How to change front brake discs / front brake rotors on VW GOLF 4 (1J1) [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]

[@johndee540]

Brush the grease on rather than spraying it on so pads and disc braking surfaces don't accidentally get coated.

correct

[@jamessutherland4045]

My golf mk4 pd130 also has the brake caliper carrier in the way so has to be removed before you can replace the disc. It would be good if there was some mention that this has to be done. It caused me major problems as I watched your video and thought it looks pretty straightforward only to have a nightmare trying to get the caliper carriers off due to the bolts being seized.

Thank you for your comment! We understand that sometimes on video the moments of dismantling are especially associated with threaded connections do not look reliable, however, to save time, we have to loosen them earlier so as not to spend a lot of time on them. Best Regards, Autodoc team

On my Golf Mk4 Gti there is one more part holding the caliper that you have to remove to get the brake discs free, why didn't you show that? Other than that it was a great tutorial!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your request. Perhaps in your case the brake system is different from ours. Best Regards, Autodoc team

[@kxczilla7665]

[@jonathanbird5341]

@@kxczilla7665 maybe because this isn't a GTI

Appreciate the content, but you need to fulfill orders faster. I placed orders with you twice and then both times logged onto the site to track the order a few days later and it was still on "processing at warehouse", so i just cancelled the orders and ordered from VW at 2x the price. I googled on uk forums and they said orders take 2 weeks to arrive, probably more now cos of brexit.

Copper + aluminium ???

[@autodocuk]

Yes, this copper spray protects the surface of the hub from rust that comes into contact with the wheel rim. AUTODOC

[@juandef4115]

Using Copper Grease voids the warranty. Never use it. Its not 1961

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

Warranty are meaningless, you have to get engineers report to submit with them, take off parts and send it to them. Wait 2 weeks for them to agree and send your replacement. 2 weeks without a car and an engineers report costing hundreds. You can buy s set of Brymbo discs and pad for the same money.
