Rear Beam Removal - Audi A3 8L // No more knocks and Bangs
The #rowdyaudi has been getting a bit rattly from the rear end as of late, something that needs to be cured with rear beam polybushes and new top mounts...
In this video i try and film the knocking and banging comming from the rear beam and then take the rear axle off ready for the upgrades.
As this is a mk 4 golf platform car, the procedure will be very similar for the golf, a3 and seat leon of this generation

This video should be titled how NOT to do this repair. I've just done it myself for the first time and there are MUCH better videos on here, go find them.
Thank feck for UA-cam videos 👍🏻
The upper reservoir hose has a baffle in the hose. I trouble shot the system and found it. It saved me thousands of dollars and so much time. 370k km on my 2012 tdi jetta. Its been plugged for so long. No heat in car. I crushed the baffle with pliers and now it flows properly and my car is like mexico inside from the heat working in winter. Im soooooo happppppyyyyyyy
Grazie per il video, lato guidatore stesso procedimento?
Hello I'm following your instructions. I need to put the coolant cap back when it hit 90 degrees, and then turn off the car let it cool down. Is it correct?
Great job ....straightforward and to the point with out any unnecessary BLAH BLAH.....
3:15 to this day unmatched customer service
thanks such a simple spot and u helped me out sm I was looking heaps under the steering wheel and the fact u pulled it from the top is where I was going wrong u are doing gods work mate keep it up
Hey !I also do this modify in my Opel Zafira B 1.9 cdti !I put an german made Meisterteile SMF kit on it !All fine except for a litlle ratlle on idle !Do you have the same ? Opoun that, the car it just fly and put the power well to the ground, and it doesn't fell anything when you drive normaly !The litlle ratlle on idle can cause something ? Or every SMF does the same ? Thanks !Nici Audi ! :D
I looked all over Google for a B6 Passat bleeding guide. I checked AllData. Literally could not find anything. Appreciate it.
The 3.0 l tdis have a bleed screw on top of the EGR which must be opened before refilling coolant, if you don't the air bubble will compress and the thermostat won't open and the engine will overheat.
Super useful! What did you say in the middle though? xD I hope you did part 2! My 8l knocks like a lib dem canvasser
Thanks.
When I leave my car running with the cap off and it gets hot . It boils and bubbles and then over flows really bad
Blown headgasket
Would this method work with mk7 golf
What power gains may the car have gained since the conversion, I would love to know
Great video pal many thanks
Nice1..Gibbo & thank u
Спасибо мужик . Попробую 🫱🏼🫲🏻
Will this work on a gc8
Hey nice video! Do you know a tool that covers all cars? Similar to your vagcom but for every single vehicle make/model, or as many as possible. Thanks!
Thanks Gibbo… Hey man, how come your usin my nickname..??? Who said you could do that..?? Anyway, it’s a ripper good nickname, Ive been usin it for moren 70 years.. Keep up the good work Gibbo, regards Gibbo..
Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Ive got the same engine but in an Octavia just bought the darkside g60 flywheel vr6 clutch conversion... I couldn't do all that on a drive way lol full respect from me
@13:22 Nice..
How time consuming is this job? I have an Audi a3 8L, 2002 model. A friend will do the job for me. He has a car-lift in his garage, but he never replaced a clutch on an Audi before.
Is water needed i was always told to run neat with 12-13-14
From one Gibbo to another.....cheers!!
Always undo top bolt first!
Is that polegate where you picked up the bike?

Leaving the cap off and car running does not remove air lock
Thank you
What if water isn't flowing from the return line
mine does the same. What was the issue?
For those interested a 13mm square drive bit for a tight fit with those plugs. The 1/2 inch drive is a sloppy fit and may distort the plug socket.
I can’t find any local auto store
Tip for when doing cooling system service. when you got a bottle of new antifreeze that is full strength (undiluted) take a black marker and write on side of bottle 100% so that 3 years from now and you grab the bottle you know the contents is full strength. Mix the coolant 50/50 or whatever ratio in another container be it the same type of bottle or different and mark it plainly 50/50 and then add G12 or Dexcool or whatever brand of coolant FORD etc.. so you KNOW exactly what is in the bottle. Some of you may think this isn't important ? and those would be the people that grab 50/50 coolant bottle and add 50% water to it and then come winter time wonder why the side of the engine block has a crack the entire length ? that is because you dumb ass put the wrong mix into the cooling system and it FROZE in the winter now you need a new engine block. THAT is why you mark the shit clearly. or one step further own an antifreeze tester and test the vehicle when done to make damn sure it is correct. no guess work involved. If you live in Florida ? they carry on no need to worry about frozen engine block unless the earth tilts on its axle ? in which case the tidal wave about to drown you is of more immediate concern.
Not all red coolant is compatible with VW/Audi.
top man thanks for the assist.
Thanks for the video. Mucho helpful
How about the vibration when you changed gear sir, I do have a grand starex 2011 model and a DMF transmission, can I convert in to SMF
Thanks for this! First time I’ve seen a door used for the OBDII port! 😬
Fill plug FIRST! ALWAYS!
How to bleeding procedure at coolant in audi a6
thank you
I noticed my coolant was just below the minimum, then ordered some VW branded coolant (the pre-mixed 1 litre) .. Anyway after i topped it up (took about 0.7 litre) and had a ~10 mile drive then all my coolant leaked out. but can't find any source for the leakage. Could that because of a pressure build-up? As i did not bleed it.
Yee
@@MeAmJosh It was a blocked valve in the pump, and when I added the coolant, a pressure build-up when the engine warmed up .. And because the pump is plastic and over 10 years old, it did crack and leak out the coolant. I ended up replacing the pump with a new metal housing and pipes.
@@eeemuse I was not expecting a response, ty, I'm bleeding my aunts bug rn because it doesn't wanna stay below operating at an idle, I'm thinking a big air pocket in the radiators themselves, because now it's fine.
@@MeAmJosh did the coolant smell like fuel and oil before replacing it or topping-up? Or does it have any oil residuals in it? if yes then it is the head gasket worn out.
@@MeAmJosh Also check the area where the coolant pump is attached to the engine. If there is any coolant crystallisation there, it could mean either a cracked housing, worn-out gasket, or leaking temp sensor.
Never misture G12 with G13

This is the first video on diff fluid change that includes Teflon tape on the threads - good job! Subaru manual calls for Three Bond on the plug threads.
only video i found on actually changing the coolant on the a3. cheers mate!
What about this van?
