Hi
Just replaced the hub bearing on my 300 tdi put it all back together but I cant fit the shim, behind the circlip. Have I done something wrong?. But I can fit the circlip. Is this alright?.

depends if you need it. you will have to measure the backlash and fit appropriate shim to suit.

I have run mine for about 2 years now without adjusting the shims each time i have changed the bearings (about three times)and i think, no im sure, the play is greater than .25mm in my opinion it wont kill it running without for a few weeks, i would just order a few from somewhere and do the job when they get here.

Run it for a short while, then check again.
