I had a unique encounter with my drivers side axle replacement on my '09 Jetta TDI. The main hub nut wouldn't come loose at a local shop. Took it to my local VW Dealer and they couldn't free it either. Ended up costing close to $1000 to replace that axle due to the outer suspension parts required to replace to complete the job. They of course had never seen this before. People I have talked to suspected the threads were crossed at the factory. First time that area had ever been worked on. 190,000 miles on an axle....not bad in itself. Just wanted to share since you are working in a similar area. Love the videos and explanations!!!

Best breakdown video I’ve seen in a long time. 👍 👍👍👍👍👍🙏

I'm from France, and i learned so much thanks to your videos, i can almost service my MK4 Golf 1.6 16V by myself ( up to the tools i own ), and i just need to watch the video upside down to make evrything work on left hand driven cars..haha.. Keep it up! as learnful as nat geo or discovery channel lol!

Good tutorial: simple, easy to understand and you covered all the basics as well as many useful tips!!

This vid guided me through changing the brakes and disks on my 1.4 Lupo. Great stuff. Thanks mate.

You forgot to mention that behind the disc needs to be cleaned as well. As that help out with the seating of the disc and pads while breaking. I do it all the time. Also, good idea of some copper grease on the inside of the disc. Never thought of that till you did it. But other than that, it is a fine video none the less. Keep up the good work.

Great video like always, just a little tip...put some copper grace on the two tabs on the brake pads as this is where it is in contact with the caliber and is normal where makes the noise.

Diamond geezer. Got to do this job on my wife's motor tomorrow. Now I know what to expect.

Thanks Mate. very good and quick video, no bullshit. Love it.

Changed the brakes on my current model Polo following this tutorial - thanks a lot man!!

Thanks man really helpful. Those Allen bolts where neither 6mm or 8mm on mine, so presume 7mm . . . . I managed to jam a torx bit in an use that.

thanks for upload from a grateful octavia owner.

Great video. It will help to everyone. Thanks mate.

Thanx for very good video!! I tip might be that you can use a hammer to persuade the piston to retract into the caliper. I tried everything before this last resort. Disconnecting the brake line, varming cooling spray Tools mede for retracting the piston. Btw the caliper holder does´nt nesserily need to be removed for a rotor change.

Hi nice work. Just one word of advice on 4:30 the screw that hold the disk NEVER tighten more than finger tight. it will save a lot of swearing the next time you take them off. Whatever the case the wheel bolts will keep everything in place. ;-)

Just what I was looking for..cheers👍👍👍

Brilliant and helpful video, many thanks. Its a 7mm slider!

Allen key for calipers is a 7 mm - not 6 mm. Thanks for posting this, appreciated

Thanks for explaining that so well.

Nice one! Excellent video!!!

What are the brake disc sizes for the Polo 9N 1.2 2002? Can you please give me an answer?

You will also need to clean dirt off the brake disc brackets and calipers

Great video!

Good video but you should not use a copper grease as it can interfere with ABS sensors plus corrosion. Plastilube is a good lube.

Thanks helped me alot.

thx for video mate nice job

Hi, could you make a beginner video/s on getting started and the kind of tools you will need and ideal things to buy Pleaseee!! thanks.

those allen bolts to take the brakes off are not 6mm. Mine arnt anyway

Hi there i'm trying to replace the brake pads and disks by myself but I was worried about the quality I have speak to Eurocarpart and other shops which the Eurocarpart is cheapest one, what do you think should I buy original or buy them from eurocarpart thanks

Thank you for this video

If I’m just changing my front pads is there any need to bleed the fluid system?

Really helpfull. Thanks!

gud lesson bro...thnx

Good job !

Great vedio thanks .

would you use the same method for the rear wheels?

Hello good video and I'm changing mine at the moment but my abs sensor is attached to one of the pads, and the new pads dont have one on where do I go from here, thank you and good video

What is the name of the part you use to unscrew the caliper slider pins?

What cordless buzz gun would you recommend

Are you using 6 or 3 ton axel stands? Need to get some

wow! is that brake level even legal?

same as 2001 Polo?

Can u help me what mind brake pad Volkswagen polo 1.4 16V please because have to model

Unusual that you don’t need to remove a caliper mounting bracket to drop the disc out...easy swap.

Do you live in South Croydon ,because I think I've seen you in Mayfield Road ?

Please, Did you forget to say how to erase the brake pads change warning in the dashboard?

is there a torque spec to the wheel bolts in vws? thanks

whats the name of this tool ? @ 3:35 where you pushing it back

Thank u bro

Hi there. I'm currently trying to change my brake pads and discs on my 9n. But some idiot before me (it's a new car for me) has tighten the disc screw too tight. I dare not try struggling with it anymore cos it's starting to chew. I've soaked it in WD40 but was just wondering if anyone had any tips? Thanks x

How much are the rotors?

the previous owner owner/garage of my mums car stripped 1 bolt and now i have to replace the whole steering knuckle... VW logic

Stripped one of the guide pins when doing this ffs 🤦‍♂️

Hummer is OP :)

you did not show the bleeding but good just the same...

Any reason why you installed 2 outer pads on that caliper? You show one outer and one inner pad here: docs.google.com/file/d/0B3tFxEIjz8cfWXVDZXZyUl82UDQ But then install a second outer here: docs.google.com/file/d/0B3tFxEIjz8cfQzkzWkduWGEzWlE Sorry, I'm on vacation and have too much time on my hands. 😃

would not pass a mot just fail mot
