Time belt change- engine knocking (mounts?)

[VtecJunkie]

Hi guys,

I recently bought an audi a3 tdi. It has just had a cambelt change done at the audi dealership. It's only done a few thousand miles since, but there is a knocking coming from the engine at low revs. It is getting progressively worse.. I think it may very well be a damaged nearside engine mount and I suspect Audi damaged this whilst jacking up the offside of the engine to change the timing belt- thus crushing the nearside engine mount.

Ofcourse, I suspect if i contact Audi they will refuse ackowledgement, but IMO it is quite obviously them who have caused it. What should i do, how much will and engine mount cost to replace and could a DIY mechanic like myself do it?

i would be very, very supprised if you could damage an engine mount in that way.
that's only my opinion,sorry can't help with costs etc.

THanks for the input mate- but after a little research on here and other forums it suggests it is very possible.. and i would go so far as to say common place. After searching on here i was suprised to see the number of people who had the exact problem after having their timing belt changed..
