How to change a rear brake caliper on VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 5 TUTORIAL | AUTODOC

[@neondiamondsaquaberry17]

Looks so easy and clean, in reality you will have stripped bolts, busted knuckles, lots of cussing, a 12 pack of beer and a trip or two to the auto store for damages parts while taking the old one off, can’t wait to do this on Friday, I know I’ll be in for some good ol VW fun

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback ! Unfortunately, each car requires particular replacement and everything depends on a technical condition of car parts units. Our videos are informative by the replacement sequence and it is always your right how to replace the car part. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@cantonis]

:-) i agree, i end up popping a rib, bruised shoulder and skin of my knuckles, all to change pads, disk and a seized caliper. Oh yes and a trip to store for Bleed kit, extra spanners and and and and.... my experience was nothing like the video. lol

[@Simo5000]

Personally I don’t want to be watching a video of someone struggling. It’s a no nonsense tutorial. Cheers

[@Newco94conferenceleaguediddys]

Would this be the same for the Scirocco

[@tetutti]

Fkn hate working on brakes.. I'm now questioning why I bought a car known for its faulty calipers.

[@the_first_resort940]

This guy always has a rust free super easy car to work on, he makes it look effortless … people expect some complications

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for sharing your opinion! AUTODOC

[@88ights]

Imagine working on a car and thinking it'll always go smoothly, lol

[@Federer2001]

Thank you so much for this video. This video helped me out a lot. I had to install a new caliper on my mk5 Jetta and it went without any hassle.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! It’s great to know that our video was useful! Follow our upcoming updates. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@vikrammoorthy2679]

Does the brake hose have a check valve in it? How come it doesn't bleed out when you disconnect from the hard pipe line to the caliper? (Ref: around the 1:10 of the video.)

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! there is no valve and you can obsrve the leakage of a brake liquid when the hose is unscrewed. Best Regards, Autodoc Team

[@Federer2001]

The system isn't pressurized.

[@matt.banton]

Great video. Would be super amazing if you had some type to subtitles to say what each step is. I also think it’s very misleading when he bleeds the breaks at the end of the video. Someone who is not familiar with that might just think all you have to do it open the bleed nipple until a bit of fluid runs out. Should have a warning message on the video. Could be super dangerous. Just a little feedback! Your videos are always very helpful :)

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your attention to the details. Stay tuned for more videos in the days ahead. Best regards, Autodoc team.!

[@MrDesimontana]

yes your right im pleased I saw your coment is there a different way to bleed them

[@matt.banton]

Hey, if you search KZbin for ‘how to bleed breaks’ you should find what you need. Basically need to attach a clear tube to the bleed nipple and slowly pull the break peddle, ensuring there break fluid reservoir is kept topped up. But please have a search for a good instruction video. All the best

[@dawiddytmer2460]

@@matt.banton so you bleed the brake libe connecting to the caliper you're replacing before reattaching it? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

[@thetruthz13]

Great informative video. Massive help!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@ChasethesniperGod]

Hi. Do you have a video on how to replace the back brakes on a very 2013 polo. The Comfortline. It has the drum brakes

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We are currently working on creating a wider range of tutorials including the car you mentioned. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@cuprak1lad543]

Once caliper is fitted, is bleeding as easy as just opening the bleed valve and someone pumping the brakes until it runs with no air bubbles?

[@autodocuk]

After the replacement, you need to press the brake pedal several times to bring the caliper piston to the pads. If the entire replacement is performed correctly, there will be no air in the system. AUTODOC

[@mikeleeclutch]

Where did you get the yellow plug for the line?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! These yellow plugs for the line come within the mounting set for the brake system. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@danielfl.9347]

I did not get the yellow plug when i ordered a new TRW brake caliper for the same car.

[@donutworry]

Hello Autodoc: if the yellow plug doesn't come with the new caliper, can one order the plug by itself? WHat is the diameter of the plug? Thank you.

[@vDanzaa]

whats the part called at 6:25

[@autodocuk]

It is the Brake tube.

[@spurii4334]

Brilliant!!!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@vinrobinson75]

Do you have a video of the brake bleed process on the Golf V? Is there any way to search your videos for VW Golf only? Excellent videos by the way.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! There is a link to the video of Golf V as was requested : kzbin.info/aero/PLWep5LzT0sxlk9xwmfM3Ehhn6oXTluQoa Please feel free to cobtact our support team in case if you have some addiational questions. Best Regards, Autodoc Team!

[@slaglauz]

Do you not need to bleed the brakes then, just let it feed through with gravity?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your request. After this replacement, it is necessary to skip the brake fluid by gravity, and then pump it so that there are no air bubbles. All work related to the brake system, we recommend to do this work in official car service. Best Regards, Autodoc team.

[@WhippyEU]

Fuck, if it was only this easy in a real life situation on a 10 year old car caked in rust. Good video though, turns out I have all the tools needed for the job.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@nsoper19]

On my car the 16mm bolt on the brake link is closer to 17mm

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! You are right, the mentioned sizes are common. Best Regards, Autodoc

[@longbar2344]

odd. caliper i bought says don't connect cable until system bled

[@autodocuk]

The brake system should be bled with callipers installed.

[@marcduddle5193]

What size to bleed the brake ?

[@autodocuk]

thank you for the feedback! The size of what exactly arfe you interested in? Best Regards, Autodoc

[@Federer2001]

the size of the hose should be 1/4 Inner Diameter and 3/4 outer diameter. The wrench size should be 11mm to open and close the valve.

[@allsystemsdownagain9553]

Where's the commentary on how to do this??? Haven't got a clue what he's taking off or putting back!!

[@autodocuk]

You can find out more precise information in the technical documentation for repairing your vehicle directly.
