Hello, I've just got a quick question. I'm looking to replace a rear wheel bearing, and was wondering if vcds is needed for the electric parking break to just to the bearing. I'm not doing any brake work, so it would just be the caliper being removed from the rotor. I hope I explained the...

I'm sure this has had to have happened to someone and I think I know how I'll fix it but here it goes: 2005 1.8t 4 motion, had front end rumblings, driver side out cv boot split in half and wheel bearing on the way out. Axle is out. Got out my trusty Harbor Freight Wheel bearing kit (the one...

So, I was working on the wife's car tonight, 4 hours of just nothing but pure hell. I got the passengers side suspension back on the car, yeah 4 hours for that. (we need some new smileys - I need one with a gun to the head) I swear putting that suspension on tonight was like reeling in a 600lb...

I'm more than likely going to be doing my wheel bearings (front) in the very near future. I have a shop press, but if anyone has done them before, could I kindly get the size of the insert I need for the press? I have various sizes, but would be up the creek if I didn't have the right one with...

I bought my 2010 Passat 2.0T Passat wagon with about 32k miles and have been generally pleased with it, with the exception of this roaring noise from the front end. When I slow down, starting around 30mph and ending around 10mph, there is a pronounced roar from the front end. While it was...

So i want to upgrade to forged rods. NOW, would if be safe to just pull the head off, remove the oil pan, and replace the rods and bearings just like that, or should i cut the crank and put oversized bearings? i really dont want to cut the crank if i can just drop in the rods. Opinions?
