Perfect tutorial. I completed this on my A4 B7 last weekend in about 3 hours. Two thumbs up!
Much respect! I'm happy you found this video helpful, 3 hours is fast timing for this job.
Did you use the plastic or aluminum replacement housing? I see they make an aluminum one and i like metal better than plastic. Especially aluminum since it cools faster. Thoughts?
Excellent, excellent video. I know how hard it is to work on the tight, confined spaces of a B7 A4. You make it look easy!
Doing this to my beloved B7 now, I really appreciate the simple walkthrough with tools used. It's so helpful with setting up and reducing problems during the repair.
I recently came across a few videos of yours after buying my daughter a 06 A4 2 0T. I really enjoy your work. We have very similar work styles; cleaning components, logical order of repair, and even tools used. Keep up the good work.
Much respect! I'm happy you enjoy my work style.Thanks for watching.
Great quality video on the procedure. Thanks again for your detailed explanations. The cinematography has good camera angles and lighting.
I was able to successfully do this on my B7 A4 following your video.
I'm happy you were able to get the replacement done, by following my video! Thanks for acknowledging my efforts and production of this video. Much respect!
Great videos.. direct, to the point and easy to understand. Made life with my B7 a little easier.
Glad it helped! thanks for watching 👍🏽
very thorough and professional. wow, never cursed or sweared. dude you need to run for president
Much respect! Lol
Surprise , Surprise , Surprise ..
Here I am needing another job done on my GLI and the result of my search is a Crafty Workshop video.
CHEERS Mate!
I'm happy you found my channel helpful, thanks for watching and much respect!
Very good tutorial...I will do mine this coming week in Arizona. I feel confident I can do this.I bought the whole assembly that includes the cooler. I can't tell where it's leaking from. I Will let you know when I'm finished. 😊
Glad it helped! good luck with the replacement. Yea, check back in when you're done.
God bless you, thank you so much! If i dont watching your video, i don’t know how to remove oil filter housing. Thank you so much, from VietNam!
Thanks for watching! I'm happy you found this video helpful.
Best video I’ve seen on this job. Angles were great to see exactly where and what was being done. Can you links to tools and parts used
Thanks! I'm going to add the tools and parts. Do you remember which video linked you to this one?
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds ok great, yes it was top 10 issues with b7.
Thanks a million Audi can be real c#$% to work on.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds will this apply to 2011?
Did this procedure today using your video as the guide. Worked out perfectly. Thank you!
I'm happy you were able to use this video as a guide, thanks for watching!
I viewed several videos and read some DIYs and this video has the most efficient repair. There are some others where they are disconnecting all sorts of stuff that I didn't need to do. A few comments on this video.
• Take a few photos or a movie of the layout -- you'll forget some of the bracket orientations
• Disconnect battery (or make sure to cover alternator cable end when you disconnect it)
• Drain oil once you are sure you are going through with job. Leave plug out because you will spill coolant into oil ports and you want it to come out
• No need to pre-drain coolant -- just accept that you'll lose about a gallon when you pull the cooler off.
• No need to remove line on oil cooler
• Throttle body is easy to take off if you need to -- but not necessary. I didn't take it off but it might have helped with visibility.
• You might be able to work with the rigid plastic line in place -- mine was a pain to remove but I got it off (and broke some locking tabs)
• A screwdriver can be used to gently tap the electrical connectors out of the bracket.
• Add a touch of grease when you slide those connectors back in that bracket
• Disconnect alternator cable
• No need to disconnect anything on coolant resevoir -- just place it out of way. Clamp off hose prior to pulling oil cooler
• Where needed, cover air intakes/hoses to avoid dropping something in there.
• Take your time with the blind hex-head bolts and make sure not to strip them
• Once you have the old parts off coolant will continue to drip slowly, probably because the clamp on the reservoir hose is not perfect -- you'll want to go ahead and get the new parts on to stop the dripping
• Might as well replace the oil sender as it's cheap and easy to do.
Tools you may not have
• Triple-square socket set
• Long hex sockets
• Magnet on a handle -- helps grab some bolts you can barely touch
• Mirror
• Wobble extension and short hex socket (helped me with the filter housing top right bolt)
• Something to catch the coolant that is going to splash everywhere. I put some painters plastic in a low, wide cardboard box and placed my drip tray inside of that.
• Coolant is poisonous in small quantities and your dog may lap it up -- be careful.
• Plenty of degreaser -- may as well clean up all the gunk when you have the parts out, plus the bottom of the engine so you can make sure you've fixed the problem.
• Torque wrench. 11 ft-lb is what the housing and cooler get re-installed with.
This guy is a blessing to the RUclips Diy mechanic community 🫡🙌🏻
Much respect, thanks for acknowledging my work👍🏽
This is an amazing job and immensely helpful. Thank you!!
Much respect!
Thank you for the step by step guide. Will replace the oil filter housing on my car tomorrow. Got to say , your tutorial is by far the best i've seen so far. Thank you.
Much respect! Good luck on your replacement.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds Done it brother, and your steps were spot on, i was able to do it within 20mins an it all worked out perfectly after. Thank you again for the great content.
@@khavilash5779 Nice! I'm happy you found the video helpful. Yea, once you got all the required tools and follow the steps, it can be a smooth replacement. Respect!
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds what time i need for change this ??
Good example of proper tools and patience....
Much respect!
Thank you for all your videos on B7👍👍👍👏
much respect 💪🏽
Bravo. Well done. I wish there are mechanics in my area who are at your level. I wouldn't need to work on it myself.
Like your style!
You work in a similar approach as I, but with more chill vibes.
Awesome video. By far the clearest I’ve seen. Thank you!
Much respect! Thanks for watching.
I just completed this job thanks to your video, hopefully that sorts out my leak. I was trying to reuse oil filter housing, but I broke it trying to remove seal. For the price and the time I would recommend just replacing it. Bought a Febi Bilstein one which I always find quality. Thanks again.
Your video saved me $800 that the mechanics quoted me.
I'm happy you were able to save from watching my video, much respect!
Thank you, I didn't know where to start. Excellent video.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello, how are you? Thank you for the clarification. We need creative people and fast work. I am from Jordan. I have an old car model 1996 A4 i18. Today, I learned from you to maintain your machine and install the oil filter.
Much respect and thanks for watching, I'm happy I was able to help!
Best how too video I have seen. Great job man. Your really helping us all out. Thank you for what you do.
Much respect, I appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge my work.
I just got this repair done w oil cooler replacement and my car is now over heating and has turned off on me
I added 3 Quarts of Oil after and I’m still getting some smoke
I also get coolant light and oil pressure light on the dash.
Going to check oil in the AM and Coolant
Recently started watching your videos with my current a4 very helpful was able to do all the work myself just by watching your videos.
I have a question. I removed my filter to change it after installing a new oil pump because my car shows the low oil pressure light I saw a little spring and piece of black plastic come out with it left it out and test drove the car after all this work oil pressure light still comes on no noise on my engine oil pressure switch is also new I currently have my oil filter housing off wondering if this could be my oil pressure issue please let me know if this could cause oil pressure issues. Valves inside the housing is easy to press by hand in and 1 of it is abit stiff
Great video. Great angles. Awesome explanations of procedures. You do great work. I have an oil pressure light and valve chatter on my 08 A4 B7. I would love to get your opinions on it or anyone else's for that matter. I don't want to drop the subframe and oil pan if I don't have to. Also I know that there's a leak by the oil filter housing. It's not losing oil quickly from that area but it is still losing oil. Please help if you can. I don't have repair shop money so I gotta do it myself. It's my daughter's car. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
You need to drop the oil pan and check the oil pump pickup tube and balance shafts
great job, exactly what i needed in case things go south.
Thanks! Yea, this part is a common failure.
I've seen other videos on changing the oil filter. I've been wanting to do it myself. While you most detailed, this is also the most complicated for doing a simple oil filter change.
This is not simply an oil filter change, this is replacing the entire unit that houses the filter which is made of plastic and generally cracks and leaks.
great video! ya I agree, the lighting and quality filming make this the best ive seen
Much respect and thanks for watching!
Only question I have is can you fix mine now 😂? Cool video
great video, this is a very fiddly job.My A3 2litre fsi 8p Audi needs a new oil filter housing. So mch plastic in the item itself, hardly any metal on the housing
Thanks! Yea, sadly this plastic housing fails quite often.
fairly new and learning. what car ramp did you use? Also is there some sort of tool kit online that will come with most of the tools needed instead of buying individually? I believe i will need to fix my cam follower, valve cover gasket, and oil filter housing. All which you have videos for. looking to fix myself and learn about my first audi. Great videos love and respect
Thank you kindly for this video, it was quite informative for me.
I'm happy you found this video helpful, much respect!
New subscription, you are amazing, bro thanks for you dedication.
Welcome to the Crafty family! Much respect 👍🏽
You linked the Hamburg technic replacement. Is this still holding up? I wanted to use a febi bilstein since it’s sold by fcp euro, but I’m unsure which non oe is best.
Good information mate, well done
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for the detailed video, God bless you 🙏 this is exactly what I need to do!
I'm happy you got value from this video,
Much respect and thanks for watching!
Is this a petrol engine? It looks different to my TDI.
Great video. Very helpful and I respect the way you clean everything, as you go.
I'd trust you with my car.
Yes, this engine is petrol. Much respect and thanks for watching!
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds I've just bought an A4 B7 engine, to study :)
This man is just awesome! Excellent video. Thanks
Thanks for watching, respect!
Fyi there is a coolant drain plug on the bottom of the radiator. It takes a bit longer but with a rubber hose you make absolutely 0 mess when draining the coolant
Dude how do you get that thing to work?!? I turned the drain plug part and nothing comes out
In your experience, would a bad enough Leak from the filter housing lead to a low oil pressure light
Thank you my man, did a fabulous work. Very detailed
Much respect, thanks for watching!
Is there another way to jack up car in the front of the a4 so I don't have to use the pinch welds on the sides? So I'm able to put my jack stands easily.
Great presentation Congrats 👍👍, just I have a question .... What was the problem in the vehicle that you had to chance the oil filter housing ? in my case I have a oil leak that come for that part of the engine but im not pretty sure if the housing can cause this leak, I 'll appreciate your comment.
Much respect👍🏽 There was oil leaking from the housing, specifically in between the mating surface of the engine and the oil filter housing. It's a pretty common issue with these cars.
Great clear production. A couple of questions. Any torque specs to bolt the housings to block and cooler? Any gasket lube needed? Which size tools, listed below, go to which housings bolts? Thanks
Hey. I am about to purchase an Audi A4 B7 2008 model and the owner is saying it has a small oil leak. Is it something I should worry about or the problem can easily be fixed. Kindly guide and if it can be fixed I need some pointers. Thank you and I appreciate you making such videos. They are very informative and helpful. Waiting to hear from you.
Great video. Trying to order the unit, but there are 06F115397F, 06F115397H and 06F115397J. Anybody knows what is the difference in these versions? Unfortunatelly I cannot remove and see what is on the car before ordering.
What was the reason for the change. Oil leak or coolant?.. great video!
Oil leak. Much respect!
I really don't like working on my B7 2.0T, it's so much work changing anything. Even just opening the oil sump is complicated. on any other car, I owned I just take out the bolts to the oil sump and pull it straight out, here I need to lose the subframe, etc etc. bruh. Nice video though, it helps me understand where the exact location of the oil pressure sensor is.
Low oil pressure problem huh
How’d you get the connectors out of the silver bracket?
Why didint you use 15 nm to bolt the bracket to the block.?
I’ve replaced it on my 2007 GLI, and it was a pain and took a couple of hours to replace.
Yea, this replacement can be annoying. Especially if you don't have the right tools.
You're the best, if you change your pcv on your V6 Passat please let me know.
Thanks! Yea, I'm actually preparing to make a video about the PCV on the Passat, look out for it.
Has anyone tried the aluminum oil filter housing? Is it any good. Craftyman what are your thoughts.
Excellent video. Thanks. Going to do this soon. Creamy sludge leaked in to cooling fluid tank and drive D position not engaged at all. Revers gear works fine. A mech. suggested oil cooler should be replaced and both transmission and cooling systems should be flushed. Any advice on this please?
Much respect! How did creamy sludge leaked into the cooling tank? That milky substance is usually because coolant and oil has mixed. The car not going into drive, that's a different problem. You need to figure what causing oil and coolant to mix, hopefully it's not a blown head gasket. Yea, you'll need to flush the cooling system, the oil cooler might get clogged depending on how bad the milky substance is.
What size and type of hex socket are you using for the oil filter housing screws.
all the tools and sizes that I used, I listed them in the description
Hey man I was wondering how you were able to get that coolant hose off to drain the coolant. I can’t seem to get it off even tho iv taken the metal clip off. Also I tried using the rads drain cock but when I turn the nob nothing comes out!
After removing the metal clip, you'll need to rock it side to side, and pull at the same time.
please cuold you repaire the steering pimp or steering blender and the hoses? I have an oil leak and i dont know how to fix it thanks mi name is dieter kiev
Thanx sir
Much respect
Thank you for the great video. I replaced my oil filter housing, installed everything back together and now my car cranks but won’t turn over? What could be the problem?
That replacement shouldn't cause the car to not start. Got over your work and make sure is connected, did you check the fuses?
Definitely need to do this too lol
Once you have the proper tools, your good to go.
Buen día amigo disculpa por esta pieza es posible que pierda presion de aceite ya cuando el coche está a su temperatura normal?
Yo quisiera saber también, no te han dicho?
nice vid, you have been of great help to me with various issues on my a4 - hey do know what I should do now that I discovered my car ate my cam follower ? is this replacement necessary ? or just drop the oil pan and clean it ? halp! thanks !
I'd suggest just Dropping the oil pan and clean it out.
Note to others. Hard to find that long hex socket, recommend the one form the link. However, is it 5.5? Also stay away from round head “ball” hex tools. The worst. Lastly, a reminder to not over tighten that oil filter. If you think about it. All that pressure and effort to remove, what started my leaking woes to begin i believe. Then again, old car haha.
Those long hex sockets are at Harbor freight for anyone in the usa
@@snoopy5736 Thanx brother
Was very helpful thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Excellent video!
Much respect!
Would this be the same procedure for a 04' VW Passat?
Nah, the Passat has a different engine.
What are the wire harness 's called ? The last one you took off ? I was trying to take the connections apart and the connections broke .
Nice 👍 as usual. What’s the best tool to clear the “check engine light” and check diagnostic codes? What do you use or recommend? Thanks 🙏
Thanks! Get a VAG scanner that can also scan ABS and Airbags. I have a few hand held scanners and I also have VCDS.
Excellent! Thank you!
Much respect!
Can you please also make a video about how to replace the rear main seal? Thank you.
If I get the chance I'll definitely do a video.
Perfect Video
Which accessories manufacturer can I use? Did you install an original Audi spare part?
Greetings
Does the A4 and A6 have the same type of engine? I have a Audi A6 2.0 TFSI and it looks similar. Workshop wants $2000 to fix it, but parts is only $350. Looks like it would be possible to make yourself.
Great videos!! Glad I found you......
Thanks! I'm happy you're getting value from my videos.
My Audi overheated and i thought it was the oil pan gasket leaking oil, but it turns out its the oil filter housing.
Hey great vid! So im at step or time stamp 3:35 where youre moving the oil housing plug ins out of the way, but ours are stuck? They barely even budge. Any suggestions?
Thanks! Yea, you could use the pick tool and carefully pry the clips away from the U metal slot, you could also use a small flathead screwdriver. The pick tool is also good to disconnect sockets.
what started with a simple oil change on my 06 A4 a month ago and tightened down the canister first by hand, the thing started leaking.... canister wasnt all the way tight, tightened it 100% with the socket and wrench..... still leaks now. smh lol
Did you replace the entire oil filter housing?
Great video! Thank you!
What is your estimate of how long this takes?
Much respect! Probably around 2 hours.
Man I have an oil leak in this location. Don't know if I have the patience to fix
this could be the main cause of oil loss? Great video 📷
Yea, if it's leaking it will get worse over time. Thanks for watching!
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds Do you recommend changing the whole piece or is it enough with the gaskets? thanks
@@kimimaro7z I recommend changing the entire housing. Sometimes the leak is caused by a cracked housing, but you won't be able to tell until you remove it. Also, I've replaced just the gasket already and it still leaked again.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds thanks for the help
Puedo reparar la fuga con algún producto ? Para no sacar todo eso?
I need to do this in Audi TT 2008 . Any tips or just dive into it.
Make sure you have all the necessary tools, otherwise you should be good to go 👍🏽
How do you remove that plastic hose from the top of the filter housing? It looks like you used 3 screwdrivers?
Yea, I did. That hose is a pain to get off and it's brittle, so you gotta be careful.
Bravoooo
Much respect 💪🏽
I need a new 5mm triple Square bolt do you have a link to where I can find one I ruined it trying to get it out
yes
What is your reason for changing the oil housing rather than just replacing the gasket?
I replaced the gasket twice and it still leaked again shortly after.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds Great angles and great video! Keep up the great the work!
Much respect!
I did the whole job and nothing leaks but now the car idles horribly and I don’t know what I did wrong please help
What happened
did you replace gaskets?
Yes, I did.
what coolant do you recommend to put in?
g12
When this failure occurs, can coolant and oil mix?
Yes, it's possible.
Thanks for the reply.
What are the torque specs for the housing assembly and the oil cooler?
I forgot the exact torque specs. I've done the replacement multiple times, so I now tighten by hand.
15nm
What bolt was that for bleeding the cooling system?
It's a bolt on the coolant pipe, you can loosen the bolt to help to bleed air from the system.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds Thank you, sir.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds so loosen the bolt, than turn on the car and let it iddle for how long or how lobg until i tighten the bolt again?
@@dannyzamudio1252 yes
My A4 burns a lot of oil could this be the problem?
Burning oil is a different issue, but if your oil level is always going low and you notice oil spots under the car, then yea.
Bro you should do Rap
Is this the same as a audi 1.8 t 2005?
Nah, not the same.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds is this the same for 2011
Can this be a cause of oil leak?!
Yes, it's a common cause of oil leak. Worn gasket or a cracked housing can cause oil to leak.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds my car has been leaving trails of oil I put more and now it spills it right away I’ve checked where it’s coming out from and it’s coming out from the back of oil filter I’ve changed the sensor thinking it was my prob:
@@miklo9568 yea, that's definitely a sign that the oil filter housing is the problem.
