VW Golf Mk5 Audi front wheel bearing noise DIY diagnose and how to remove hub and fit new part.

VW Golf front wheel noise. DIY process to diagnose the problem, remove the faulty bearing and fit complete hub assembly. Moderately easy job for competent DIYer. You will need M12 spline bit and a 27mm socket. The hub and bearing kit fit many other VAG vehicles.

Thank you for you a good tutoria video. 2004 tdi 2.0 here. Both wheel bearing have play. Right side more than left. Im going to replace both. / 🇫🇮

Thanks for watching Jarkko. It's not a complicated job and after 20 years I guess maybe the 2.0 Tdi deserves fresh bearings. b33zo

In my experience with VW CV axles. The bolt hole passes all the way through to the cv. Makes it much easier to add grease to the joint if necessary

One of the easiest wheel bearings to do!!

very well done job. I have the same car model. Golf 5 1k1 with bse 1.6 petrol engine. but as I managed to check situation by using mirror - front wheel hub has only 3 bolts ??? (looked like 12mm triple square or something...)

and axle bolt is 27mm hex

Thanks for watching Petteri. Yes I should have made a closer inspection to figure out that the 1.9tdi of 2005 has 4 bolts not three. The car is on 207,000 miles now and needs more jobs doing! b33zo

@@b33zo Thanks. Looks like I have to take wheel of and count those screws again before ordering any parts. I have 146,000 miles. No parts of the suspension has yet been replaced. No weird sounds are coming there - so I suggest all ok.
