What flexi clamp do you remove to allow the fluid to come through the bleed nipple please
@GoksiGT7 күн бұрын
Why is there an electrical connection for the water pump? Isn't mechanical pump driven by the belt?

My 2c to add, 'cos I do a lot of these. Buy the long spline socket - one about 12" is fine. Short ones are a pain for removing the bolts holding the inner shaft on. If you have unvented discs, use a vise grips to prevent the shaft rotating as you open the inner bolts - clamp it to the disc so it stops up against the caliper. When removing the old rubber boot, don't muck about trying to lever off the metal cap - cut through the side of it in multiple spots with a grinder, then bash it off with a chisel - the cuts release the pressure. I use an air chisel, but a normal one works too. Air is faster. Refitting the new inner boot is a pita - more of a struggle than you would expect to get the smaller rubber neck to pass over the shaft. Personally I grip it with 2 pointy nosed pliers & drag it down into position - however you do it, it's a ballache. When removing/rebolting the shaft back on, make sure you have released both the torsion bars & the drop-links/shocks. Otherwise it's close to impossible. Fully release the torsion bars - unhook the tensioners from the chassis after loosening the nuts - I use a double ended plumbers "socket" to wind off the nuts - it's about 8" long & is 27mm one end, 32mm the other. I put a 32mm socket onto my impact gun, bang the plumbers socket into that & it winds them off/on in seconds without the faff. To get the bolts back into the 'box/shaft I poke a tapered punch through the hole at 12 o'clock to line stuff up & then run in the bolt plus the half-moon at the 9'o clock position. I then turn the shaft & run all the bolts in at 9 o'clock position - that's the easiest way to do it. Don't fully tighten them so you can line the half-moons up - get all the bolts in then go around once more & tighten them. Easier. The outer shaft splines won't want to "pop" back into the hub - get them in a fraction, put in the hub bolt & use that to drag the shaft into the hub. I use a 3/4" impact gun, you might not, but having one certainly helps.

Thank you for your comment, some very good advice, some of which I don't agree with but mostly good advice, the only bits I don't agree with are: Removing the old boot is much faster with a flathead screwdriver and one tap under the end and it pops off, also no risk of damaging things with a grinder. Refitting I've never struggled if it's greased up properly (since done many more) certainly wouldn't risk damaging the boot by using any type of pliers to pull it down. Torsion bars can be a nightmare to refit (even more so working on the floor) and it's added unnecessary work, I've heard a few people say loosen them off but it's not always that simple, especially if they're seized. The spline end of the driveshaft should never struggle to go back in and I wouldn't recommend forcing it in with the bolt, even less using HGV tools like a 3/4" impact haha, it'll only be even more of a pain next time, clean both male and female splines and grease them up. Your point about longer splines is a very good one, I found out about those months later but they were about 18" long. Vice grips on the disc is a good suggestion or a bar through a couple of wheel bolts also works, both methods to be used with caution as not to cause damage to disc or bolts. Lastly starting the bolts before tightening is good advice, it's a long time since I watched the video and I don't think I mentioned it. Thank you again for your comment, some good advice and things I wouldn't think to mention as they seem obvious to the mechanically inclined but not so much to a novice.

@@DubworxMedia I work on these for customers - no boot ever "Pops" off. :-) An air hammer usually struggles to "pop" them off if they've sat there festering for years... also no shaft ever (almost ever) "slides" back into the hub, regardless of how clean - line it up, get it in a mil or 2, pull it in with the bolt. Every time. :-)
@DubworxMedia24 күн бұрын
@jamesward5721 My mistake, I do plenty for customers too, I've just realised the video is "inner CV boot", with the metal attached to it, I was thinking of outer with just the clips, you're correct they don't pop off from the cv joint side. I've never had to pull a driveshaft spline end into place, maybe the last 10mm or so but never the majority of it 🤷🏼♂️, maybe I've been lucky so far, I've had a few seized in and they usually get replaced because the joint is knackered, I dare say if I had to put a seized one back in, it probably would need pulling in with the bolt, although I'd use a 1/2" impact to limit the risk of damaging the bolt and or threads.
@jamesward572124 күн бұрын
@@DubworxMedia I meant innerz. :-) Outers are handy. There's no great harm pulling the shaft in with the bolt, as long as it's started by hand. Why struggle? :-) I can forgive VW anything today - been working on a Honda... by comparison, VW's are bastions of common sense. Honda are nuts - they just are. Despite their "reputation".

Really annoyed, followed the instructions but you skip over a giant portion, there is a bracket in the way of the final bolt on the egr cooler, seen at 6:17, and you have about 5mm clearance all around so no chance of getting any tools in there. Also this bracket is fixed in place

It's been a while since I last did this job but iirc I use a long ball ended allen key, hope that helps. Edit: It is quite hard to film the bolts as they are often removed by feel only, it's not a job I would recommend to a novice and some experience is required to work out how to remove bolts yourself, I show the location of the bolts once the part is removed so that the viewer knows how many fasteners and the rough location of any hardware.

Great video but one thing you don't mention and another comment does (and i suspect your did this) is to loosen the tensioning nut on the torsion bar. It's a big 28mm nut in behind the tank. Count the number of threads before undoing it so you can put it back after (mine was at 40 ish) as it effects the stance, ride etc. NB doesn't need to be all the way out maybe halfway. Without undoing this the hub won't swing out enough and getting the drive shaft in and out is a pain.
