Right Heros. There are two types of Audi A3 rear hub: One has a 30mm inner diameter of the bearing, one has 32mm. my 2007 has a 30mm diameter. but you have to get the correct one!

[MrWinny]

One question, is it the same process with the front end or for that i need a press? ( it is 2.0 tfsi quattro 8pa)

[davidalexhughes]

Excellent video, you chaps make it look very easy.

[joemaxey]

Great video - only improvement would be to tell us torque's for various bolts - thanks!

[TomaxSin]

Why 155nm? Where did you get those numbers from? I and all garages that I had to deal with torqued it up to 180nm plus 180 degree turn. 3/4" or 1" 40 inch long breaker bars were used for this.

Is there a reason you remove the caliper bracket?

The rear brake discs can be removed without taking it off on my 2010 A3.

Just bought from you guys rear wheel bearings for my Audi A3 8p. Thank you for the tutorial!

[sebrura]

Try a rear wheel bearing change on a Quattro. Massive PITA getting the XZN M12 bolts out.

[ochriso]

I've snapped 3 bits undoing the bearing bolt.. any tips on how to remove any better?

[davehicklin]

Music is way too loud it spoils the whole video

[Tuchh]

Didn't need to remove the caliper bracket on my 2005 8pa Audi a3 2.0tdi..

[ArtyTheNewOne]

yo i recently installed a new rear wheel bearing A3 8p1 2.0 tdi BKD the new bearing has play in up and down motion is it the hub ? is that normal or should I be worried i torque it to160 165NM just to be sure

[leratodineka]

I recently changed the rear wheel bearing and it still had the humming noise, i then changed the toe to out on one side and it stopped humming but the car was unstable so i had to return the toe to its original position. i took it in for wheel alignment, toe and camber adjustment and the humming is still there. Any advices?

[dylancarter]

How did you lock the hub when you cracked the spline bolt going thru the middle?

[alyasbungo]

Hi. Can I please get the exact size of the spline bit socket. When I search up xzn 16 I get m6, m8, m10, m12 5/16"

[csud]

You missed telling people how to lock the rear hub when cracking the bolt to undo it

[Wangsian]

Your mechanic is terrible. No TQ figures, removing none existing rust, using wd40 on parts where it won't do anything.
