Good job Chris.
Nice vid, very clearly explained, thanks buddy
Cheers mate glad it helps 👍
Nice one,you made that look easy
cheers mate its not to bad just be carful of those brake hard pipes 👍
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. TT 👍
👍
@@CarChris82 😉 👍
Very helpful, I did this today but found it far trickier than you. My v6 has 2 brake line brackets on the arm, one removable one fixed. The passenger side can be done without uncoupling the brake line just, follow it back unclipping it, the drivers side I cut 2 slits in the fixed bracket and pulled the line free didn't want to have to mess around bleeding brakes. The bush bracket I really struggled to get lined up with the previous setting, Found there was limited movement, hopefully when it goes for alignment they'll sort it. Thanks again.
Afternoon Chris
I’ve only just come across your channel, I have a Mk1 TT Roadster 3.2 , in glacier blue, your Mk1 looks spot on , Did you know you are the spitting image of shoe nice from UA-cam, great channel hopefully meet up in the summer sometime at meet , I’m from Bicester Oxfordshire
Cheers mate I appreciate the support 👍 I never heard of him 🤣😂 i will have to check it out.i will be going to some shows this year so keep an eye on my Instagram and maybe try and get a tt meet together which would be cool 😎
Nice video buddy :)
Cheers mate 👍
Great tutorial mate. I was secretly hoping you were going to “toast those marshmallows” out of the arms with a blow torch! 😂👍
cheers mate 👍no blow torch needed 😂🤣 maybe when I change some others
Nice work Chris. You’re very good at putting a little bit of lube around the hole of the bush 😂
😂🤣😅
That's an excellent way to go about it! I need to do this on my buddy's MK1 TT. His is FWD so I believe the suspension setup in the rear is slightly different than that of the Quattro. Hopefully I can do this successfully. I'm going to be replacing the entire rear braking system including the calipers so I guess that would be the best time to replace these bushings as well.
Its not to bad of a job just smash the old ones out
@@CarChris82 do you know if it is possible to do the subframe bushings with the same approach as well or do I need a lift to do that
I let you know when I do it 😏
Nice video. Still not looking forward to trying this sometime. Got 196000 mile on mine, so it’s coming soon.
Cheers mate the hardest bit is getting the corroded brake line off
Tracking way out on back wheels. No adjustment possible, mechanic thinks it might a rear Bush issue...any thoughts?
Great video Chris; I haven’t worked on a car in over 30 years but am now working my way around a Mk1 and trying to remember things. Did you need to clamp the brake lines anywhere before doing this or had you bled the system first? Looks like my next job to (hopefully) fix the rear squeaking - tried virtually every other bush and no harm in updating them
Hi yes I bleed the whole system including the abs pump after fitting these as the rear hard lines had to be disconnected. These cars are getting on a bit so bushes are getting worn out.i find the poly bushes so much easier to fit as you don't need a press
Making it look dangerously easy, Chris! Very tempted to give this one a go.
What are your plans with the brake side of things. Will you bleed it up via VAGcom?
Cheers mate 👍 bleeding the brakes with obdeleven its the same thing following brake bleeding part with the abs to kick in to get the air out
Great video Chris, as I always thought this job would need a press . Probably one for a sunny summer weekend. P.S . where should I be looking to get a poly bush set?
Cheers mate yes no press required i got mine from ebay I put a link in the description
Nicely done sir...something tells me you've done this type of thing before😉 Are you going to replace all your bushes for polybushes?
Cheers pigeon 👍 I did some research on it and did the otherside first before filming doing this side, I think when I change a bush I will replace it with a poly one
Good job mate. I would have replaced the bolts tho..
Cheers mate 👍 i was going to replace the bolts but when you go and have the wheel alignment done they will be undone again and I'm sure they don't replace them everytime you have that done ?
Nice. Looks easy enough. So there's no need to bleed the breaks, or add break fluid after disconnecting the break line?
Yes you will need to bleed the brakes after mate
Thanks Chris. Did you have to bleed the brakes after?
I did yes as I disconnected the brake line but you can unclip the line from the body which should give you enough movement on the arm but with its disconnected it give you a lot more
Great video! How long did it take per side? About to do the same, my bushes are toast.
No more than a hour per side mate just take care undoing the brake line as they like to seize
@@CarChris82 wow, not that long!
Im going to reserve whole day doing mine, as there is so much more rust on the bolts 😅 Already got new bolts, quite salty price from the dealer, 5.5€/each
@@jusamartin91 fairplay mate 👍🏻
Did you get any symptoms like knocking or anything before replacing these or just upgraded because you wanted to?
Mine are perished badly but I'm just replacing with oem.
Thanks
No they were ok but wanted to do them as a precaution so I wouldn't need to worry about them in the future 👍🏻
@CarChris82 nice one man , appreciate the reply
@@garns8878 no worries mate 👍
Hi Chris, what was the reason for changing the rear arm bushes? And by replacing them did it resolve the issue?
Hi mate it just felt a bit loose at the back and yes it sorted it 👍
hi mate do you need to bleed brakes after?
Yes mate if you undo the lines like I did 👍
Nice, did you notice a diffrence in driving?
Not driven it yet mate as I'm still doing other bits on it at the moment 👍
how different is this for the FWD model?
Not sure but guessing its pretty much the same
Great, since I have to do it this week end. A little bit scarry about brake pipes I must confess 😬
Yes be very careful undoing them ad they maybe seized and will twist the hard pipe and snap,remember you will need to bleed the brakes afterwards
@@CarChris82 Ok . I guess there is noway to unbold something to free the pipe, without disconnect them :/
I did the bleed some weeks ago since I have restored the rear calipers.
One bleed more 😭
@@renedewael9703 unfortunately they have to be undone to lower the arm to get to the bush.just take your time and use lots of penetration fluid and a wire brush.
Ok! Thanx again ;)
I was able to do it without removing the hard pipe. I just unclipped the pipe from brackets that holds the pipe to the chassis. It gives you enough space for movement! I myself was also scared to undo the brake pipe thats why I tried the audi workshopmanuals's way 😂
That’s where you do the rear tow on them 4 bolts
I will be coming to you mate to get it all sorted out when I get some other bits on
Did this change the ride at all?
yes it made the rear of the car feel more connected
Do you have a FWD or Quattro ?
Quattro mate
Still see rust through the paint on the control arm bracket plus rust on the chassis frame
Everything will be powder coated as some point 👍🏻
