Default Motor Mounts

Changed out the motor mounts on my 08 turbo with my 11-year-old grandson. I had him pull the airbox and Y pipe so we could get to the top bolts. The hose clamps are not easy to get but he did it. He removed the bottom bolts after I loosened them a bit and he did the top bolts. After that the steps were reversed and everything was buttoned up. The motor mounts had sagged about .250" and we had to adjust the exhaust tips. Of course, we had to check our work with a spirited ride, but the car threw a code. Back in the garage and I realized that I didn't plug in the sensor on the Y pipe (which was my part of the job). After plugging in the sensor and clearing the code we got our ride. Of course, we had to do several full boost pulls to be sure all of the clamps were tight and everything was working as it should. There were smiles all around and I couldn't be a prouder grandfather. He said it was as much fun as being on his ipad.
