Wheel Bearing Noise Check Skoda Superb VW Audi Rear Wheel bearing Replacement

In this week video we have the 2011 Skoda superb rear wheel bearing replacement and wheel bearing noise testing, the same wheel bearing is used in a lot of VW Audi Seat.
Suspension noises can be a little bit tricky time to time, in this case driving in a straight line the noise was always there so in these wheel bearing test i tried to insulate the side loading the left and right side of the car turning to the opposite direction coming to the conclusion that the problem was one of the left side wheel.
Now i had the impression that the problem was the rear wheel bearing but because the sound was bouncing around inside the car it was a bit difficult to tell if it was the front or rear wheel, having the windows down wasn't any good so i've asked my friend Luke to seat in the back of the car coming to a conclusion that it was the rear.
Service information rear bearing torque 180Nm then 180º
i Ended up turning 150º and i felt like something was going to break, the bolt is not going anywhere ..
I hope you guys enjoy the video cheers 👍👍👍

It's interesting how we can tell when "something is going to give". I know that feeling. Overall a pretty easy job. And you had some sunshine too. Nice.

[@CarsExposed]

Absolutely Wyatt I have to agree ... it was a lovely day unfortunately we are not getting many days like it ☹️😉... cheers buddy 👍👍👍

[@JohnnysSpeedShop]

Wow.... that was tight, kept waiting for the breaker bar to snap an ear off... Jeezz Igor...Good job mate..

[@CarsExposed]

Johnny's Speed Shop cheers mate ... me too mate ... the breaker bar was bending like crazy I was just waiting for the pop 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

[@mechanicmatt871]

That wheel bearing bolt is extremely tight, I've never managed to fully tighten one, it feels like something is going to strip. Good video mate

[@CarsExposed]

Mechanic Matt hello mate Yeap I know the bolts has to stretch a bit but 180° feels way too much cheer 👍👍👍

[@TheGibby3340]

Coaxiale coil springs...spline drive bolts...angle torque on a wheel bearing/hub. Every day a school day! Can be very tricky sometimes to localize what quadrant the noise is emminating from. Once again...good work Igor. Cheers M8

[@CarsExposed]

I absolutely agree Ian I pretty much learn something new everyday... Tricky indeed, also having winter tyres didn't help , whatever make he has on it now didn't pass my tyre noise quality control 😂😂😂cheers mate 👍👍👍

[@Automotive_Solutions]

I haven't been brave enough to get 180. As you said your waiting for something to break / strip. Good work. 👍

[@CarsExposed]

The same here mate 😊 I know the bolt has got to stretch but 150° feels more than adequate ... cheers 👍👍👍

[@goranh6489]

Good job mate! I would like to add that the rear brake caliper bolts on VAG are also torque to yield (as the wheel bearing bolt was) and should also be replaced. With that said you may not even need to remove the brake caliper carrier, at least not on my Audi with ventilated discs in the rear, the discs was possible to get off and then on again with the brake caliper carrier still in place.

[@melvis2017]

Great video appreciations very good explanations and thanks for sharing with us 👌👍🇩🇰

[@OneAuto]

Nice job Igor. I hate trying to get that 180 degrees. Don’t think I’ve ever done it without a little bit of poo coming out 😂

[@CarsExposed]

One Auto, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was close mate that’s why I stopped hahahaha cheers 👍👍👍

[@JohnnysSpeedShop]

LOL.....

[@pauloffthewall6367]

Another great job man 180°wow that's nuts 👌

[@CarsExposed]

Paul off the wall thanks mate nuts indeed 😊👍👍👍 cheers

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Good job! 👍

[@CarsExposed]

LM Auto Repairs thanks mate 👍👍👍

[@kennygrant69kg]

I hate those M18 bolts, best thing I got was a 3/4 drive M18 socket, takes away the fear of the 1/2 breaker bar giving up! Like you put in the comment, pushing down with an axle stand supporting helps as well, or at least it does for me! 👍🏻

[@CarsExposed]

Kenny Grant absolutely mate I recently bought a 3/4 breaker just in case I do another one of this wheel bearing 😊, I didn’t look into getting a 3/4 M18 socket but I have an adaptor maybe that should be ok ... cheers 👍👍👍

[@Badgertronix]

Great job mate. I had my eyes closed from 90 degrees 👀🤣

[@CarsExposed]

Me too mate 😂😂😂😂 although I was wearing safety squints you never know 👍👍👍👍 cheers

[@CANDiagnostic]

good job, good to see you using axle stands

[@CarsExposed]

CAN Diagnostic thanks mate 👍👍👍 Always 😉😜👍👍

[@t5jerry]

i expect this skoda has been sold/scrapped by now, but why did it have 2x sets of REAR coil springs ?

[@danyo1972]

Top video mate.

[@Krillekris]

Nice video. That axle-bolt is a tough one. Remember my High Torque M18 Milwaukee did non manage to loosen it on my mothers Audi. Same torque specifications.

[@CarsExposed]

Krille's Garage oh yeah I remember mate ... Is a tough bolt indeed I don’t think any impact gun would get it out, the torque is crazy ... cheers mate 👍👍👍👍

[@iankelly2110]

good job Igor I had my eyes closed waiting for a pop haaaa

[@CarsExposed]

Ian Kelly 😂😂😂 the same here mate I even went and got my safety squints just in case 😊👍👍👍 cheers

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? The sounds of that bearing sure pointed to a rear bearing to me. The growl gave it away!!! That axle bolt isn't going to fall out that's for sure!!! It was as tight as an Irish dart player!!! LOL It sure looked like your strong arm was about to break when you decided to stop at 150!!! Smart play!!! Those were nice springs though!!! Thanks for posting and take care!!!

[@CarsExposed]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheers Mike it’s always a pleasure 👍👍👍👍

[@Dark-Lord3386]

Nice little tour of Bournemouth too lol

[@CarsExposed]

matthew riggs yeap it was lovely day so I thought why not take you guys for a ride with me 😉😊👍👍👍 cheers mate

[@pomelodrive21]

Job well done 👍

[@CarsExposed]

Cheers mate 👍👍👍

[@aidenbiden5597]

When bearings go the turning to put the weight of the vehicle to one side then the other is one of the oldest tests but is the easiest

[@CarsExposed]

Absolutely 👍

[@rookiediagnosticsandrepair5956]

good job! 180 degrees looked scarrry )

[@CarsExposed]

Scary Indeed I thought something was going to pop ... cheers mate 👍👍👍👍

[@rohitchaudhary73]

Very nice bro👌👌👌👌👌 next video by dsg gear

[@CarsExposed]

Thanks mate ... will film if I get one cheers 👍👍👍

[@miquEST4]

Good Job! :)

[@CarsExposed]

thanks mate 👍👍👍

[@martyndashwood]

My man’s in Bournemouth 😂

[@t5jerry]

great video, nice to see a "good" mechanic at work! what`s your hourly labour rate and where are you based.

[@CarsExposed]

Thanks I live in bournemouth Dorset

[@t5jerry]

@@CarsExposed and the hourly labour rate ?????

[@donatask4398]

👍 nice one! 180 degrees? I don't think it is possible! I thought your breaker bar will give up.... ☺

[@CarsExposed]

Don K me too that breaker bar was bending like crazy 😬😊😆.... cheers bud 👍👍👍

[@davesterl]

Very rarely achieve the full 180degrees

[@CarsExposed]

Good to know Dave 👍, I thought the whole thing was going to pop if I carried on any further... cheers mate 👍👍👍

[@johnmayberry7669]

Quick way to identify a faulty wheel bearing..jack up the car spin the wheel by hand place hand on the spring and if you feel vibration through the spring that s were your faulty bearing lies

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Great job Igor! That car will give you a nice pension 🙈😂😂😂

[@CarsExposed]

Niamh Healy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheers Niamh yeap has been a great motor for me ££££ 😉😊👍👍👍

[@salihkaya4739]

Where is your garage mate ?

[@Leethemetalwarrior]

Great video. Audi winter wheels, Skoda summer wheels?

[@CarsExposed]

Thanks mate... that would be nice but my friend has only this Audi set, he normally does the tire change instead 👍👍👍

[@salihkaya4739]

Lol United taxis 🤣 local taxi firm I found

[@usamayoutuber2312]

My car same

[@kimhighfield6529]

Would yo recommend replacing both of them ?

[@CarsExposed]

Kim Highfield personally no as it isn’t something that will change the geometry of the suspension, here in Uk as we drive on the left side of the road the left bearing tends to fail more often as drivers hit the curb when turning or parking ... Perhaps I would suggest changing both but as a preventive maintenance ... cheers 👍👍👍

[@anwarmawery1909]

Hi could you please tell me what dimensions of the Skoda octavia 2015 1.6 diesel heater matrix? Thanks

[@CarsExposed]

Sorry mate I haven’t got one here to take the measurements, I also looked into the service info and they disclosure anything about the heater matrix ...

[@anwarmawery1909]

Thanks mate

[@hardworker8030]

Is service information free and where can I find it.

[@CarsExposed]

You can find some service info with the manual of the vehicle and done other stuff online / google , after that paid subscription 👍

[@ronaldmaxwell4579]

Nice one☺

[@CarsExposed]

Thanks mate 👍👍👍

[@davidwaters5348]

Those bolts are stupidity tight.. never managed 180 degrees lol
