i had a post yesterday about this, it was just a branch off a tree, and it dented and scratched my hood, and the dent couldn't be removed. in the other post there was pics of it.

stop wishing my cars death!

and hiwords, its a 27mm iduno if thats what you meant or not, or if we're thinking of a different bolt. but yeah. and I'm putting in a new hub bearing ( i already have a press for it) and a new half shaft and I'm guna see if thats my problem. it just seemed weird that the whole car wouldn't move because of it.

my only thoughts would be that because of the awd system when one wheels slipping it gives power to that wheel? so my passenger side wheel was "getting no traction" because of the damages, and it shut off power to other wheels? or just plain wont give power to any wheels.
like i said before, it feels like its in neutral in all the gears.

 

its called sods law

 

im talking bout the allen bolt that holds the cv halfshaft to the hub/spindle. idk anywhere on the car that has a 27mm bolt lol.

 

27mm bolt is the bolt that attaches the knuckle too the half shaft, it brings the male female splines together, its right underneath the center cap of the wheels.

 

when i have it in first gear(5spd manual)it does not turn all the wheels...i know if it is in neutral it wouldnt. or are you talkin about some other kind of neutral gear? sorry if it is a dumb ? iam new to the quattro system.

 

the bolt to get at the bearing is a 17 allen... no idea about the 27mm. its in the center...

 

Allan key? now why would you need that the bolt/nut is 27 to 32mm

 

ay we're talking bout the same bolt. that's weird. mine was 17mm. my lugs bolts fit into the hole.

 

weird? i took it apart and got some parts, turns out everythings ok, the bearings fell out because the half shaft was out, and im guessing the engine rolled it out of the cv joint, and the clip that normaly holds it in slipped out.

 

so evrything is good now? did u grease the bearings b4 u put them back in?
