How to Replace the Rear Struts (shock absorbers) in an Audi/VW

This video demonstrates how to remove and replace a rear strut. This video should apply to many Audi/VW vehicles around the 2001 model year.

Besides the kit you will need the following tools:

-Ratchet
-Car Jack/jack stands
-Tire iron

-17mm wrench
Optional
-Dead blow hammer

Can you please tell/show me where you placed your jack stands underneath the rear of your TT? Did you use the circular ball points that are used for the standard four point garage lifts?

I just purchased an 01 TT Quattro that needs a bit of work. I have found your videos to be very helpful. However, the link for the kit no longer works.

Thanks, mate. Everything clearly shown and explained. Great work.

Thanks man. I've got an xterra and my wife has a jetta, so naturally your channel is fantastic. I'm mechanically inclined and could do this stuff without direction, however I really enjoy seeing the step beforehand so I can see what I'm getting into!
