I never knew you guys were actually legit. I’ve past up on a lot of car parts from you guys just because I never knew you . Good to see you actually work on your car . Got a new customer 😅
I was going to comment on the relaxed (I take it as "kind") nature Mike has throughout this video. I don't even own an R, but watched this all the way through.
@fcpeuro hello, great videos. Can you tell me if it's ok to greaes my hub through the abs port on my jetta? I see some videos of people doing it but coments say it's sealed so the grease won't help. Thanks
It would be awesome to have a parts, tools & process video like this for the 2WD Golf MkVII Especially because I haven't found any way to KNOW for sure what is hidden behind the dust cap... It's like Schrodinger's Disposable Bolt... M12? 12mm hex? 24mm 12 point?
Excellent. Question: why use ceramic paste for the mating surfaces and anti seize for the splines? Is there harm in using anti seize for both surfaces?
I believe the torque spec for the wheel-bearing-to-axle bolt is wrong. The torque spec for WHT005437A (silver) is 200 Nm + 90 deg. The 200 Nm + 180 deg torque spec is for WHT005437 (black) bolt.
Just did this on my 16 R. Folks in the rust belt be careful with that 3 M12s in the rear, i had to whip out the torch for mine. 100k Miles on my car/hub.
Same here. Even worse, my MQB (Passat B8 4motion) has a different rear geometry, meaning one of the hub screws is _behind_ the shock, not to the side as in this video.
Great Video to the point and concise, I have one question though...I'm pretty sure the parts are different but is the procedure the same for a Golf Alltrack?
I have the same question and wondering if you ever received clarification on this (here or somewhere else)? Sounds like the R has an electric parking brake but besides that, I kinda assume it's the same configuration.
...No I haven't But when it comes time to do my brakes I'm going to dive right in My Alltrack is a 2017 MY and does not have a E-parking brake it should be a pretty straight forward procedure
BEWARE if you're doing this on a different MQB car, in my case a Passat B8 4Motion. The rear geometry is different, so especially one of the screws to the hub ends up _behind_ the shock. In the end, I successfully removed it - but it was impossible to torque it to spec. I managed 70NM and _maybe_ 30 degrees. Hopefully the loctite saves me. I also managed to strip another of the hub screws on assembly, but I did it at the very end, so it's almost torqued to spec. You have been warned.

Brilliant video. All steps clearly shown and I like the tools and parts bit at the beginning. One of the best car maintenance videos I've seen.
Such a great delivery of the knowledge, so chill.

So THAT'S what's making noise in the RR of my Mk7. On the Spring to do list now Thanks!
thank you for helping my car no longer sounding like a jet engine taking off
Great presentation! However that music bumper wears thin pretty quick...
Noted, thank you for watching!

The service manual says "Caution, never use an impact wrench when removing the bolt", talking about the center bolt.
Brilliant diy vid, thanks 😎👍

M12? 12mm hex? 24mm 12 point?
Awesome as always Mike! Thank you :)
Great video I have to do my right rear on my 19 Tiguan do to me stripping my set screw 🙄🙄 quick question do you have to retract the rear brakes???
At 12:22, when you say M12, do you mean 12mm hex drive or triple square?
Triple square
Excellent. Question: why use ceramic paste for the mating surfaces and anti seize for the splines? Is there harm in using anti seize for both surfaces?

You are not correct. 90 deg should use when you have bolt with notches. Smooth bolts always 200+180* for types of vw
@@dt8696 You should check repair manual from erwin or ElsaPro lol. Your info is wrong
@@mattsheng2211 Factory repair manual for the Seat equivalent says 180°.
Good vid

You can also pull the parking brake to stop the driveline
👍
Hypothetically if I am to replace the axle too at the same time would I unbolt the axle from the diff and be able to free it when the hub is removed?
Yes 100%!

You have been warned.
Is the process the same if you have a front wheel drive Golf or GTI?
Mine is an eGolf. With front wheel drive.
So the hub, contains the bearing??, sorry wasnt clearly detailed in your video
Yes it's a unit bearing. Sealed bearing and hub in one.
So you don’t have to do anything with the the parking brake thru obd11
According TT MK3 workshop manual
Silver bolt (WHT 005 437 A) only need 200Nm+90deg
Mk3 this is mk7
Sweet
A shop just recently charged me 700 to do one wheel bearing, I’m sure I got ripped off big time !!
That top M12 is a bitch to get off. Anyone have any tips? Even been working on it for an hour and no one can get it off
Hope you solved it, lol.
But for anyone else finding this, I had to bring out the torch and heat them sumambitches.
