Default A7 Motor Mount Replacement

I have a 2014 At with 47,000 miles and the dealer says my right side motor mount is "torn" and needs replacement. Dealer cost to replace both motor mounts is $1200. It appears one can secure the needed parts for about $400 but I can't find any information on how to go about replacing the motor mounts. Does anyone have any experience doing this and if so, can you share insights on how big or difficult a job it is? Dealer shows four hours of shop time. Any links to DIY info or applicable service manual sections would be appreciated.

Price seems right. There is a write-up on Audizine. Do this search and it is the one from April 22, 2017 for A6 about passenger side mount. OP has full details. It won't let me post the link correctly from my phone.

I recently had my passenger side done and the quote was over $900 from a dealership. Mine was covered by warranty due to recent purchase and stare laws for inspection. No way could it be $52 in labor when garages charge at least $80 to $120 per hour.

OP, are you asking about the 3.0t or the TDI engine?

I had mine replaced under warranty on my 2015, My dad's 2012 A7 just had them replaced also for less that $800 at Audi Dealership.

I had a knocking sound when I went over speed bumps and potholes going slow.
