VW Caddy Van 1.9 TDI Front Wheel Bearing.

This 2010 VW Caddy van needed its front wheel bearing replacing. It had done 245000 miles so was about due.
The same bearing is used in some models of the VW Passat, Skoda Octavia & Audi A3.
Join Rob as he shows you how he did it.

this mechanic is truly one of the best I've seen, very careful, double or triple checks his work, doesnt stress, i would 100% let him repair my vehicles if needed..

[@OneAuto]

Simon Gard thank you. I appreciate that 👍

[@raduflorian7037]

True. If only he weren't so far. Plus i would've lot to learn... cheers mate

[@andreashilmersson]

Thanks for this video! Im a swedish carpenter and i did just replace the weal bearing on my caddy just like this one with help of your video. Thanks alot

[@OneAuto]

Hey Andreas, glad it helped you out 👍

[@Badgertronix]

Lack of rust over here is what got me back into fixing cars. When everything is seized or fighting you the whole way it gets pretty depressing. Another quality fix

[@OneAuto]

Thanks man. Corrosion can bring a whole workshop to a halt with the extra time needed to fight through it! Other times it looks worse than it is.

[@pwbpeter]

Good video ,I had a caddy like that and there was a place on the inside the caliper that would catch pebbles off the road which would proceed to machine the inside of the disc making a horrendous noise.

[@cardude5323]

great video Rob. Really into your style of editing, camera work with the music. very professional.

[@OneAuto]

DIY Carguy Thank you

[@jasonga]

That vid has amazed me.....how easy the job is, I remember spending ages beating Vauxhall cavalier bearings out....that looks a breeze to do......Great vid thanks...

[@OneAuto]

Thanks 😊

[@wysetech2000]

Nice video, Rob. After watching most of your video's it's surprising how many of your cars there are very similar to ours mechanically in Canada now. Mostly the model names are different. Years ago our cars were much different than the UK versions.

[@OneAuto]

wysetech2000 I think cars worldwide are very similar now. Although Canada and US appear to have larger gas guzzling engines than European vehicles.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Nice job! thanks for getting in contact with me. I see even Steve Rob is here!

[@OneAuto]

Hey Mike, thank you 👍

[@procleanvaletingdetailing]

Great vid thanks my caddy todo list next

[@yogabearmobil]

I've just started to repair my front left bearing and I began looking at your video... I'll let you know if I went all the way or if it crashed and burned....😎😎

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Nice detailed procedure, Rob! Corrosion doesn't look too bad until you get into it haha. That electric impact is impressive! Maybe I should ask for one for Christmas ;)

[@OneAuto]

Hi Ivan, thanks very much. Yeh I wrote to Santa and explained that I had been a good boy and could I have one of the new Milwaukee impacts as an early Christmas present... He said yes!!! 😀

[@ashleyburton8605]

That Milwaukee Impact gun is a beast!

[@OneAuto]

It is Ash. It has some serious power!

[@ashleyburton8605]

I've got the smaller M18 Impact in 3/8 & have a M12 3/8 on the way! Awesome bits of kit. Powerful, Controllable & great on Batteries! Can't imagine life with out Milwaukee power tools.

[@gothikia]

Thanks for posting this video. I've got two bearings on my Caddy that needs done and nice to see its a quick job.

[@cyruskhalid1693]

you all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me

[@maxtonkyrie4648]

@Cyrus Khalid Instablaster ;)

[@cyruskhalid1693]

@Maxton Kyrie thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@cyruskhalid1693]

@Maxton Kyrie It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass !

[@maxtonkyrie4648]

@Cyrus Khalid you are welcome =)

[@BernieCarter1976]

Great Video as always. Thanks

[@OneAuto]

Thank you sir.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Well done Rob . Nice editing BTW.

[@OneAuto]

Hey Steve, thanks very much.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

+SteveRob Man u ARE all over!

[@cornishsean1]

Another great video thank you

[@OneAuto]

You're welcome

[@frederiklansu270]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@dandyer8351]

looks like you may be able to.get away with not takeing the abs sensor out they do tend to snap so less hassle.

[@Jan-be5kx]

Dziękuję ! Thank You !

[@SirAnton13]

look from Germany , good video thank you ( danke schön ;-)

[@jamesswinyard530]

Great video - I doubt very much that the torque wrench would've slid in there with the axle still in there as per "the recommended way"!

[@OneAuto]

No you're right... I do wonder sometimes who writes this stuff. That was direct from the VW manual via Alldata. Thanks for watching.

[@jamesswinyard530]

No problem. I'm a mere DIY'er on my own/family vehicles. But, one of my customers runs a busy garage and has Alldata and some of their information needs some "creative thinking". It's as if the people writing it haven't turned a ratchet before :-)

[@Retrobeemer]

*Thanks for the video* I have an identical 2010 Caddy Maxi (even same colour!) and I noticed the o/s bearing started grumbling last night. Unfortunately poor health and not having all the tools will mean I need to use a local indie VW garage here in Cornwall, but I wanted to know how hard the job is and get an idea of what I;m likely to be charged. Should an hours labour cover the replacement? I think they're great van and the 1.9 in mine gets an oil change every 10k miles. It's done just over 314k now and is still going well. Anyway, thanks again.

[@Krillekris]

Great job :-) You could use a die grinder and an abrasive wheel to quickly remove rust. It's more efficient than using sand paper. Time is money :-) Greetings from Norway.

[@OneAuto]

No need... didn't you see how fast I did it!! 😜 Greetings to Norway 🇳🇴

[@Krillekris]

I guess you have a point :-P

[@EXOVCDS]

I'm surprised that VW isn't bringing these Caddy's into North America... heck, there are a lot of VW / Audi Euro models that would do well here (in my opinion). Ford is selling something here that looks similar. I love how VW / Audi keeps things similar between platforms / generations. A lot of manufacturers tend to "reinvent the wheel" with every new generation of model / platform.

[@OneAuto]

Thomas EXOVCDS I totally agree with you, I like how they keep things similar. I thing you have the Ford Connect van don't you? We have it here and it's the same sort of van.

[@EXOVCDS]

One Auto, Not sure what it is called here... yeah, looks very similar. Our Postal System uses them.

[@Mohamed-wf1gd]

hello, can you tell me what the reference of the bearing you have mounted ?

[@richardadkins6998]

How did you get the alignment on the ball joint? I usually remove the pinch bolt, then lift off the ball joint / wishbone, so alignment is maintained. I've done this on Mk2 Golfs and Mk 4 Polos. Yet to do a Caddy 2K.

[@OneAuto]

No need for alignment on these. Three ball joint studs fit into three holes in lower arm. No adjustment necessary

[@kas5857]

Doing this job in a few days. Just wondering if I remove the bottom arm would that mean tracking would need to be redone ? Or is that only when steering arm is undone ?

[@OneAuto]

Yes tracking would need to be done. The official name for the bottom arm is the 'track control arm'

[@kas5857]

Oh ok thank for the reply. I can get away without removing the track control arm the one with the three Bolts as you were trying to do intially ?

[@billrimmer5596]

Lots of diesels in England. Do u like them better than gas. Or should I say petrol?

[@OneAuto]

Personally I prefer petrol. On average any engine component repair costs are lower.

[@ifthebeltiscrackedor]

No toolslist?

[@sneds777]

Is there any difference between this and the 2011 caddy?

[@OneAuto]

Not really, same procedure, either a 3 or 4 bolt fixing

[@lanehogger1532]

sneds777 yeah, the 2011 is newer 🤣

[@priteshchampaneri7841]

Whats the name of the tune at the beginning
