How to change rear brake discs / rear brake rotors on VW GOLF 6 (5K1) [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]

[@autodocuk]

Attention! This video contains mistakes: 2:51 - the tightening torque is 4 Nm, not 9 Nm. 3:10 - the tightening torque is 90 Nm, not 75 Nm. 3:56 - the tightening torque is 35 Nm, not 30 Nm. We're sorry for the inconvenience 🙇‍♂

[@adonispuscas]

3:10 - according to VW is 90 Nm + 90º turn ( always replace with new bolt)

Thanks! This video save me around £70-£100... for which I bought good tools (~£50) Tools stay with me:) It take for me around 4h - I know is long, but it was my first "big job" in my car:) I try to by very accurate. And yes is not XZN 12 is XZN 14!!! (golf mk6 variant diesel). Next stop: rear shock absorbers and coil springs:)

Prepare to have the car off the road for couple weeks at least if you’re working on it yourself you’re bound to run into hurdles

[@rajeenzrajeenz3197]

Just did mine @ golf Mk6 GTi 2011 2.0 petrol. Yes the XZN socket is # bit 14 @ 14mm and not 12mm. Had to order it twice.....took 2 hours per side probably because I changed the suspension link as well. Satisfying fix. Couldn't have done it without this video. Good job mate

[@paulcoles6152]

wish i had read the comments before starting. Caliper bracket is heldon with an XZN 14mm. Also worth loosening the little torx bolt holding the disk on while the hand brake can be applied (before removing pads etc)

[@bartolucciao]

XZN size is wrong should be M14 not M12

[@Miika_Ullakko]

Exactly :( first time i went to shop, i forgot my wallet. Next time I bought a 12 mm. Third time I bought 14mm...

[@rogerwallace5473]

Do the left and right calliper pistons have left and right threads or are they both the same? Checking I don’t need more tools

[@autodocuk]

You can find this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your particular vehicle.

[@BLahBLahBLahBLah584]

I just don'e this job on a golf Mk6, 1.6 TDI with 255 rear discs, didn't need to remove the carrier, there's enough room to slide the disc out

[@grand_master_glass]

how positive are you on that? I can't remove the rear carrier bolts.

[@therealist1175]

@@grand_master_glass hij heeft gelijk. Ik kan het ook insteken zonder de drager te demonteren

[@serg3615]

Dang I got 272mm for my mk6 2.5l. I hope I can do the same

[@nor-fk6jd]

Yes can be done if you just move the pads carrier. Thats the part that is on the two sliding rods that centre the pads on the disc.

[@nor-fk6jd]

Go for it. It works fine if you just remove the pads carriage from the carrier.@@grand_master_glass

Very helpful video thanks.

2:05 I am currently trying to remove the rear carrier bolts from my 2012 mk6 gti and it looks like your bolts go a different direction from mine. Is that possible?

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, the complexity of replacement is individual on each car, it all depends on the technical condition of the parts. Our videos are for informational purposes only in the sequence of replacement, you always have the right how to replace the part. AUTODOC

My callipers seem seized any tips on freeing them

[@autodocuk]

It is difficult to advise on anything from the description, we recommend that you contact a service center.

[@paulcoles6152]

They are really stiff, i had a rope around the longest bar that would fit with somebody pulling it while i hit the bar with a lump hammer! Alot easier on a ramp with a nice long bar on it. Good Luck.

[@rookie260]

When should you change your discs. Is there a way to check.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment. We recently released a new video format in which we tell the very first symptoms of wear of various suspension parts, perhaps this video will be useful to you kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWSnY5SwZ8ifpdk Best Regards, Autodoc team.

[@jameshazelton4612]

Necro thread, but these particular rotors are 12mm thick new, minimum is 10mm. When you feel a lip at the edge of the rotor, get them checked.

[@mzsov]

What happens if the car has an electronic parking brake?

[@autodocuk]

If your car is equipped with an electronic parking brake, then before starting work you need to put it in service mode.

[@centaur188]

Helicopters have rotors, cars have discs.

[@cracklespinner4802]

Here in america they are called rotors

2:12 2litre tdi. Didn’t need to remove calliper holder (as per previous comment) would have saved buying the tool for the job and halved the time taken🥺

[@autodocuk]

to replace it in a proper way, you need to remove the caliper holder.

[@paulcoles6152]

@@autodocuk sorry I don’t agree with you. The disc came off easily without removing the calliper bracket. If you removed the calliper bracket what would you gain, nothing. The bracket was a real pain to take off and did not need to be done.

[@matthewgarner780]

​@@paulcoles6152going to try my bolts are rusted to big for 12..sm for 14..no 13!

[@matthewgarner780]

Nope!...idk anyone have a 13 nvk?

[@DavidAllen-il5vu]

Incorrect info regarding xzn size for my 2011 mk6 Gti golf not xzn12 but xzn 14. Wasted day and now seeing comment that the disc can be removed without removing carrier, great.

[@paulspeight8398]

🤔If you do remove the carrier bracket and not fitting new bolts when installing then its advisable to use a thread lock liquid ( Most of the important bolts on VWs are the use once type) Also it might be helpfull if you show how to reset the self winding pistons & handbrake back on to the pads after installing new..Anyone just driving off will more than likely end with 💩in their 👖when 1st hitting the brake peddle

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment. We are constantly working to improve our videos.

[@vladimirkirinovic3474]

On 1.6i its XZN 14 istead of 12

[@WitcherDAD]

torx M14 :)

[@davidcurran1607]

The VW golf Mk6 1.4tsi uses xzn14 or M14 spline also

[@hawkFOUR4]

Calliper won’t wind back

[@autodocuk]

Without a proper diagnosis, it is difficult to tell, we recommend that you contact a service center.

[@top100nuclearblasts]

and now the same procedure but without a car lift ...anyone can do it a nice garage with wheels in front of your face

[@chainlearn]

T30 isn’t going in!!!!!

[@Underp4ntz_Gaming_Channel]

Wheels 120nm? they need to be 140nm xD

[@autodocuk]

In this case, 120 nm is the correct value.
