Audi TT - Installing Bimecc Wheel Spacers [WHAT NOT TO DO!] 😳😳

[@froomer17]

I'm with the exact same mate - worth getting a wheel hanger to put wheels back on. And always use a manual torque wrench! :)

[@JamesCF10]

Someone mentioned this wheel hanger thing to me before, I'll definitely look into it

[@janix_17]

Looks good 👍. Glad nothing bad happened.

[@JamesCF10]

Nice one mate

[@danielaaron6070]

It looks like your release valve on your jack has ether gone or wasn’t tightened fully if tightened fully shouldn’t drop 🙏

[@danielaaron6070]

Cross fingers it’s one maybe just the valve not tight on it if it’s faulty I’m sure u have a warranty and can exchange it 🙏

[@ITSARAPPTTRS]

Bloody hell mate, that could have been catastrophic!!!!!!! Phew you got away with it thankfully to tell the tale. Looks great though!

[@Slugworth88]

Yes, mate, are the spacers still installed? Are they still holding up, and dis you have any more issies with bolts? I just had 4 bolt sheared last week, so I'm looking for some quality bolt replacement Thanks in advance

[@JamesCF10]

They are indeed, no issues with bolts thankfully. I honestly wouldn't even know which direction to point you in for better ones

[@Richard1944]

Love your videos keep it up

[@JamesCF10]

Thanks very much!

Looking fire 🔥

[@JamesCF10]

Thank you bro

[@Cam_Wight]

Looks sick mate, was thinking about it for mine. Probably a mute point but has it reduced efficiency?

[@JamesCF10]

Get on it Cam 🙌🏾 nah no difference to efficiency

[@whatsee-ed3fs]

Hi! I've enjoyed your video, would you recommend for me to buy audi tt? Actually i've been considering about buying a car ( stinger or audi tt) in here, korea. We can not purchase audi tt because of VW emmisions scandal after 2015. So i can only used audi tt..if u were like me, what choice do u make?

[@JamesCF10]

Ah that's interesting! I'd definitely try to test drive both cars as the stinger offers way more space and practicality, but the TT is such a good car!

[@danielpdantis]

Whats the torque setting for the wrench?? Mate cheers

[@JamesCF10]

Haven't got a scoobie 😂😂 I went to a random garage that sorted it. I'm sure the torque settings are detailed in the door shuts though

[@danielpdantis]

@@JamesCF10 haha 😂 😂 no worries mate

[@lukaszM46]

how are the spacers after some time? no vibrations? is Bimecc a good brand? I saw they sell kits for 4 spacers + extended bolts on ebay that are like half the price of H&R spacers

[@JamesCF10]

Still perfect, no issues at all. Bimecc are pretty good, I got mine from ebay as well I think

[@lukaszM46]

@@JamesCF10 awesome, thanks for the reply! I might go with them. One more question, do you remember if there was a lot of room behind the hub that the bolts could stick out? I am asking because I am looking at an eBay listing of 2x15m and 2x20mm spacers from bimecc, but they come with 20x45mm bolts instead of 10x40mm + 10x45mm. This means that the 15mm spacers would have 5mm longer bolts than needed, and i am worried about them protruding too much

[@JamesCF10]

@@lukaszM46 hmmm I'm not sure sorry, all I know is - they fit perfectly haha

[@robbie121981]

Is the car lowered in this video?

[@JamesCF10]

Yeah, Eibach Pros, but I took the videos before I moved the car after having it up in the air. It took a sec to settle back to where it normally is (check my IG to see how it’s sitting)

[@Fleed72]

You need it geometrically alligned... No one mentions that in their videos

[@JamesCF10]

Good shout!

[@SILKY_999]

You don’t confirmed that with awesome gti in Manchester

[@Fleed72]

@@SILKY_999 ???

[@SILKY_999]

@@Fleed72 if your vehicle has been recently geometrically aligned already and you put spacers on then it’s fine because spacers don’t knock the tracking out

Not officially, just very very busy with work

[@omarf2406]

Never stick your legs (or any other body part for that matter) underneath your car when putting your wheels on/off.

[@JamesCF10]

haha very good advice to be fair
