A great video, but the loud, garish music is annoying. Drop its volume considerably, or cut the music completely.

A good video, personally, I'd use grease, as protection on the nuts / bolts, after fitting, rather than WD40, grease stays where its put .

Why are you spray it the heads of bolts?

VW spare parts are extremely expensive. Never would buy a German car again. It's a racket.
