Thanks for the video, the best and most straight forward out there.
On my 1.9tdi automatic, managed to do the job from the top only and did not need to remove battery.

everyone, this is the most straight forward video for this I have found. Looks identical to the 07k 2.5l as well

This is so useful - doing this job this weekend. I have the Golf manual already but you guys should think about doing videos for all the jobs in the manual - I would happily pay for that!

[@chrisbell5032]

Havent looked into this much but wouldnt the pos lead be red? Apparetly not.

[@HaynesManuals]

Not necessarily...

[@katherinefrances8350]

Why don't they say what size the nut is? I know how to take the nuts off but one is jammed so I need to know 100% what size spanner I'm using so I don't round it off
