Best How to video on youtube.
Love your calm demeanor while working. Almost makes me want to become a mechanic...Almost! 👍🏻
Just replaced my fronts thanks to your video! Ty again!
How does the geometry of a tire change from a brake job?
To the best of my understanding through research, these are the torque specs and part numbers of the caliper bolts, which you are encouraged to replace, especially the guide bolts.
Front caliper mount bolt (190 Nm torque) (part N90948802)
Front caliper guide bolt (30 Nm torque) (part H5025W)
Rear caliper mount bolt (90 Nm torque + 90 degrees) (part N91168901)
Rear caliper guide bolt (35 Nm torque) (part 14130)
Thanks you! But are you sure it's 190nm for the mount bolt? That's roughly 140 ft lbs which seems like A LOT of force to me. I'm doing research right now trying to verify that
@@znismo1 pretty sure that's what it is based on multiple sources, but let us know if you find otherwise
@@lenschulwitz1934 I verified, and yes it is!
Caliper Bracket Bolts: 155 NM
Caliper Slide Bolts: 15 NM
Wheel Lug Bolts: 120 NM
Thank you for this video ✌🏼
+driftinthroughtime Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
rear caliper bracket bolts : 90 Nm
rear slide bolts : 35 Nm
@@redbach23tube rear caliper bracket bolts to 90 Nm, followed by an additional 1/4 turn
Thanks to 1Aauto for a successful brake job! Good stuff my guys.
Bought rear ones for my GTI. The website confirmed they'd fit, so i spent the 110$ on them. They didn't fit after spending a hour removing my old setup... sooo already upset. I was then told my return would also cost 40$... so I'm paying like 45% of the price of the item cause the 1aauto doesn't know what parts fit my car... very frustrating. I would not recommend buying parts from them if they're going to tell you "yes this fits." Then, when it doesn't fit, you're stuck paying for it
well organized information and good video work. much appreciated.
+panofish Thank you for your feedback!
Great video! I plan on using it when I install brakes on my car this week! One thing that would be nice is having the torque specs pop up on screen and in both NM and Foot lbs

+john summers Thanks for checking us out!
Before retracting brake caliper piston, wouldn't it be a good idea to open brake fluid reservoir cap?
Or alternatively, open the brake bleeder screw?
I mean, wouldn't you avoid damage in brake system due to rising pressure when retracting piston?
Great video - best I’ve seen yet 👍

Every VW I've owned (4), the brake pad wear sensor wire has been broken! So Annoying. Good Video!
Sorry to hear that! Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com +Darius Chappell
Is it the same process for back brakes?
Don’t you want to take the cap off the break fluid reservoir before you push the caliper piston back in??
Nope
Yes, you want to leave it sitting on top unless you want a brake fluid leak in the piston or a line and a mess on the floor.
I cant get the bracket bolts loose and now i am stuck. I have no leverage at the ground lol.
🎉 thanks for posting awesome
Lmao tell the camera guy to wait til after the video to eat chips
Thanks a lot for the video..
did you thoroughly wipe off the oil on the rotor with brake clean.. thats important. diyers watching this need to know that
+Joshua Vaughn Thanks for the tip!
great video, as always!
I have a 2013 Polo GTI 6R 1.4 and I have the same braking system, for some reason I don't have a brake pad wear sensor on the orginal OEM pads but the new ones I bought have sensors, can anyone help?
Isn't the sensor cable connector already broken? I can see two conductors peeking out right there where it turns to a wire.
Do you need to regrease the caliper slider pins ?
Is greasing threadlocked bolts even a good idea?
@@lenschulwitz1934 anti-seize should be used on all bolt threads so you can get them off in the future along with the rotor mounting area.
If I'm only replacing the rotors, do I only need to take off the bracket and not need to separate the caliper?
+macaron3141592653 Thanks for checking us out! It would be easier to remove both the caliper and bracket in order to make sure everything is set in correctly on the reinstall. If there is a pad that is slightly off from not separating the two it may cause extra drag and uneven wearing of the rotor and the pad.
The torque specs differ from what I read in a manual. Guide pin, is 30 Nm, brake carrier-to-wheel bearing housing bolt(bracket), is 190 Nm.
That's what I read in Haynes too, specifically:
For the front guide pins: 30 Nm (22 ft-lbs)
For the rear guide pins 35 Nm (26 ft-lbs)
For the front mounting bolts: 190 Nm (140 ft-lbs)
For the rear mounting bolts: 90 Nm (66 ft-lbs) followed by an additional 90 degree turn
nice
Is it me or do I see pitting where the cross drilling is?
Good job putting the rotor on backwards. The slots are supposed to be in the other direction to vent brake dust out and away from the surface of the rotor... instead of how you installed it which will direct the dust straight toward the center hub.
Thanks for your comments and for watching! +Anthony Camardo
just to confirm. Is the rotor installed backwards? Does it mean that the pattern is not supposed to digging in forward? Can you confirm?
I'm not the only one to think this, thank you
Thanks for mentioning that because I was sitting here thinking i was crazy thinking "aren't those slots and holes going in the wrong direction?". Or maybe we're both crazy. Good instructional video otherwise.
Pretty sure they guy did it right...
Gonna take off the tyre
+MrApplejuice3 Thanks for checking us out!
You dont sell the rear set?
+Gustavo Calzada Here is the part number for the rear brakes 1ABFS01259.
it's 200NM for the 21 bracket Bolts and 30NM for the 7mm slide pins... 155 and 15 ist completely wrong. Volkswagen Deutschland gibt das so vor.
Never ever buy a Volkswagen
Or Ford, or Dodge, or GM... Wait what was your point again?
