There’s a huge difference in the torque settings compared to the VW T5 repait manual. The 21mm caliper bolts showld be tightened with 180 Nm not 75 Nm. The road wheel bolts the same. How come the big difference?
In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing that may be slightly different is the design features of your car. More accurate information can be obtained in the technical documentation for the car or by contacting the service. AUTODOC
In the video for the 21mm bolts it is clearly stated 75 Nm. This is not correct torque setting however. The correct one is 180 Nm which is more than double.
