    I worked on VW and Audi for 22 years, and this was very common, 9 Times out of 10 this is caused by a blown oil cooler, pressure testing reveals no leaks and will not leak into oil pan.
    It’s a easy fix, good luck with it brother!

    • @spelunkerd
      @spelunkerd Год назад +22

      I have no experience with these engines but pressures in the cooling system were so high a hose blew off, and he also showed cylinder 1 was unusually clean. The volume of milkshake coming back out the reservoir was impressive! Wouldn't a small leak inside the oil cooler simply cause the milkshake without the drama? I thought high pressures are a sign that you've got cylinder head pressures inside the cooling system.... After all, oil pressure from the oil pump is usually only about 20-40 psi, cooling pressure is 15 psi, so you shouldn't be blowing hoses off....

      @Rainman Ray: First, about the car, I'm gonna say that the Vetta has a cracked cylinder head -- I don't think it's just the gasket. Why? Because all the plugs looked the same.
      As for the difference between "engine" and "motor," they usually refer to the actual potential energy that gets converted: Electricity to mechanical energy; and a fuel of some kind, to mechanical energy. In both cases, the conversion is potential, _p,_ converted to kinetic energy, _k:_ P --> K, depending on the process, which determines loss of energy, such as friction.
      However, engines are more than just gas and diesel; they can also include liquified natural gas (LNG), steam (i.e., "steam engine," which actually wasn't used just on trains, but also in mining, and even on a car a century ago called the "Stanley Steamer." That company today is a carpet cleaning company. And, Jay Leno has not one, but 3 Stanley Steamer cars in his garage!), and even "wood gas", alcohol, and kerosene.

      Even if it’s wrong ? Doubt this is a head issue and most likely stems from a leaking oil cooler. It now may be more of an issue due to overheating and clogging of cooling system but almost always these suffer from oil cooler failure. While a flush of entire system and replacement of oil cooler and lines repaired may fix it the chance of trouble free service is slim.

    I once had an Army buddy come from Minnesota, traveling to Missouri to come visit me, when he did;
    the Datsun truck did a WHOLE bunches of overheating!!! Well, upon a good inspection, I found out
    that he had a bad head gasket. Well, there was no antifreeze down in the engine oil, nor was there any
    oil found in the coolant or the radiator. There where no signs of freeze plug issues either! There was no
    water pump signs of pissing out all over the place either! So I went over these things with my buddy
    step by step and methodically! Since he wasn't mechanically inclined nor did he have boat loads of
    money in his bank account and he just barely had enough for the trip and back, I proposed to him a
    solution of "Water Glassing" that bad boy of an engine with a double dose, and flushed the rest of the
    coolant out and then completely took the thermostat out. The thermostat had been tested as well
    out of the car and it was still good too! So, there was either a hairline crack in the cylinder head and/
    or a head gasket problem or both. This was back in 1980. As I said, water glassing took place, and
    upon putting the thermostat housing back on with new gasket and no thermostat. The coolant system
    received some water pump sealant and lubricant along with new coolant and new radiator cap too!
    For the remaining time of his visit I had him ram around to see some other of his friends to see if things
    would hold before his return to Minnesota. I made sure that he had at least a couple anti freeze jugs
    to be able to carry water in as well. All was a go for him and his wife as they returned to Minnesota.
    The truck still made it in one piece. So, this quick fix took hold pretty good just when my buddy called
    me from Minnesota. Needless to say, he either sold it or traded it for another vehicle. He wasn't about
    to try and repair that truck no how and no way! He was however quite pleased that he made the entire
    trip back. He even drove it for at least two more weeks until he found another vehicle to replace it.

    In my personal opinion, it doesn't matter which way it's called Engine or motor. That is an argument that's unneeded because they are relatable and everyone knows to a point that that's not something to really argue about with small differences. I hope that made sense. Lol. One of the three cars that I work on (because my buddy thinks he knows cars and does not🤦‍♂️) is a 2013 VW passat 5 cylinder, (I currently can't remember size of motor) has been going thru problems of over heating. The heater core, the water outlet housing, thermostat, system has been flushed twice. But yet it's still overheating, there's a little of dried coolant on top of the trans right under the water outlet housing. It's not leaking from there either, I've sat and watched it run for almost an hour straight each time and can't find any leaks anywhere! The only code that comes up on either of my scan tools is a permanent EVAP code. I do know quite a bit when it comes to working on cars, seeing I've been working on them for 31-32 years now. This car has me feeling like I'm constantly walking into a brick wall😂

    Don't worry too much Ray, those spark plug wires ALWAYS break. They aren't cheap, but the dielectric grease will keep new ones from sticking.
    I have a 2003 VW New Beetle with the 2.slow.
    Also, anything plastic breaks. I was surprised that none of those plastic/rubber parst didn't disintegrate when you looked at them.
    I had the thermostat housing crack on me and lose coolant. I was able to nurse it home by keeping it full of coolant, then later I had it towed to a shop.
    I asked the guy, since he was all up in there, to please do the timing belt and water pump.
    It was a good thing I did!!!
    It turns out, that cracked thermostat housing SAVED my ENGINE!!!!! The timing belt was shredded, and the water pump came out in pieces. All that, the tow bill, and full replacement of the outer belts cost me $1100. My serpentine belt is grooved on both sides and is over a C-note alone. I also asked him to make sure the replacement water pump had a METAL impeller! Always replace with better than OEM!!! The OEM is FREAKING PLASTIC!!!!
    Because Volkswagen.
    PS...
    IMHO....
    It's ENGINE. Because engine is actually the shortened version of "internal combustion engine".

    Based on what the coolant looks like, someone put the wrong coolant in that vehicle. I had a 2002 VW beetle with the 1.8l and I did a lot of damage putting "universal" coolant in it as a top up.
    I drive a 2018 Peterbilt 579 with a MX 13. It comes from the factory with TRP extended life Nitrate free Organic Acid coolant. One of our other drivers put a coolant in it that wasn't compatible. The coolant frothed up and looked like it had whipped cream in it. The factory coolant was not compatible was not compatible with what was put in it and it became corrosive destroying the water pump, thermostat, sensors, gaskets ECT. The truck spent a week and a half at a dealership getting flushed and having parts replaced.
    There is no universal coolant, watch what you put in your car. If you mix coolants to get by, flush and refill as soon as possible to avoid damage. If your going to change from factory coolant to something that claims to meet manufacturer specifications, flush before you fill!!!!!

    Not sure about the newer 2.0's. However the factory ones from the early series used a plastic impeller on the water pump. They would give up and crack apart. As noted the solution was to change out the water pump at the same time as the timing belt would be done. (And after market water pump with a steel impeller would be strongly recommended.)
    The huge mess also screams "Antifreeze additive"... Blocks the radiator and compounds the mess.
    Last comment: When servicing the cooling systems in these engines. It's imperative to only use the factory coolant. DO NOT use any "universal coolant" or "Works on all".. Because that's 100% baloney. Some oddity about VW engines when 'works on all' coolant is used= The water jacket, hoses, radiator, every internal cooling part slowly gets a layer of this white paste build up. Last 2.0 VW engine we had apart used that universal garbage. We wound up replacing the bulk of the cooling system as it was choking off the small ports in the radiator. (Ever do a radiator in a VW beetle? Picture what should be an easy radiator job, and add disassembly of the entire front of the body clip.)

    As a VAG specialist I would have lubricated the plug holes first to reduce the tapping force needed. Adding a bit of lube makes all plugs slide right out. With these small blocks it is best to cover the intake with a rag or your hand to reduce the annoying noise coming out of it. At the end of service it is common to mount the intake properly.

  • @joe2mercs
    @joe2mercs Год назад

    Mayonnaise on the inside of the oil filler lid or coolant expansion tank is a blown gasket, but might not be the root cause. Generally if there is coolant circulation failure due to broken belt or coolant pump failure the engine runs hot, the cylinder head warps and the head gasket no longer seals. Once the mayonnaise circulates then everything needs flushing out. Not having mayonnaise on the oil filler lid probably means that water did not get on the oil but it is no guarantee since when the engine gets hot any water in the oil steams off. The fact the coolant has blown out is also a good indicator that it did not blow into the oil.

When the head gasket blew it blew intermix all the way through the intake and into the air box. Good news is it only cost me $250 to get the head machined. Of course that was back in 2008.

    Hello Ray, I am sure you know this already, but just in case. All German vehicles are picky, there are generally no cheap fixes, except air cooled beetles. Even my little A2 diesel was picky about prechamber cup placement. So, remember, if a part is known to fail replace it while you have the engine apart, i.e. even if the oil cooler looks good, (i don't know how anyone could tell on this vehicle) replace it. Just finished a Tiguan Turbo and water pump, I told the customer he needed to replace the intake and injector seals (DI Engine) if he wanted me to do the job, this is how to avoid a comeback in 6 months.

    Ray, you need a cooling system pressure tester-if it was a blown head gasket you just let it sit under pressure for 15 mins and watch the coolant run down the cylinder walls with a borescope. You might want to upgrade your borescope too, you can get one with an HD camera with a side camera built in for less than $150 online, a high quality image makes a big difference when you see a chunk of carbon on top the piston and can't make heads or tails if it's something else. ALSO, I think on that year range the cooling systems on passats and jettas are really bad about electrolysis, heater cores are readily available through the dealer because they clog up and lack heat output. Our local dealer told us something along the lines of if the car needs it's 3rd heater core then they quote a radiator and engine due to lack of flow. I think you're in FL so I'm guessing people just don't use the heater as much there and may not be as known of an issue. Also ALSO, those spark plug boots are made to be removed using a tool(of course), look up a CTA 3055. I only know this because a customer supplied one for spark plug replacement on a Eurovan VR6 with waste spark ignition, he got new plug wires anyway because they had carbon tracking I think-had to take out the cooling fans to do it if I remember correctly, it was dumb. I've never had to diag a failed oil cooler for these engines, or any VW so far fortunately, I've also never seen a head gasket failure on these 2.0L but if they ran it out of coolant then it's definitely possible. Would love to see more of this car if you go deeper into diagnosis, I'm not totally convinced the cyl 1 piston was completely clean, as you were pulling the scope out the left side of the piston looked like it had similar carbon build up to the others but you would know better since you've been in there on and off camera. I don't get these engines in that often, mostly the TSI's and those have PLENTY of issues, so I find this case interesting. Anyway don't let it get to your head just keep up the good work 👍
