Thank you for this video Dave - very helpful. I been quoted £946 at Audi to replace both rear lower coil mounts due to corrosion - MOT advisory. Same 2016 B9 Avant but mine is Sport Ultra. 115k miles and I use the tow bar for the bike rack. Am very surprised the aluminium is not treated inside that rubber to prevent the shocking amount of corrosion.
I wouldn’t change or torque that shock bolt either Dave. But I have only recently bought a spring squeezer on your recommendation,brilliant time saver. But I didn’t use it in conjunction with the portapower yet. Everyday is a school day, nice one Dave 👍
B9 looks easier than B8 which is an utter pain. These Audi rear spring seats aren’t fit for purpose. As you’ve mentioned, the aluminium insert is exposed to the elements when the rubber deteriorates.
@@999valeri Same spring on both sides 👍🏻 I also changed the dampers when I first did this job. Hard to say if it was needed, but anyways it rides much better now.

Hi Dave. I have had the same issue with my S4 Saloon B9. Where do i get the mountings from?
Could this be causing a knocking noise?
I need to change one of the rear springs on my B9. Should I change both rear springs at the same time or will I be okay with only the broken one?
I have the Same Problem (;
I think ITS better top Change both.
@@999valeriYes, I did both. It rides much better now.
Nice good Job. I have to do it this week now ;/ did you bought simular new parts for both Sides or are they different in left/right Side?

@@sebrura yea OK i dont think that i Change the dampers ^^ and the upper and down part where the spring is INSIDE is also the Same in both Sides?
Why would a spring brake at so little miles and not even towing ??
Pot holes
Cause basic products and materials are crap these days. Seen these snap after 4 years
