This video is an example of what makes RUclips so valuable. Saved me HOURS. No music, antics, etc just solid experience.
So happy it was helpful for you! I appreciate it
Saving this for the eventual need. The triple squares serve as a warning to DIYers. If your confused by Allen and Torqx these are meant to foil you. German engineers don't want just anybody Werkin, on their cars. Wow those intake valves look clean! A real good video!
Thanks man!!
Awesome video really helped me out! The only thing I would have added at the end (if anyone is reading this before attempting this repair) is when you reinstall everything turn the key on engine off a few times to prime the fuel rail. After shut the key off and go to the port on the fuel rail and take a little pocket screwdriver and push down on the schrader valve to purge out any air in the fuel rail.
I just finished replacing the oil filter housing on a 2010 Jetta and your video was super helpful! As you mentioned, the Jetta is easier because you can leave the heat exchanger on the filter housing and deal with it on the workbench. I ended up removing the two bolts that connect the intake bracket to the block because this lets the SAI pump and related hoses float and makes it much easier to access the filter housing attachment bolts.
Nice! I’m happy it was useful for you, good tip!
Fortunately, I bought my 2008 VW Rabbit from a professional mechanic who owned and maintained it for the prior 10 years. When I need jobs like this done, I hire the garage and specify that he is the only one allowed to do this job.
Gotta love the plastic bits on German cars. German engineering at its best.
That's awesome. I like when a customer sticks with a particular mechanic instead of just going wherever is cheapest
Dude your video is the only one out here close to my vw rabbit 😅😅 thanks man
That’s great!
This video definitely helps I've been fighting my car pissing oil for a few years now
Good! I’m happy it helped
After several different repairs from amateurs, my bf and I are trying to figure out where the oil filter housing vent tube and the breather hose go back in. Your video is the closest thing I can find to guide us. Any advice would be appreciated!
I think one of the breather hoses that attaches to the oil filter housing has a plastic adapter at the oil filter housing side, make sure that’s in place. going off memory but if you still have the old housing you can use that for reference
Thank you for the detailed explanation. It is very helpful
Good man right here! Yessir yessir, though I do have a question. Do you work in flordia?
Thanks, I’m up in Michigan
What does the breather hose connect too I have it connected to the oil filter housing but I have no clue where the other end of the hose connects too
Thanks 😊
I have a 2010 2.5 VW Beetle after pressure testing to find a leak I was sure it was the Thermostat but its the Oil Cooler Housing you can squeeze the radiator hose and it comes from out between the top top bolts. No water in my oil. OEM is 560 trying to find it now, wish I could just replace those two o rings. Had the intake off in 22 minutes exactly how you took off but I removed the Fuel injection rail.
Awesome! I do that sometimes too
@@EuropeanAutoRepair When putting the thermostat back on the lower screw head broke off... I was pressure testing and wiggling the thermostat just to make sure and it popped off. Crazy the head of that screw actually popped off from all the torque lol.. Had to go to the junk yard and I had that intake off in less then 5 minutes.. of course lots of cutting hoses and wires with no regard for the other parts. Just for one screw
Hahah man that's a pain, sometimes the u pick junkyards are a good opportunity to try things lol
Currently doing this on a beetle convertible my bracket was missing to the one you had to get from up under it
I've seen that before. Never seen it missing cause an issue
@@EuropeanAutoRepair my stupid extension and 1 of the bolts fell down in the drive belt 🤦🏼♀️ I’m screwed
@@EuropeanAutoRepair nevermind got under the car was able to grab it thought I was screwed
@@JoshuaOverman Excellent!
Oh no, can you fish it out of there with a magnet on a stick?
I have a question, i need my oil cooler to be replaced because my is cracked, so can i follow the steps all the way to where you point out the oil cooler and just remove the oil one and put another one on?
Yeah absolutely, drain your oil and coolant down first and you’ll be good
Do you remember what is the torque for the bolts for the oil filter housing to block ?
Not off hand
Question! I am doing this job soon. I need to know , does the hose on the oil cooler require a new O-Ring ? If so , where can i find it … Thanks! :)
Yeah definitely replace the oil cooler seal, the new oil filter housing should come with it installed if I remember right
I got it done all Bacj together then the car turns over for 5 seconds then acts like it’s locked up then turns over fast again idk what I did or if it’s just dead battery
Did you get the car running again?
@@EuropeanAutoRepair no
Hi..great guide. Im dreading of doing this but my housing is probably leaking because belly pan has oil all over.
Since you took out the thermostat,Did you have to flush the cooling system and refill? Did a lot of coolant come out?
Yeah pretty much just had to top off the coolant afterwards, hope it all goes smooth if you end up doing it
@@EuropeanAutoRepair I actually need to replace the radiator too due to a small leak so might as well do both at the same time. Would there be enough clearance without taking out intake to take the housing out if I go that way? The bumper will be out. Or would the intake still block the oil housing? Vehicle is a Mk5 Rabbit. Guessing You might’ve done this car already.
I have a **vw golf 2.5 2014** model and i have had some issues. like p0106 ,p2188,p2187 that i have tried different things like changing the map sensor , pcv valve change, cleaning throttle body and nothing the check engine light still shows. Any recommendation?
Sounds silly but do you have factory air filter?
@@EuropeanAutoRepair yes
Do you have access to a smoke testing machine?
@@EuropeanAutoRepair at the moment no, but why? What do you think it might have ? Does it need its manifold intake to change?
@ditikoci1432 I would smoke test the entire intake system, make sure your intake manifold bolts have not came loose. I’ve seen that on those in the past
Do you need to drain the oil before doing this job?
Nope, you could just top it off when youre done
@@EuropeanAutoRepair what about the coolant?
@sth9186 good idea to drain that beforehand
Hi, I have a 2006 vw jetta 2.5 can I use a after maker part ? Or should I use vw oem part ?
I would say using OEM would be a lot safer, im sure some of the aftermarket ones are fine I’ve just had some bad experiences with them in the past
@European Auto Repair ok what about febi bilstein parts are ok to use ? Thank you for the help.i do most the work myself on my 2006 vw jetta 2.5
Yeah better off with that over a white box special, at least they have a brand reputation to try to uphold to some degree
Need to change mine along with axels already invested $1300 idk of its worth the money ):
It's hard to say but at the price of used cars right now might be worth keeping what you have
How much does a job like this usually cost I’m in Cali wondering if I should just take on the job on my own and what tools I need exactly any info helps thanks in advance.
No sure on parts pricing but I believe it's around 4 labor hour's.
@@EuropeanAutoRepair appreciate the help 😎
No problem. Hope it goes well
I have a 06 VW New Beetle Convertible 2.5L With Automatic transmission. 200,000 miles. I have oil in the coolant reservoir. From what I read, this is a Oil Filter cooler issue that causes oil in the coolant. How do I know if it's the Oil Filter cooler causing this or the filter housing causing oil in the coolant?
It's most likely either the oil filter housing or the trans cooler. It's difficult to tell, have you noticed the oil level dropping?
The moral of this video is don't do this operation in your driveway or garage... bring to you and save the drama for something else. 😉
Haha that's it! Kind of a pain
i looked in rock auot and they do not call that an oil filter housing does this have another name by any chance
Oil filter adapter?
I literally hate the people that design new cars. Plastic oil filter housing. It seems like VW takes lessons from BMW.
