    ⚠ Attention! The mistake was made in the video at 4:33 minutes. The tightening torque is 160 Nm, not 80 Nm. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    The torque settings in this video are a lot less than all the manuals I've reviewed. Could you double check them and update the text? Thanks.
    Also my T4 and all manuals I've seen have no washer on the lower shock bolt, why does your demo vehicle have one?

      Thank you for your comment.
      We will take this into account in the following videos.
      Unfortunately, the answer to your question is not possible.
      The washer was installed before us.
      Best Regards,
      Autodoc team.

    Can anyone say what are the correct torque values, for both front and rear suspensions? or where i can look for it? ( i dont have the manual) thank you

  • @laetitiafarine5605
    @laetitiafarine5605 2 роки тому +2

    The correct torque settings (according to VW service manual) are : 25Nm (not 45) for the small upper nut ; 100Nm (not 52) for both the nut and bolt securing the upper mount to the chassis ; 160Nm (not 80) for the lower nut.
    Don't rely on the numbers on these videos and always double check ! (Also they have a weird fetish for copper grease)

      Hi! Our videos are for guidance only. All routine replacements and values can be found directly in the technical documentation for your car or use the help of a car maintenance service.

    Washer cups for the top rubber bushes were put on differently to how they were taken off .

    Safety warning! 🛑Wrong wheel bolts torque! Should be 160 Nm till 12/1995 and 170 NM from 1996 !

      You are right, some moments in the video were missed, but our channel is not educational but is only for informational purposes.
      We strongly recommend that all replacements, especially those relating to the brake system, be carried out exclusively at a specialized service.
