VW 1.8t ALUMINUM COOLANT FLANGE UPGRADE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Coolant leaks where very common on the mk4 1.8t and Audi 1.8t TT. The composite gets weak and brittle over time and causes coolant leaks. Add on to that engine oil leaking on to the housing will make it worse. Eurowise developed an aluminum upgrade kit for your 1.8t.

More 1.8T videos would be great
YAY MK4 1.8t! Hope to see more. :D
Very cool about time someone came out with a kid like this. I definitely see the oil leak is causing these problems myself.
Be sure to file down the cast aluminum edges on these parts. Some of the cheaper coolant flanges have chunks of cast inside the flanges them, which easily break off.
I got my set from Urotuning and it's by far the best maintenance/reliability modification I've done to my car. Highly recommended! Great video.
how pathetic when another company has to build your own replacement parts because they are so poorly made from the factory.
Amazon sells this same kit for like 25 bucks same quality comes with the new screws gasket
Definitely looking into this since my mk4’s favorite hobby is blowing through all the connector pieces for funsies
I have metal shavings in my coolant reservoir 😂 dealing with the coolant system in the TT 225 is such a pain. I need these flanges!
Loving your 1.8t. I'd also like to add your rubber hoses are not a Lifetime item in your car, be it for the coolant, air (vacuum) or oil they all fail and usually, you're far home when they do. So if you are investing in your peace of mind with these aluminum parts don't short on the other wear and tear parts. Their failure will cost you more money sooner rather than later and if you own a VAG vehicle, buy quality parts from a reputable supplier, while many great things come from China, cheap low quality knock-offs are not.
Good stuff, pretty cool theirs options like this available
I've been dealing with this issue the past month or so. Ordering one this weekend. Thanks!
I wish they made these for the mk3 ABA motors they make all the good stuff for the vr6. Ive had the car for 5 years now and gone through atleast 5 of these. Tried a fancy water pump gasket maker on a new one last night we'll see how it lasts
I was using a pvc delete and I had to upgrade to a catch can.. cause it leaked all over this housing on mine .. caused the seal to leak ..now i have a bullet proof system and it looks fancy..
my distribution pipe just went out last night lol. There was about a 1" hole right on the top. Let's just say coolant is everywhere!
Vw should have put this on the car to began with!
Wicked great upgrade!!! Totaling got to recommend it to my customers
I've had a slow leak from the flange on my 1.6 golf mk3 for a few years (6 years), but I guess it's time to fix it soon...
Charles... thanks for keeping the video under 3:18! LOL... D'oh!
+Thomas EXOVCDS hahaha. Any time.
I'd love to know what material the factory plastic from VW is. It does perfectly fine when it's new, but time seems to turn it into a brittle sponge. Every bit of plastic coolant pipe on my 19 year old VR6 smooshed into oblivion when I rebuilt the top end a few years back!
Exactly what I need to do! Thanks for the info
Man I don't miss workin on VWs 😀
make sure your O-ring INSIDE the quick connect hose (hose with metal clip) is not flattened. I replaced a similar part on my 1.8t A4 and it leaked and i had no clue what it was.
FYI, the coolant flange on the drivers side will not fit properly on my 03 Jetta 1.8T with an automatic. The factory fitting exits through the side to the transmission heat exchanger while this one exits through the bottom which puts your small coolant line right on top of the shift cable mount of the starter. I did manage to make mine work but I will need to watch the hose for stress damage due to the hard bend.
The 1.8t with the jatco trans is a whole cluster jam of odd.
Love your videos. more 1.8T videos please.
Cool. Almost wish I had a 1.8t to put this kit on. "Almost" :)
Great review.
video suggestion -
how to correctly create a dirty overlay for testing.
what do u need? make due w/ spare parts? tapping into the ecm?
thanks for the great vids, ur helping make better techs out there!
OOOOOOO!!! I love that idea. I also love making dirty overlays. :)
Thank you for making all these great videos!
3 years later, what is the situation with aluminum oxidation? Is it actually still possible to remove the coolant sensor to change it?
Nicely explained. I just ordered a set for my GTi mk4 1.8T. Any tips on how to clean (or test) the combi valve on my GTi? where to find details? Thank you!
I need 2.8L B5 Passat video's, thanks.
How do you replace the temp sensor coolant flange on the 2.5? I can't find any info about it. I've taken off the nuts removed the metal pipe and removed the nuts behind them as well but it still won't come off
they need to make this kit for the TDI.On my 2003 jetta tdi I am on my 3rd one in 4 years.
Hey I have an 04 golf 1.8t and I’m getting the aluminum flange but the problem is the hose at the bottom is currently cracked and coolant leaks. Would you happen to know where I can get one of the hoses or where that hose connects to so I can find it?
Anyone have a problem with the coolant temperature flange connecting straight to the engine block on the TT 225 engine? This is the flange that has the sensor attachment. The piping is a bit different than the stock OEM one, and hits parts in the engine bay.
That's why im here, did you find a fix? His kit came with bolts but mine is studded with 10mm nuts on it. The first time around the paper gasket disintegrated, just put a new one on and it's now a slow drip instead of a huge leak. Any idea what the issue could be??
I wish they made this for the AMB. 😕
Currently chasing a coolant leak...FUN! I've got a plain mk4 2.0L, I wants this kit!! Seriously, will this work on my mk4? It's not a 1.8t and I hate plastic parts 😒
Wtf... gotta love Vw :)
More 1.8t video please 😊
I been looking for the coolant outlet for an Audi TT Quattro 2001 mk1 any idea where can I find it
Where can i find a part number? Im looking for one of those three parts but cant find the number someone please help
Great video..new to VW's..
Just ordered this. Would you recommend using high temp silicone or the paper gasket being enough?
i used high temp silicone on my 04 jetta
about fucking time. i bought 2
Does this work for the auto transmission to? I know that flange in plastic is for that manual transmission
I have Audi TT 225 and i dont have that 3 way junction piece...and the piece that holds the temp sensor is not excatly that shape:)...so be careful
Where can I get that aluminum coolant resivior? Beautiful car, awesome video!
Got a repair vid for this part? Just had mine bust in by b5.5 passat because of the polar vortex.
My radiator just blew on my mk2 gti 1.8t swap. Has original 16 valve style radiator which is 12.5”x30” or so. Do you have any suggestions for a better radiator with dual fan. Need to order one aSAP. Please help with brand and model if possible or something decent quality with better cooling
I've yet to come across a 1.8 that hasn't had a coolant leak somewhere
Had mine off recently and has a rubber gasket ring that fits in the back of it
Hey man. Thank you for the video.
I drive a 1.8T polo gti 9n3.
What's the purpose of the coolant hose flange besides holding the coolant sensor?
Hey I love that set up on that yellow vw ..how can I make it the same
I wonder if you could 3d print one of them plastic pieces
I had the same issues on my mk3, different car and engine. But same issue and plastic broke the new plastic one as well.
Yeah I think all the plastic coolant flanges are pretty fragile
Humble Mechanic can you recommend using Permatex silicon gasket with theses or is it better to just use the o ring and have clean surfaces?
Does these come for a eurovan with a 2.5lt 5cyl?
I have a mk6 jetta 1.8t se and found my two heater core tubes cracked in three places. my coolant is slowing going lower. my AC and Heater still work but when I drive the coolant leaks and makes small amounts of white smoke from the hood. I can go ahead and just replace the tubes then flush and refill the coolant right?
now why couldn't the OEM do this out of metal!!
do they make these for the 2015 2.0 TSI?
cost
I'd gladly pay the $500 more for parts that will last the life of the vehicle...
+Nick Pausch it doesn't really work like that for the manufacturer.
i have a question i just picked up the same flange im thinking about tapping it and installing an aftermarket digital thermostat sensor for better watch on the temp what type of sealer would you use on the flange when tapping a hole to thread the brass sensor on thanks ?
Will this work on a '00 New Beetle 1.8 T with Auto Transmission? I see a comment below that it didn't work on an '03 1.8 T Jetta very well and everything is soooo squished into that Beetle.
Hi I bought a Volkswagen Passat 2002 1.8 and the man wasn't been honest. But the car overheats and waste the antifreeze all the time I have to buy one mostly every second day. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with it?? Thanks I will appreciated
I have an 02 beetle with the 1.8 turbo engine. The flange that attaches to the head in your video looks different than mine. I’d like to get an aluminum upgraded one if there is one available. Any suggestions?
Does not fit my 2003 Audi TT 1.8 turbo. The line you show coming off the bottom, actually cones out the side.
Hey,
good vid thanx.
I'm a noob. I've never worked on a car in my life. But I have an 2001 Audi TT quattro 1.8 225HP
i'm not going to pay Audi to do it, and I'm not going to burn 125/hr rates in CDA because they say, 'oh he owns an Audi so let's jack his labour costs'
especially because it's an 2001 Audi TT.
So do you have a video which walks through the removal and installation of the flange?
i should pick one up immediately, so for now, plastic is what will happen, but of course, i am ordering a complete aluminum kit, because I don't want to have to do this again, and replacing seals is not replacing an entire unit.
This is the same as the one from USP Motorsports right? I just rebuilt my engine and changed the timing belt and other belts and waterpump and upon start up mine started leaking out the back, I replaced it with an OEM one though. is this better for the longterm?
I think it's similar. I think it is a better option for sure.
What about jetta 2.5 no video for water system or water pump.???!!
Haven’t had to do one in a while. Those pumps weren’t too common fail. They did leak from time to time
I dont think there is much in this space for the 2.5 yet. But that seems to be changing
Do a video on how to tell if you have a used 2.0t turbo the 2005 newer vw mine isn't leaking or bribing but not pulling hard no leaks
+Aaron Yauger I am not exactly sure what you are asking. I don't have any videos on the older turbos failing. They were less failure prone
+HumbleMechanic I have a 2006 vw Passat 2.0t FSI CAN you tell me if its needing replaced do a video on how they pull don't think mine is pulling hard
+Aaron Yauger get a boost gauge (obd2 one should work.. Or a good old mechanical one).. Bad turbo will not show as much boost but low boost could also mean leak elsewhere not necessarily a bad turbo. Or you can take off some hoses and check for play in the turbo.
Changed that and the sensor and now my car shifts hard.
Hey man I have a question but is there anyway I can send you a video? Some coolant line broke on my 2004 Gti 1.8t and I’m having a hard time finding it. It’s hard to describe but. I’m replacing the small coolant line that’s at the bottom of the coolant flange. And the hard line that that connects too is also leaking and it’s old. I don’t have the part number or anything
would this work for 1.8t 2002 passat or a 2003 vw beetle ?
@humblenechanic why won’t this fit my 2004 vw passat 1.8t 4 motion?
How much parts and labor?
I have a 1.8t with a blown head gasket causing it to overheat. K@W permanent metallic block sealer was recommended, do you agree? And if so is removing the thermostat necessary?
Dude do not waste the time that metal or paper head gasket is sandwiched between the head and the block no amount of magical anything will replace it, something poured in your engine will temporarily clog everything so in the end you’ll still replace that head gasket be it today or next week. With a good torque wrench, the special VW tool for head gasket bolts, a standard 12 point toolset with a long breaker bar, a new timing belt and water pump while you are in there, a proper head gasket kit and roughly 8 - 10 hours if you go really slow with no mechanical aptitude. Instructions are all over the internet. I did mine 6 weeks ago with printed instructions from online toke a few days to clean up the head and block before putting everything back together but actually it was pretty easy. Btw set all the timing marks TDC , just take your time learn your own motor or be prepared to write a fat check.
How long should you idle your turbo motor after a cold start and before shutdown to avoid damage due to loss of lubrication? Is this time different for diesels?
20 seconds cold start. Just to get oil in the head.. and if you push your turbo car then few mins idle (5 mins ) or 3 kilometers ride under 2000 rpm.
+busilica123 And yeah change your oil every maximum 15000km for TDI Pumpe Duse ( Take high quality oil )... Mine got 370 000km with regular and quality maintance (/TURBO IS STILL FIRST ONE )
The 4way flange that goes on the engine side is leaking and it costs 5eur (aftermarket) and 15eur from Audi. It has held for 19 years so replacing it with OEM, dont trust this paper gasket in the slightest.
Charles; my 1.8T MK4 Ibiza FR idles quite high at 1200rpm when I start the engine and drops to about 800rpm after about 30 seconds. I've always waited for that rev drop before I start driving, but I was wondering why it happens. Is it something to do with oil reaching the head?
standard cold start sequence
is this the same as a heating core conection
Different part.
I have a Passat b5.5 AWM 1.8T. I have yet to see a coolant leak do you think I should possibly consider this as an upgrade in the future for my engine?.
It's a different flange.
Does the company offer a version for the Passat 1.8t?
What if you don’t put the paper gasket on the flange will that cause problems ? I bought this set but I’m still overheating . The paper gasket ripped so I didn’t use it and steam is coming from that area but i what’s going on
Please help 😪😪😪
It’s probably the issue. I’m guessing g it’s leaking?
HumbleMechanic it’s not leaking at all just a lot of steam and it over heats pretty fast
I have an 04 1.8 that's leaking on the back on the engine all in the left top half of the trans. Does anyone know where it would be coming from
Probably valve cover/cam adjuster
hi mr humble mech. is this kit available for the a4 1.8t b6 series?
MR CT NGUYEN bump
Bump
do you know if they make these for the 2.0 slow engine of same vintage? I see a lot of coolant flange failures from the oe plastic ones now
For right now, it's only 1.8t. But I am sure that it could be made too.
They make them for the 2.0 now.
Is this available for the Skoda Octavia vrs Mk1 AUQ engine? Thanks
That I don't know. I doubt it. Well at least from Eurowise
There are $35 kits on eBay that look on par.
They may be on par. Maybe not. Sadly you only find out they arent when they fail.
HumbleMechanic one thing I noticed was a lot of excess aluminum from the molds that needed to be removed on eBay flanges. Probably not nearly as polished.
Sucks the link didnt work for me and the website was a bitch to get around. Anyone have the link for these?
try this one bit.ly/2sycweG
Is there anybody that makes this for the 2.0t fsi (it's in a b7 a4)? Or any way to adapt this one?
Not sure on the Audi side. There are some metal pumps for VWs. But I haven’t heard the best results from them
Does anyone make one of these for a 2003 1.8 beetle turbo S engine code AWP? My car makes 320hp after a complete APR upgrade and I want better parts.
Eurowise May have them.
I checked them, no dice. I don’t think anyone makes an improved part for the beetle.
is this compatible with the mkiii 1.8 non turbo?
Mk3 8 valve 1.8? No.
thanks
what does he mean by " an engine that was on the stand"? Would i need to be able to pull out the entire engine for this repair. the shop is trying to charge me $1800.00 for this repair.
The engine he showed (the rusty one) is removed from the vehicle... it's on a stand.
Engine does not have to be removed.
What year model is yours? Sounds way too much for that job.
+Thomas EXOVCDS '05 Jetta GLI MKIV
+Thomas EXOVCDS I guess it's the entire cooling system the shop was charging me for, flange and water pump
+TEZ-ONE There you go... water pump is the biggest labor cost.
That amount makes sense, sadly. I did the water pump on my MK4 Ibiza FR 1.8T and it's not a quick job. It is fun though.
I replaced my coolant flange just two days ago, second time in 2 years. To be honest, the 2 screw design on a fitting like that is a flawed design. People always over torque the fitting to get it to seal deforming the plastic resulting in a crack. I installed my new one with some Dirko HT Red and just nipped the screws tight. No leaks.
The alloy ones do look the part though ;)
👍👍👍👍
hey im looking to buy a 2001 1.8L beetle for my mother and I'd like to pick your brain about it please?
sure what you got?
hey, yeah it's got about 117000 miles on it a GLS turbo manual, almost looks like a 1/8th" aluminum skid plate that doesn't look factory under the front clip(just wondering if that was factory or not), it drives good but the body is pretty rough and the interior is about par with the body, it has some sort of buzz from an electrical motor(i think) after it's been turned off under the alternator/ac compressor area(is that the water pump or something?). i'm just wondering what to look for and such besides the normal universal things? i wasn't able to get it up on a lift but from what i saw the undercarriage looks alright besides the front bumper skirt is torn off probably from the alaskan winter driving with such a low car. one owner. oil & coolant looked good. i've got photos if you got someplace i could send them.
Mine just exploded
I pulled a water pump out of a Jetta one time, shaped exactly like a Swaztika. Lol
+Andrew Warkentin hahaha. Yikes
What would be great is if they would stop allowing creepy Joe Biden's commercials to play before I watch something that I'm trying to do without interruption
Man I’m with that. Keep the political ads off this biz!!!
