What socket for tightening front wheel bearing on a VR?
Taggart replied to adamukcorrado's topic in Drivetrain
You might need a breaker bar to do it up tho! The wiki says 265Nm, I just did it up as tight as possible. -

Do you mean the hub nut? If so IIRC it's a 30mm socket, and just a standard 12 point socket, we got one from halfords. Prob easiest getting a VAG nut. -
Would they not need spacers like the 312s?
-
Not that I've noticed, I've been thinking the same, but never had one go on me, so don't know sound
-
Got EXACTLY the same prob on me missus Polo (just changed wishbone/mounts), seems to be coming from CV/Hub area. Only happens on right lock
-
IIRC G60's aren't covered. Most stuff is the same between LHDs and RHDs, apart from a few bits in different places.
-
How about a corrado forum sticker?
-
I personally prefer the book, easier to work with when your messin about with your car. Bit of oil never hurt a book ;) It's more technical than a haynes, and has exploded diagrams. What corrado do you have? The bentley doesn't cover all of them, and is LHD based for the USA.
-
Yeah, bearing, hub, driveshaft etc You don't need a torque wrench for it really (we didn't have one that has a hight enough scale) - we just did it up to the FT setting with a metre long bar.
-
Nah, you don't have to remove the hub nut to take the disc off. Taking the stuff off you described is enough.
-
I was told it can affect the Radio too if it's busted. Think it was NickVR6 said that.
-
IIRC there's no difference in OBD1 and OBD2 bottom ends, it's all in the inlet mani, MAF, TB etc Nope, all corrado's were made OBD1. I think the OBD2 came in with the Golf Highline.
-
I bled mine with the ignition off too.
-
Dunno, but I've got my CC removed and one of the pipes ticks loudly now (the larger one) I'm looking for a solution to this too
-
Feckin hell, someone suggests a shop that we actually have on the Isle of Man!!!
-
Looking to buy a Dremel, which is the best model to go for? Obviously cordless would be easier to use, but is it practical/powerful enough? And if anyone knows where to get one cheep...
-
I had a dream last night that someone had sanded down half your car. I also dreamed that I was in prison and was watching football. Wonder what that one could symbolise?
-
I haven't made an offer yet, feel free to PM him.

Gunsons eezi-bleed
-
Oh right, I was interpreting it wrong. :cuckoo: This is for her Polo, I already got my ICE sorted, remember?
-
We were fine after using a Gunsons, changed all the hoses and put DOT5.1 in, no probs after.
-
PM'd :) I do have a Profile 4 Ultra in my C, so I know how good they are.
-
Been looking already, I'll just keep my eyes peeled. Whatcha mean? She's not imaginary... honest.
-
My missus doesn't have the same spending power as Wire, looking for a decent 4 channel amp for £100-120, do you reckon 2nd hand is best, or a new cheapie?
-
I really wouldn't trust a fixed one myself, I know there are companies that offer it, but I wouldn't get it done. It would be a weak part of the wheel.
