Hi
re: 2011 Tiguan 2.0 ltr Diesel. FWD

I am getting confused as to what bolts I need for the Rear Axle control arm, as per pic attached.
I originally had N10640501 for the Control arm to stub axle and WHT000228 for the eccentric bolt for the control arm to the sub chassis...

Hey Axle, I drive a Polo

I have looked through all the specs I can find with no luck, where can I find the maximum front and rear axle weights for a Petrol Tiguan with 17" wheels and no adjustable suspension? I did see a link posted for ADR compliance but I can't find it now and I think it will be listed there.

Hey,
I need a new drivers side axle, so the.. long?.. one? I should check that.

Anyone got any recommendations? As usual through a dealer is pretty expensive.

When I have previously done some work underneath on the 2009 Passat CC 2.0L TDI I have had access to a pit (of sorts). Anyway, now I just want to do an oil change (have done several before with the pit) and so I thought I'd use my axle stands (which I use for my other vehicles) on the front end so...

in my effort to figure how to use axle/jack stands - i discovered additional points, not covered in the manual, or anywhere else on the web.

since the jack and stand can't fit side by side, i had to find alternate positions.

happy to b corrected if these are NOT jack points....

folks, i'm trying to figure out what the axle weight is, for the purpose of buying car ramps.
based on the stamp (image below) on the door pillar, i'm assuming:-
1. front total = 1060 kg - hence each front axle is 530 kg
2. rear total = 1050 - hence each rear axle is 525 kg
...

Anyone have any experience with these? Not sure, but think there are two - one on front and one on rear axle. I just noticed the one on the rear axle (just behind rear passenger wheel) is broken - sheared off. I now need to fit a new one - I assume it stops the lights from blinding people if you...

Hi all,

As the title reads: What size Triple Square Driver for 4Motion cv drive axle to gearbox bolts?

I've been sniffing around, either 8mm or 10mm can't pin down which one though!

Just a quicky, i need to find out the axle weights for my Passat before purchasing lowered springs. I don't have the car with me at the moment so i can't check the chassis plate.
Does anyone know of the top of their head, or are able to take a snap of their plate for me?

Help...

Hi all I'm looking at a set of Coilovers the company has asked for the front load axle load does anyone know where this plate is? I can't find it.
thanks guys

Hey Tiggers,

I'm on the hunt for a used axle back, so if any of you are contemplating an aftermarket rear exhaust, I'm open to buying your old one, I basically just want the rear muffler for my exhaust tinkering on my Yeti. Petrol / Diesel doesn't matter, all the same from the cat back...

I was just wondering if anyone knew is there is any difference between the axle size and stud patterns on the 6R compared to the 9N3? I am getting some new wheels and I have seen them fit on a 6R and I'm hoping that they will fit on my 9N3.

Cheers

Track guys might find this interesting. I found this article by Chassis guru Mark Ortiz. Its a series of questions and answers regarding how to best setup a balanced FWD macpherson strut/beam axle race car (not autocross). In other articles he goes into a lot more depth on the drawbacks of lowering...

So I got woken up at 2am this morning by cops, who told me my R had been hit by an 18 year old in a jeep wrangler, who somehow drove over a large roundabout, broke his axle (?), and managed to travel 150m down the road into my parked car... I've got two panels of damage, and probably a bent axle. Massively...
