At 5:27 there are some lines on the passenger side. What lines are those? In frustration, I took the lines out and now I cannot put them back in. Does anyone know how to reinstall those lines on the passenger side wheel well or what they are called?
No one ever posts videos on how hard it is to get the other type of cv axles out, where they don't bolt to the transmission; they pop in/out. I had to use a slide hammer and vise grips to get them out.
I got stuck in the ditch once with my mk7 GTI. I was eventually pulled out but the mud in the wheels caused a lot of vibration. I cleaned all the mud off the wheels but it’s still vibrating! Any advice? Could it be bad axles?
What light is that you are using? The one with a magnet on the brake rotor.
Dear DAP, maybe you know how to solve the problem with vibrations on Golf GTD 2018 (dsg 7) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUkARN1Rivo
You couldn't have posted this at a better time. Did the front axle on my B8 S4 this morning and this was super helpful!
Great job, kind off dificult , great video, greetings from México
Love the video but would love for u to point out certain things lile the nylon nuts used on some of the suspension parts are one time use just like the stretch bolts an also u have to replace the axle nut at the same time
U or i either got some crooked ears, bent glasses or we're having a stroke, because your image for the video looks like one of those.
twist the tip as hes pulling out?
Pinch bolts suck they love to freeze. Ive snapped the head off one before. So now i just remove the lower ball joint and have plenty of room to work. Ive done it a handful of times and ive never needed an alignment on anybodys car.
I love you guys lol. I might break the car so I can have y'all fix it
If you are doing this on a car you actually care about and plan to keep long term I strongly suggest getting upgraded axles from Raxles. Little expensive but they make great products for VW Audi.
Man, I wish the A4-chassis VWs had sealed bearings and axle bolts instead of axle nuts that require Incredible Hulk levels of torque in a special sequence, and were removable without undoing the ball joints.
These CVT Audis are so good
If you can, always get OEM axels, don't buy the cheap $30 ones. Unless you're planning on dumping the car on someone else, but if that's what's going on then you have bigger problems and should probably rethink your life
As always, best Audi repair videos I've ever seen.
I used to remove the heat shield over the passenger axle. Then you could slip the axle out without much hassle.
Turning the steering wheel to full lock, taking the keys out of the ignition so the steering lock engages and then jacking the upright/knuckle up to take the sag out of it often allows you enough room to remove the axle without taking any arms off.
Definitely works on b5.5 Passat’s and probably related models.
Can we just guestimate the torque with a breaker bar
Always replace…never.
Hopefully not the same way the "OTHER" video did it lol
Okay, Okay.. just kidding.. I am always here to Watch your videos Deutsche Auto Parts
