Brakes on a VW Jetta

I enjoyed the commentary Nestor. I missed a few videos so it's good to see you again. Oh crap, no oil in the engine is bad news but your smart for getting the customer educated on the possible future issues.

I hate to say it but typical women with vehicles. Run it out of oil and tons of lights on. Then get it checked out when they want to go on a long trip. Not when the noise started. Not when the first or second light came on. Lol

timing chain tensioner failure

Sure it wasn’t the vacuum pump? lol

Great video Nester! Some like a timing issue with that Saturn. But it didn’t sound good good either way….

Great content Nestor! Hope all is well.

Nice video! I like the details. Do you still do live streams?

as was said before, cut the head off a bolt to hang a wheel.

I just bought one with the turbo diesel!

The roadtrip should be to the dealer to trade it in

I appreciate your videos and content. Awesome work bro

I agree on brakes being gravy 99.9 percent of time. I woulda said 100 percent befor i got rear pads and rotors on a 2012 sonata. Im in upstate ny remeber. With this car some asshole design it so in order to get rotor off the bottow bolt is bhind the control arm and u have to take the bolt out of that and in order to get the bolt outta the contol arm u gotta take the bolt outta shock. Unreal. Anyways i stupidly pulled the control arm out of its place completely when i only had to move it back to gain littlerally like a half inch. Ill tell u what getting that control arm lined bake up to get the bolt through is no fun. Plus up bere im battling rust which i have to admit this car wasnt bad but if u ever have to do this just move the control arm back in its braket a hair to gain wht u need. Dont pull it out cause its a nightmare lining back up. I was throwing tools and screaming and i deal with alot of shit up here man. Thats no lie. And i have a lift and every specialty tool u can imagine to make life easier. This job humbled me for sure.

Bro you never told us you worked at a dealer ??

What about the newer voltswaggons for the caliper bracket it’s a 14 point triple square socket.. I had to buy them sockets for euro cars.. never liked German cars Audi’s are nice but never buy one Mercedes bmw Volkswagen expensive junk.

Almost all brake jobs are the same, except for early 90's, and 80's, Mercedes Benz are a bit different.
On the W123 and W126, in order to remove the rotor you have to remove the wheel bearing cap and nut, thus you expose the wheel bearing. Once the nut is loosened and removed, the tapered roller bearing has to be preloaded and "set" within a certain tolerance with a dial indicator.

Maybe that's how all old cars are?

Mercedes = no remove calipers. Just pop the pins and pull the pins. Compress the calipers and pop the pads in. easy.
