Changing lower control arms

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

Bought some new ones with poly bushes to fit, to get rid ofnthe noise.

 

Just reading through the guide and it mentions pushing the gearbox away with a special tool, if you have the 0D9 DSG.

 

I have a DQ250 (MK3 2017 vrs), but my build data doesn't say if it's the 0D9, but googling seems the DQ250 is the 0D9.

 

Can anyone confirm that?

 

Pain in the you know what if it is.....was going to change this weekend.

Tell me your VIN and I probably can.

DQ250, type 0D9 or 02E

One of them is for all wheel drive. But which is which?

Not 100% sure but 0D9 would be for AWD...

I have the DQ250 box, and can confirm the gearbox needs pushing out the way to do the lower control arms.

Done them today, bought a ball joint splitting tool to make life easy, but it didn't fit! Doh.

 

One came apart ok, the other was very annoying haha.

 

All done, tracking done.

 

All squeaks from going over bumps appear to have disappeared!

You know, I've only just realised from reading this, that the creaking my car was making has gone! I'd just got used to it over the years, but now I changed the control arms, no more squeak! I asked skoda multiple times while it was still under warranty, but they always said there was nothing wrong... This is why I don't trust garages.
