Great Video!! Used this to remove my sump off my 1.4 mk6 golf. Don't be fooled though, This is no easy job. If you round the head of even one of these bolts, you are going to have a very bad day. I covered my hex key with an old, thin rag to make the key a super tight fit into the head of the hex bolt then lightly tapped it with a hammer as per this video to make sure it is seated all the way before slowly applying pressure to break the bolt free. This reduced the key from slipping and rounding the head. the electrical tape trick worked like a charm!
Just want to start by saying thanks heaps, you're a damn lifesaver. Cracked a hole in my sump and would've taken so much longer and much more difficulty to fix without this video!
I enjoyed watching that , useful . Gasket on my kia sportage is leaking . The Kia's looks easier to remove . Did my front and back discs and pads having watched video you made covering that job . I had two partially seized sliders on back brakes . Made me smile u comment about not living in a rusty part of the world . U video was a big help . Any way i'll go watch part 2 now .
Really fantastic video guys, I appreciated the quality of the filming (good lighting) and the good humour of the presentation style. I need re-seal the sump on my other half's Punto 188 1.2 16V so I'm watching a few vids to research. I realise this vid is for a dry sump (from reading the excellent description) so not really too relevant I guess, but an interesting watch anyway
MrCurry hi mate all saints are pretty much the same to be honest just make sure you use the correct sealer and you will not go wrong just be careful not to track anything between the sun and the engine and you will be fine thanks for watching don't forget get your hands dirty
Brilliant nice and light usually videos are dark and can't see a thing, brilliant bud keep them comming if u can do an oil pump removal on vw Audi seat skoda any of these that would help a lot of us with this common problem tidy job
My car is leaking ATF and was told it was my sump that was leaking nice to be able to watch this to know what the mechanics will actually be doing to my car 🙂
Kellie Bieda hi ATF fluid is either your power steering fluid or if you've got an automatic transmission this will not be coming out of the sump it's engine oil that's in the sump
I two had to take a sump off a pd engin witch they all must be the same as this one. And I wish i looked at this video because those two bolts you mentioned between the gear box were a mounting to clime when doing for first time.
Hi Bodgit. I recently bought an 08 plate Vauxhall vectra with the 1.8l VVT petrol in it. I did an oil change on it pretty much as soon as I bought it and found that the old oil filter had totally disintegrated as well as having horrible gloopy black oil. After doing the oil change, the engine has begun to develop a worrying rattle and diesel like sound when warm that sounds like it's coming from the top end. According to forums, the VVT phasers on these are a common problem and I was going to get them changed when I scrape up some money to do the cam belt (it's at 73K, recommended interval is 100k). One of the first things that I did was to clean the filters on the VVT solenoid valves but sadly that didn't help much. I've never seen the oil pressure warning light, though I had wondered if the crap from the disintegrated oil filter could have made it's way down to the pickup strainer and restricted it enough to cause reduced oil pressure but not enough to trigger the warning. My question is have you ever worked on these cars/ engines (z18xer) and if so, how easy is it to remove the sump and more importantly re fit and seal it again? Have you got any other words of wisdom, I'm worried about my engine but currently lack the means to do anything about it. :,-( Thanks.
hi mate the first thing I would definitely check is the oil pump so take off the sump and check the gauze to make sure it's not blocked also I would check the oil pump I have done a video on how to check it and check for damage that would be the first thing I would do because if you leave it too much longer you will damage your engine you might only need to clean the pickup or maybe just get a new oil pump which is not really as big a deal as it sounds let me know how you get on thanks
Thanks, cant do anything just yet because I've got no money and no good spot to put my car to work on it at the moment, but I think I'll go looking in the sump first when I do manage to get cracking with it. Unfortunately I've got a feeling it's going to be an exhaust off job, so could end up being a bit tricky to do without replacing anything. Thanks again for your reply and I'll let you know what happens.
Please tell me if vw has made it any easier on 2014 Octavia 2.0 DSG, had to replace alternator today cause of the dam faulty pulley. And noticed bad oil leak from the sump, leaving it draining over night, with it being DSG it still has a DMF am guessing & hopefully can turn crank to see & get access to the dam bolts. Have you done one on DSG pal ?
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Yes instead of some nice clothes - CDs and books by my favourite authors - just imagine my eyes lighting up as I undo the final piece of wrapping and find a shiny new sump. Rejoice.
Just done this job. The 2 hidden bolts next to the gear box could not be accessed. A flexible camera showed that the flywheel was covering part of the bolt head. After some head scratching realised that the flywheel must have a cutout to access these bolts. Moving the car backwards and forwards soon found place where a 5mm t bar could get them out.
Really great video, guys. Great detail and great tips to make sure you don't go wrong. I've got a VW Golf MK4 2001 and the oil pump warning light has started flashing at me. Can you suggest what the problem might be? On VW forums I've seen the issue could be the oil pump switch or the oil pump itself. No idea where to start investigating the problem.
Lance Bolton hi mate it could be a few problems it could be the oil also could be the oil pick up in the sump is blocked can also be the switch but it also can be the oil pump if you can get an oil pressure gauge and put it on this one tell you what isn't wrong if you have enough oil pressure then it's most likely your switch if not it could be your oil pump
Sounds like a process of elimination. I'll start with a pressure gauge and see what happens. Thank you for your help, I think you'll be heading from me again. Lance.
Hiya brother. I've got a 4motion. I'm leaking. It's a cracked sump. I've tried the chemical metal and that doesn't work, so it's a new sump unfortunately. Are the principles of removing the sump exactly the same with this video with my 2.8?
hi m8 i got a Treg astra est transverse engine its leaking oil from somekinda plate between the sump and ? the plate is butted up to the sump held in bt 3 bolts its not connected to the sump? it leaks when i am parked up any ideas..ta
My audi a3 is using too much oil, oil is burning the spark plugs are black I wondered if some one can put me in the right direction. Its 2006 1.6 bse engine.
Su S hi mate it could be loads of things piston rings valve seals PCV valve turbo wear in the engine you have to get it tested I'm fortunate you need to take it to someone who can test all these things and give you a proper answer there's no real shortcuts in this case
hi mate yes it would roughly be the same obviously might be a different shape and different bolts but the process is still the same I'm taking off and reseal in it thanks for watching get your hands dirty
Hello leon . is your 1/4 extension to the two difficult screws a straight extension or is it a 1/4 wobble extension ? My sump is leaking and i soon do this job .
William O'neill that's quite a big long list mate it could be loads of things bad maintenance bad rings bad valve seats bad valve oil seals wrong oil the list goes on and on would be too difficult for me to say as it could be all these things and more
Hi mate there is loads of different ways but like everything can take a long long time you are best off trying to use a six-sided socket you might be using a 12 sided socket which is not very good for this you might even need to drill it out and use easy outs and taps one of them things that just takes a lot of time and patience
@@bodgitandleggitgarage thanks for reply, sorry i should of wrote its a 5mm Allen bolt with a round head really hard to get at and i cant get the car high enough to get at it better, looks like gear box out just to sort out oil leak, now i know why they sold it..cheers.
@@Hasdac the easiest thing to do there is to try and get a splines peace into a socket and then you can Hammer that into the allen key but you've only got one chance or what you can also do is dill off the head this will release the pressure and you will be able to screw it out providing the threads aren't rusted into the housing
I presume you do this job for a living.. Why can't you just buy a long 5mm ball Allen socket? Because a) you're damaging the head of every gearbox bolt you're taking off and b) you're just creating unnecessary work for yourself with the time taken and struggle to remove those bolts with your current setup and then of course having to reinstall... And when you do reinstall chances are you're gona strip the threads for the holes where those 2 bolts go because you won't be able to get the bolt in straight... I mean honestly, you're making this job a lot worse than it actually is. With the 5mm long allen ball bit socket, it's an absolute piece of cake.

Bro thank you for the video, it saved my ass cause I was worried about rounding that bolt due to that angle
great video fella's! really put me in a good frame of mind to attempt the sump on my 1.4 polo.
Tommy Williams thanks mate thanks for watching glad I could help

The joys of owning a car mate
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Well such is life - a nice Christmas present for me - a brand new sump
@@ewaf88 I hope you have been good and you might get one on Christmas Day lol
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Yes instead of some nice clothes - CDs and books by my favourite authors - just imagine my eyes lighting up as I undo the final piece of wrapping and find a shiny new sump.

@@ewaf88 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah I can’t understand for the life of me why they use Allen bolts on a component that is so close to the ground and vulnerable to erosion.
Corrosion *
I would think they are not 5mm but 5.5 as I have a 5.5 Allan key on my ratchet set.handy and clear video though magic thanks.

Thanks for this comment, saved me alot of grief as I ran into the same problem
I know long time ago but is the 1.6 fsi mk5 the same or similar process? (Don’t have to remove exhaust? ) thanks again!

Brilliant cheers

hello mate would this be roughly the same process for the 2.8 v6 golf. thanks in advance

just tried to do this job and managed to snap a bolt on the sump, as well as a stud on the exhaust. so annoying

I cant remove these bolts, 2 weeks trying. Wd40, allen, extra long tool, bad bolts.
did you get them off mate

can factories just like stop using hex bolts. Honestly 😂
Nice set of bald tyres on the front an accident waiting to happen
