Could you please double-check that torque setting at 4:02? I have a manual here that says the torque for the rear "wheel hub-to-wheel bearing housing bolt" on a front-wheel drive mk6 is 180Nm + 90°......It's from the 2013 edition of the VW Golf, GTI and Golf R Quick Reference Specification Book. Could you have gotten it mixed up with the Golf R which is AWD?
@@WhyTheSkeletonsGlow No reply from ECS, however this is an older video so I'm not surprised. The manual I have says 180Nm + 90°. A lot of people I've come across on the internet actually say it's 180Nm + 180°, which is insane because I just changed the rear bearings on mine and I was barely able to get the 90° much less 180° . With all the different VW models out there it's hard to know for sure. But, my manual also clearly says that the torque for an All-wheel drive mk6 (so, the Golf R) is 70Nm + 90° which is what this video says. But the car in this video is a regular GTI which is front-wheel drive.
if you mean for the inside, no, it comes pre-lubricated, on a side note, I would put some grease on the steel rod so it won't seize or rust, the part he touches at the @3:27 mark
I'm surprised you used an impact on that lil beotch bolt my guy. It's a torque and yield to like 160 degrees torque spec. Also the same size as my pinky fingure...the chances of breaking it doing that are very high. Also I'm an HD tech not a backyard wrench holder
Jay dropping some more knowledge 🧠
Love the mk5 content
Mk6 gang 😤 🤙
Will xenon retro fits for the golf mk5 gti ever come back?
should the bearing spin freely or should we feel a drag to spinning by hand after tightening bolt? thanks

My GTI is a 2012, btw.
@@chilledspeed I've heard the same and also have MK6 Golf. Did you find anything out?

I agree. The torque is way higher. Don’t want that wheel assy coming loose during track day
done ✅ yesterday
Trimming belt replacement on a VW cc 2.0 tdi
can i reuse old wheel bearing bolt if im just gonna replace brake shield?
We do not suggest reusing old hardware that is torque to yield
Probably a dumb question... Do you need to grease the bearing?

Wait..I thought the spec calls for 180nm and than 180 degree turn...?
Correct for non ribbed bolt, ribbed is 70Nm + 90. Never seen a ribbed version on rear though.
@@squadmeta Yeh, i changed a lot of these on Passats and Jettas but have not seen a ribbed bolt🤔
