In this video we show how to install a transmission mount on a Audi 8V A3. This DIY will be the same for a 8V S3, MK7 GTI, and MK7 Golf R, which are MQB chassis cars. The install process is fairly simple, but requires the removal of the intake, battery, battery tray, ECU, and movement of the wiring loom below. During installation, all transmission mount bolts must be replaced because they are stretch to yield. Our ECS Tuning mounts include new stretch bolts, which should be torqued as specified in the video.

Designed and manufactured in the USA using the finest quality materials, we have designed a Performance Transmission Mount that controls fore/aft engine & transmission movement and allows for seamless power transfer to the tires. Wheel hop is eliminated, throttle response is improved and gear engagement is more precise.

Do you have any tips for people with the ECM that has the steel cage? I was able to get to the bolts without removing the ECM but it wasn’t pretty… wondering if there’s a better way.

Thanks for the advice!

Couldn't ECU being moved aside (after unscrewing)?… was no need to remove connectors.

"Find a flat spot under the engine" I guess that would not include the plastic oil pan. 😉

Is it safe to disconnect the battery without a memory saver?

is this only for manual trans or does this work with the DSG transmission? about to be getting in to an 18 GTI with the DSG and was curious if it works on it. Thanks!

Are these stretch bolts or can they be reused?

Will this fit a 2013 Beetle 2.0T Gen3?

Do you guys get back to your customers you sent the wrong parts? That would be nice before I let all your customers know.
