4:41 You cleaned the steering rack and greased it. VAG group service manual says DO NOT LUBRICATE the steering rack. If no grease film is visible on the steering rack, the steering gear has to be replaced completely. Would you happen to know why? Thank you.

What is an average torque, when using the exzenter tool? Usually it is given with 70 Nm. I guess it should be a bit less due to the excentric position of the tool. But how much?

My question is: Why is that engineers made difficult and complicated thing to work on? On my car, I found that the inner tie rod has a round shape and there's no way to use even a pipewrench due to difficult access.

Writing disappears too fast and actions are too brief. No need for the mechanic to wave his hands around like giving a conference speech. Cheers
