Starter motor change (B7 RS4)

[B7RS4]

Evening everyone, Starter solenoid went so decided to change myself.

If anyone is tempted to give this a go here are some tips.

Make sure you have tools and axle stands or its a tough job. I couldn't get it out without taking the engine mount. Some good videos on YouTube. The hardest part is one of the Allen bolts from the top engine mount that is obscured by the exhaust. The other top one is accessible with lots of extensions and a Wobblies.

 

Looking for a part number for the stretch bolts (x3 18m main bolts) Any help would be apreciated.

Well done for tackling it yourself. Does your local motor factors not carry the bolt size in stock?
