing it. Do you have to remove alternator. Currently have an a8 4.2 stuck in a parking lot.
Makes it way easier for access and it’s super easy removing it out of the way
@@jarvracing8452 yeah I just changed my starter last night the frame is completely different From 2011-2012 the frame is now connected to the 4 lower control arms, and rack n pinion. I was confused on how you got access to the starter by only removing the sway bar, alternator, and a mount.
I can’t get the top starter bolt out and it is starting to strip scared to keep going
How did you drop the subframe a little bit? I can’t get my motor mount out and it’s stuck right on the edge, if I could lower it a little then I’d be able to get it.
@@nickcarroll5739 if you have to lower the subframe put jack an 2x4 on the oil pan to support the engine when your lowering the subframe
@@nickcarroll5739 you should also be able to lift the engine a little too while the mount is off
@@jarvracing8452 ok thanks, did you have to remove a lot to drop it a little bit? Like other parts or bolts?
@@nickcarroll5739 you will see bigger subframe bolts I believe there are 3 a side. It’s been a little while but it is super easy to do
@@jarvracing8452 thank you bro 🙏🏼have a good night
Where does the cable at 30:16 go I’m getting power from that cable and I’ll looks like it grounds on the stud along with another cable
So if your getting 12v power to it that see if it attaches to the starter or the back of alternator
I’m talking about the black cable with the tag on it
I already have power cables connected to both the starter and alternator no room for this cable
@@SK8TERadii see if it’s a ground by taking a Volt meter in OHm settings. If so see if it attactches to the motor mount
I figured it out there was a rubber grommet that goes on the starter bolt that I forgot to put on the starter was touching the motor mount we’re the grounds bolt up that’s why I was getting power from that ground
Was there even a click upon any start attempt?
My car makes no sound at all beside the hissing of the fuel pump
Yes there was. Pulled starter out and starter smelled like ir was burnt
My car has 90k miles doesn’t click or anything when hitting the button. Even tried beating on the starter. I’ve checked the relays just odd there isn’t even a click or anything when hitting the button. Guy I bought it from let it sit and the battery died. Replaced battery and now won’t do nothing. I don’t wanna go wasting time pulling a starter if it’s not that lol
@@DonleyPerformance so easy way to tell if your getting anything is. Use a multimeter an check to see if there is 12v to the big gauge wire. If there is move on to the small gauge wire that is on the starter have 1 person in the car and have your multimeter on the small gauge wire. Have him try to start it an see if there is 12v that appear on that small gauge wire. If 12v do appear when the driver try’s to start it, than your getting ignition voltage to the starter solenoid. If your not than your have to work on diagnosing the ignition switch to that starter switch wire an see what the issue is that 12v is not being sent to the starter to close the solinoied. Also make sure the starter also has a good ground.
Same for the A4 with 3.2? 2009
Not 100 percent sure on that one!
How long would you guess this took
4-6 hrs roughly
What's the labor cost to replace this starter
Thousands and your wife yelling at you for being a dumb for buying an Audi.
It cost me around $2500 to do this. I sold the car shortly after lol
Per hour labor is variable. Audi Dealerships quote the hours on this anywhere from 20-25 hours.
@@onlydavid wow, that means it could be over $3000 to get one done
Where are you located?
I’m in Pennsylvania
Where in PA are you located?
Hey, I'm doing this as we speak, there's a wire that you mention is the power line for the alternator, I can't see where its supposed to go, looks like its coming from the engine somewhere and then there's another that comes from the loom along the framerail any help would be greatly appreciated.
@@jarvracing8452 hey. How much if I can get my car to you in p.a? Im in nyc and my starter is giving me no start, no crank and it smells burnt.
Was this a manual s5
Yes it is a manual
