Attention! This video contains mistakes: 7:31 - the tightening torque is 70 Nm + 90°, not 105 Nm. 7:54 - the tightening torque is 60 Nm, not 55 Nm. 8:08 - the tightening torque is 65 Nm, not 60 Nm. 9:05 - the tightening torque is 15 Nm + 90°, not 30 Nm. 9:38 - the tightening torque is 70 Nm + 90°, not 80 Nm. We're sorry for the inconvenience 🙇‍♂

@kennylarson7922 11 месяцев назад

Your torque specs for the axle bolt are wrong! Should be 200nm + 180 degrees!

@subbernh5192 2 дня назад

@@kennylarson7922depends on which bolt is used. 200Nm + 180 is the hex head w/smoothe washer; 70Nm+90 is the 12pt head w/knurled flange

@djr3485 4 года назад

The service manual says not to undo the CV axle nut more than 90 degrees (1:33) with the weight of the vehicle on the wheel bearing as it can cause damage.

You forgot to tighten the three strut top mounting bolts - 15Nm + 90°. The driveshaft to hub bolt could be one of two types - ribbed inner face 70 Nm + 90°, smooth inner face 200 Nm + 180° These figures are from the VW Golf Mk6 workshop manual, but you must confirm the correct torque values for your vehicle before commencing this task. It's unacceptable that you omit key steps and essential torque data

What's the total real world time to replace one front strut?

@autodocuk 4 года назад

Thank you for your feedback! It all depends on the technical condition of the car parts' joint connection but on average it takes 1-1: 30 to replace the one side. Best regards, Autodoc.

@mrodriguez9544 4 года назад

@@autodocuk thanks for your reply. Appreciate it!

@dopiaza2006 4 года назад

If doing it for the first time and without a lift then put aside a day to do both sides. The roll bar droplink top nut will not come off easily and you'll strip out the 12 point hole in the bolt. The bottom three nuts - one or more of the bolts may snap requiring a new ball joint. The strut spreader tool may not spread the strut wide enough so you need to bodge it with a metal shim. The top three bolts - clean them well underneath first or they may seize and break off the captive nuts in the top mount. The drive shaft may be seized into the hub and require puller to remove. Apart from that it's just like the video shows!

@subbernh5192 2 дня назад

Don't see anywhere mentioned that whenever you have a spec that adds an angle after the torque value, the fitting is str etched and needs to be replaced. Thay's per Erwin manual

Hi there! My 2013 Golf 2.0 tdi has 170 k km: should I change the struts now or wait a little bit? I recently noticed a slight increase in the bodyroll while taking a curve at medium/high speed.

@autodocuk 4 года назад

Thank you for the feedback! Unfortunately, without proper inspection it is difficult to say whether any replacements should be done in your car, but if you feel a malfunction in the suspension, then the replacement of the worn components should be done. Stay tuned with us! Best regards, Autodoc team!

This is exactly what I will be doing today, Thank you because I have to go buy that 12 point socket before I start and have no way to get to the store

@bowlofscabs1 2 года назад

A 12 point 15/16 will work and is actually more snug but still fits. The thing can be a bugger.

@subbernh5192 2 дня назад

I think that the newer models use the 12pt. My 2006 had the hex head with the smoothe washer that needed a mighty breaker. That suckers torqued 200Nm + 180deg

What kind of black Ratchet wrench do you use? i like it haha.

@autodocuk 4 года назад

Thank you for your comment. We used a special head to dismantle the shock absorber, however, in the absence of such a tool, you can use a conventional mount. Best Regards, Autodoc team.

@derfstang480 3 года назад

The black ratchet is a made of a composite non metal material for the body and head and is much lighter than traditional ratchets. The internal gears and the socket drive are traditional metal designs.

In the video, the brake disc was not replaced, only traces of wear of the disc used were visible.

@GrahamWatts1984 4 года назад

80nm for the axle bolt doesn't seem correct (under-tightened). Also, aren't you supposed to replace these bolts every time?

@djr3485 4 года назад

There are potentially two types of drive shaft bolts used - they are distinguished by ribbing or the absence of such on the contact face under the 12 point head. The 12 point with ribbing is 70 NM + 90 degrees and the bolt without ribbing is 200 NM + 180 degrees. You are correct, VW calls for this bolt to be replaced and not reused. The loosening and tightening sequence in the video appears to be incorrectly performed. It is supposed to be done without weight on the wheel bearing.

@AlienCatcher23 2 года назад

I’m having a very hard time at the 7:00 minute mark. Putting the new strut back in the nuckle seems impossible, especially when trying to line everything up for the lower control arm also. Anyone have any ideas?

You can make a tool that will do the same job without spending a lot of money on something you may not use again. A bolt or allen key can be ground down to a similar oval shape as the factory tool and costs next to nothing.
