Good Job !! I like the fact you used the impact to remove cv assy off shaft Word of advice If you didn't replace The axle bolt It is a stretch to yield/one-time use bolt) is 148 lb-ft PLUS 90 degrees (the stretch). I would recommend to replace Safety first Just performed sane procedure 2016 Q5
Good show, BUT, I did notice another jack which is now raised up under the gearbox area. Is there something you did,.... like raising the g/box up enough to give more clearance to replace the shaft???? I am a mechanic and notice these things that aren't there first off and also agree with "@chilled design" to tension to correct torque figures, as the big center bolt, (which SHOULD NOT be reused as it is a stretch bolt) holds the two part axle bearing together under stretch tension.
Dave, you are doing a great job. I have watched all of your videos. I have the same Audi 2010 Q5 3.2L. What is your where about? I wish I could bring my car to you. I need a suspension job like you did. I am in Illinois.
Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them very much. I'm up in the Northeast here in Connecticut. I hope you are enjoying your Q5 as much as I am mine. My 2010 Q5 is one of my all time favorite vehicles I've owned. The comfortable, smooth and quiet ride is so luxurious and it has the smoothest shifting automatic transmission I've ever owned. Until this car my favorite automatic transmission was in my 1988 BMW 735i but somehow this one shifts even better. Keep an eye out for my next Q5 video, replacing the valve cover gaskets which are seeping. What do you have for mileage on your Q5?
Please please please use the correct torque settings!!! The torque setting for the driveshaft to wheel hub bolt (which is a 19mm high tensile bolt) is 200NM PLUS 1/2 a turn when on the ground. I dearly hope you went back to that bolt with a proper torque wrench at a later date??? To achieve 200NM is plain crazy with the leverage of a 400mm torque wrench as I used the other day replacing one of my driveshafts. To get that extra 'stretch' on the bolt with the additional 1/2 a turn takes a LOT of effort, way more than what you put into that bolt in the vid. Also, the triple-square (not 4-square as you called them) bolts from the driveshaft to transmission output take 70NM. Again, pretty sure what you put in wasn't that, certainly not with a universal joint in the extensions used.
Good Job !!
