How to change rear shock absorber on VW GOLF 7 [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]

[@autodocuk]

⚠ Attention! This video contains a mistake: 4:51 - the tightening torque is 70 Nm, not 180 Nm. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

i followed this video and the 180NM (132 ft lbs) for the rear strut bolt broke and now im stuck.... thank you for the mis information. its actually 70NM (52 ft lbs)

[@pavelvokoun7595]

Me as well 😂😂😂 bolt just exploded, but still im d*mb that i didnt read the coments 😅

[@Behemoth33]

Well 70nm + 180° is the actual specs

[@TheTexican05]

Gents - GREAT video! I just needed a quick refresher. Thank you for putting this together. Excellent editing, too. 👌 🍻

Thank you for sharing your opinion with us.

This is an excellent video. However my MK7 Golf only has shock absorbers on the rear. No coil springs. Strange 🤔.

[@autodocuk]

Yes, it's all depending on the design features of your car it may differ slightly.

[@amirb715]

a video on changing the timing belt on mk7 1.8T please!

[@autodocuk]

The video you asking for is on the go. Hope it appears on channel soon. This information you can find this information in the vehicle maintenance log book

[@chrisvonahnen3578]

According to the video links to all parts are in the description. I would like to know where to find the special tools needed as shown in the video!?

[@autodocuk]

You can select and find instruments at www.autodoc.co.uk/tools

[@chrisvonahnen3578]

@@autodocuk No I can't, I tried to find the tools on AUTODOC before I wrote a comment here in KZbin. Example: The video shows a socket tool that is used to expand the part, that holds the lower part of the shock absorber. Where do I find that tool on AUTODOC?

[@Jenson589]

Where can I purchase the socket for the shock absorber 😊

ALSO What is the main use of wire brush ceramic grease?? Why do they always use it too??? /// TAMBIÉN ¿Cuál es el uso principal de la grasa cerámica con cepillo de alambre? ¿Por qué ellos también lo usan siempre?

Quick and easy

What is the main use of copper grease??, Why do they always use it??? /////// Cual es el principal uso de la grasa de cobre??, Por que la usan siempre???

[@autodocuk]

Hi! Thanks for your comment. in the video, we used copper grease to further facilitate dismantling during subsequent replacements, since it perfectly protects against corrosion and sticking of parts.

[@RobertMacDonald-ue5xy]

Torque specs are dangerously WRONG. Uppermount bolts should be 50Nm + 45 degrees (which stretches the bolts to higher clamping pressure than the omission of the extra tightening). The lower bolt is 70 Nm + 180 degrees (the erroneous misstatement as "180 Nm" would dangerously overtorque the bolt to possible failure if someone were to attempt).

[@fr4437]

180nm is alot of force

[@alex5897]

update the torque specs this is dangerous for people who care about their lower shock bolt ! at least edit the video and reupload. 🙄

[@autodocuk]

Your comment is very helpful for us, we'll work on it.

[@simonehayes4911]

But you still haven’t ammended the torque on video Clowns 🤡

copper grease on aluminum cannot be used
