Boy am I late to the party ... 7 years ! But thanks for the video. I inherited a severely overheated Passat 2.0T FSI and after replacing the warped head, I couldn't understand the low oil pressure, but thanks to your video, I got it taken care of.
Just bought one of these cars today with this issue it had not overheated yet and sounds and runs perfect, but has the Genie light flashing, I'm glad I found your video thank you so much
Thanks, I just purchased a 97 Jetta two days ago, looks like it has a frozen water pump with no belt, and when I got her started after finding the seller disconnected the ground to the engine, It has a chatter knocking sound but sounds strong. Oil looks new. to make a long story longer, since watching this video, you said if the car runs hot it can melt that tray and block the oil and this cars oil light is on when running. If this works man you saved the day! If not, at least i'm wiser. Thank You.
Thanks..!! I have the same issue (melted baffle) and its a very clear discussion of this problem! I’m sure the dealership or neighborhood mechanic would charge at least $600 to $1k for a job like this...!!!
Fantastic video. What urks me mostly is knowing that there is a plastic part in where a lot of heat would cause a catastrophic failure of the engine. Has anyone sourced a metal drop-in replacement part?
Did this myself couple of days ago, in my case I didn't have an oil light on but blew 2 turbos in 1 year. When I removed the sump I found a bunch of junk in the filter where oil pump sucks the oil in the engine.
To everyone doing this job: When reinstalling the oil sump apply gasket sealant paste otherwise you gonna get leaks! Great vid. I'm thinking about replacing "my" piston rings so I have been slowly learning the process and understanding engines!
@@gearsdwtk if you have to ask that question you should not be working on your vehicle in such a manner that removes major components that will ruin your engine if you mess up. you should have someone who knows what they're doing handle this job. Gasket sealants are all job specific- the fact that you know that there's more than one kind should have told you the answer to your own question- you would use a gasket sealant formulated for use in oil applications, preferably one that can handle high heat as this is a turbocharged engine and oil temperatures will be higher on the return side than they would on a naturally aspirated engine. Forced induction is unforgiving in regards to oil demands. foreign debris, such as the pickup tube in this video, has an immediate and dramatic effect on the life of your turbocharger.
Thank you to this video. My Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI was fixed from "Red Oil Pressure Warning" after cleaning the "Oil intake Tube" Now it's back running better than ever.
Thanks for this video! I didn't even think about this! My oil lights been beeping like crazy tell the car warms up enough to stop but still oil light flashes. I did my filter my oil cooler and seals an changed oil alot still doing it. So I'll be trying this tonight!! Thx again!
I don't have that specific problem but i hit an ice chunk and cracked mine luckily not excessive damage just needs a new pan and of course a loving hand of oil
my oil pump sprocket screw came off. only $29 for a new pump off ebay.just replacing it to be sure. my only question was about how to use the sealant on the pump and pan.
OH MY GOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!! You could just imagine the look on my face. I'm getting ready to replace the head gasket on my daughter's beetle and I see this. I remeber her saying to me that the oil light came on when the &@÷€^$ thing overheated. Not saying this is the case but it's one more thing I have to worry about! BTW....thanks for the videos.
+Ariel Aceves you know I actually tried a product on the blown head gasket it actually worked if you can believe it, I actually even did a video but it hasn't posted yet
@@jamiejonesthecarman your definition of "worked" must be different than mine. as an engineer, I have to laugh at the idea of "a product" being capable of holding the same amount of pressure that a properly installed gasket on a true fitting head is capable of holding
Dear frd, finally I got your video for very useful, again having problem in my car engine noise every three months once for reason may be oil pickup problem , after clean my oil pump having more dust and something after then replace new engine oil working well only three months so want to stop this problem anymore plz give me good idea
We bent the oil pump pick up tube by mistake when reinstalling an oil pan. Check gauge light on and low oil pressure. I think if we replace the pick up tube it should fix the problem. My question to you is would running the truck parked at idle than at higher speed ruin a truck. Seems like at a higher speed oil circulates but as it drops you can hear the clicking sound and check gauge comes on for oil. Probably the engine not getting oil...
+JamieJones TheCarMan All finished, would have been a 30 minute job if not for the stuck bolt on the oil pan skid plate, 2 hrs later i took the grinder to the bolt. The Jetta has never run quieter, it even cured a weird little skip that I thought was a ignition module problem that I couldnt track down. Its back to its original pep, she has 250k on the clock and can beat anything off the line.
thank you for video this is exactly whats happening to my 97 vw golf 2.0. i know u said about the overheating would it also make the coolant light blink?
I just did the complete rebuild on my vw Passat 2006 2.0 and the light blinks sometimes saying low oil pressure but the engine runs fine it doesn’t know or nothing
My 2006 Audi A3 2.0 FSI flashed the "low oil pressure" alert and then started making a rough noise on the engine then went to limp mode. It's got 133k miles on it. Could it be the same issue? So if I understood your process correctly it's a matter of taking off the oil pan, then the oil tray and the pickup pipe? Please advise.
Thanks for the great video. i'm helping my friend with a similar issue on his 2006 vw passat 2.0 turbo. We are taking off the oil pan tomorrow and I was wondering if you know the torque spec on the oil pan bolts?
Does a blocked pickup pipe cause a rattle in the engine when idle and when driven hard e.g 60mph @ 3000rpm? Also, is it an indication that the engine rattle is due to low oil or oil not circulating fully due to a blocked pickup pipe/failed oil pump?
Lloyd J YES!! Same here I have an 2006 Audi A4 2.0 FSI and when I’m stuck in traffic or drive hard I get the message with three beeps saying oil pressure it can be the oil pickup tube
Also check the variable valve timing gasket because that’s where the oil is getting pumped to a lot of times it loses pressure at Idol or heavy throttle can’t keep up with it
This just happened to my car. It first siesd my cams. An snapped the bolt that holds the vvt cam gear on. I replaced that. And then more plastic got stuck into the oil pump and sized it and snapped the pump sprocket and then the chain. An I working on all of this now. You should see the amount of plastic I have got out and still am getting out..
Great video! I bought a 2009 CC 2.0 about a year ago. I love it! That said ... I'm starting to get the oil pressure warning randomly. I've noticed it only happens after I've slowed down.. usually parking lots and goes away when I speed up. I probably have this issue right? 1 more Q... I moved to Florida from Ohio. I always used 0w up north. Should I used the heavier weight down here where temps hover around 95 with 10,000% humidity? They say the devil used to live in Florida but went back to hell because it was cooler. 👿
Oh hell, im thinking that there is a lot of damage to that engine due to oil starvation. I take it your going to swapout the engine. Im supprised if its recoverable.
+zx8401ztv yes this thing sounded like a diesel and on top of it after I got the oil flow back right I still couldn't get to hydraulic lifters the prime right
@@mikedriver1903 get out your feeler gauges and measure the tolerances in your valve train. once you know which valves are malfunctioning and how severelyyou can assess what needs to be done, but not until you have diagnosed your valvetrain
my oil pan was cracked a4 2003 v6.. Did not notice the crack untill driving couple minute my car was making a diesel noise ... went to change the oil pan and put some oil in it.... my problem now is I often get the low oil pressure light coming in .. time to time .. I could have it for 2minutes then nothing for 2 days and then coming back for couple minutes... Did I just lost my engine or do you think maybe piece of metal got into the pickup tube when It got cracked? my mechanic did change the pan but didnt not say anything about the pickup tube was wondering if maybe the pickup is the problem
My GTI is giving me problems down low in the RPMs (low oil pressure, but level is fine), I assume that my pickup may be clogged, or hope rather that the problem is that simple. The daunting part for me is that there is no gasket, just RTV, and I suck at applying RTV 😅
lol how is it even possible to suck at applying RTV?!?! did they not teach you finger painting in kindergarten? removing the old is a pain in the butt on cylinder heads and valve covers, but I have seriously never heard of anyone having trouble smearing on the new... 😂😂😂
I have the same symptoms with my 05 jetta 2.0 that was drived while overheating and after pull off the oil pan I found the same: pick up tube clogged. and melted baffle. Could be possible the head gasket was damaged? What's yours case?
thanks for video just bought 06 jetta 2.0t yesterday ..cars telling me to stop low oil pressure.. today I'm getting a knock in engine Web idling and increases when I take off at low rpm then no more knock ..I plan on taking it to shop tomorow morning ask if they would check that baffle and oil intake tube ..I don't have the tools here or I would ..anyway my question is please..is my engine allready gone with that knocking at low rpm ? is she worth keeping at all? thanks in advance
JamieJones TheCarMan well braught it in today and was told it's a rod bearing and we should put thick oil in it and sell it asap..I'm not convinced ..another thing I noticed is it doesn't knock until it warms up ..never got to check inside oil pan told us it would cost us at least 3 hours in labour ..I'm hoping the rain would stop I'd like to have a look see hope to not too serious
Hi Jamie, Thanks for the video. I have a 2003 new beetle, with a 1.8 LT turbo engine. I experienced the same clog on the oil pump suction pipe screen . I removed the pipe and cleaned it out...looks like new! I replaced the oil and filter W/ the recommended oil. When I started the car, it is smoking like crazy! I removed the spark plugs and found no oil. What do you think I should check next?!
Hey Jamie, I just had a thought, I jacked up the front of my beetle to drain and remove the oil pan. Can it be possible that the oil to drain into the turbo pump. The top part of the engine is not ticking anymore, but it is still smoking like crazy. I ran the car for about an hour.
Original Plastic water propeller causes overheat and sprays coolant over wiring. Cheap rubber coating on wires causes coolant to be absorbed into connectors which causes electrical problems. The passengers side motor mount wasn't designed to be removed more than 3 times then the bolts strip out but this need to be removed every time the water pump , belt is replaced.. Going to replaced the oil pressure sender for flashing light. Now I find there's more plastic involved! I hope the switch fixes it.
I have 2012 VW Sharan. oil pressure warning light comes on straight after moving. change oil pressure switch, oil ,Oli filter, oil pick up pipe. still not solved. anyone have any idea.
Hey brother, i have a 2007 passat 2.0. I was driving and the oil pressure STOP engine light came on while i was on the highway. i pulled off as soon as i could. I lost almost all my oil. I got it to a parking lot nearby where it still sits while i work on it everyday. I cannot seem to replicate the leak. i start it and a minute later or so the oil light comes on and i shut it down but its not leaking anymore. I am down to either the sending unit or the pump. I highly doubt the pump is not working as i only have 75,500 miles on it. my car did not show any signs of over heating. But anyways is that the screen that everyone talks about checking when removing the oil pan? Also, what is the best way to get the oil sending unit off?
Volkswagen and Castrol spent millions of dollars in research and development coming up with the specifications that Volkswagen uses. anyone claiming to know better without having put up the money for the research and development is a liar and a fool. trust your owners manual, only buy oil that means the recommendations and is stamped vw 502, 503 etc (depending on which engine you're working on). some guys will tell you to buy the t6 Rotella anyway- these guys sell their car long before a hundred fifty thousand miles of hard running.
The bottom end on my Tdi looks the same , I want to know about the low oil pressure cut off in the oil pump , I was told it might be stuck open as I have cleaned up the bottom end but still have low pressure light on. Any suggestions welcome.
I head you don't need the oil pathhel check oil change they do get loose in time you can clean it with a pick and tooth brush ,clean it threw oil frame plug and when you get it back lean ,take off I'll felter and pumpcaracennin it and put caner send in it and let seat all night and drag it it out but first drank oil the clean it with oil felt ,it work
Does the oil pickup feed only the cylinder head? I have good pressure at the block but none at the head - thinking either clogged oil passage in the head OR possibly oil pickup - but unsure if you can have good pressure at the block with a clogged oil sump!
So i got this Pressure light too on a 2.0T FSI. However it hasnt been overheat. I know i was a bit late for a oil service half a year ago, and could actually see a bit of buildup right under the oilcap. What im sure of is that there is no plastic inside my pickup tube... Could it still be clogged? Or should i be looking for other signs that would cause this lamp to get on? My car defo sounds like a diesel, and it has always sounded like one. The lamp gets on for a second, then off again. And comes back and off now and then so its not a permanent pressure loss, it just dips now and then.
@@Therey1898 oh, that is long ago now. i dont remember exactly how, but yes it never happened again. I replaced the oil with the type specified in manual and did a flush. I cant exactly remember if i did anything more about that. Did too much overall with this car. It lasted 270'000km and then "Snap", chain went to hell and car went to the breaker. Mechanic checked the chain and engine to see if it was an expensive repair, and so it was. The plastic part on tensioner had broken loose and the rod had actually been ripped out, leaving chain hanging, and boom, bent valves.
my 95 vw cabrio has oil coming out of the water coolant reservoir, engine seems to be ok not sure if the engine has water in it. what else could it be.
@labibcoplast5224 when did tree separates the air from the oil so as the crank turns it airy eights, all of the oil which causes a bunch of air bubbles it sits on top of the wind is Trey drops down so when it goes into the sump it’s nice and thick oil and if you didn’t have that what would happen is or what could possibly happen is you would get more metal on metal contact throughout the engine because you have air bubbles inside the oil and we want the oil to remain consistent to protect the engine
Good evening, I'm from Brazil, I have a golf 2.0 mechanical apk, I'm not oléo pressure only in the head, with pressure manometer on the filter holder, have 2 bar idling with hot engine and 4 bar accelerating, measuring in head, have 0.1 bar at idle, and maximum pressure of 1 bar accelerating, the head makes a terrible noise !! help me please
i just replaced an engine on my 1999 beetle nd was having the oil light coming on so ive checked the oil level nd changed the oil pressure sensor nd still having the oil pressure light so would this be a possible issue?
My timing chain broke on 2.0 FSI. I pull the head, melt head, got new valves, seals, belt, chain, water pump, head gasket and all that. 4 full days it take me to do the job. I was happy engine will last at least 50000 miles. 1 minute engine work and stop... intake cam frezze becouse no oil comming. How that possible on low miles. More likely oil pump. Head is going to trash. I will sell it as is. Enough is enough...
Hello, need help! Does the oil pump chain tensioner engage from oil pressure? I took the balance shafts assy out, collapsed the tensioner, and it never sprung back out. Is this normal?
I have an audi a4 quattro 2.0 with low oil pressure light, the mechanic is charging me $2180 to put a 1.8 oil pump conversion kit in it, but I heard this can cause issues down the road, is this true?
@@VaszkoNicolas yeah I know, I didn't find that out until AFTER I paid him most up front. He said the conversation kit was $900 and the rest was labor. I still need the receipt for the parts. I asked for it but never received it.
i got a 2005 VW Beetle this POS has less then 108,000 on it and the oil pressure is going bonkers i am thinking it is the pick up is plugged with sludge so I will be using this video to change that soon. It idles fine no issue with oil pressure but when I drive and hit 1700- 1800 RPM the oil pressure light goes on at idle it is fine up to like 3000 RPM then it goes on. I will never buy another VW again this is my second one and have had nothing but issues with them both. The first one was a 92 VW cabriolet and it had issues with the battery draining over night I checked everything I could think of starter, alternator, battery, radio, even pulled the ignition switch plug and it still drained over night. Now this Beetle it has been nothing but problems from day one was slipping 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd so changed the valve body new fluid new filter then starts slipping 1st to 2nd now the oil pickup plus the cable from alternator to fuse block on battery likes to get super hot and melt into the battery.

I have the same symptoms with my 05 jetta 2.0 that was drived while overheating and after pull off the oil pan I found the same: pick up tube clogged. and melted baffle. Could be possible the head gasket was damaged? What's yours case?
thanks for video
just bought 06 jetta 2.0t yesterday ..cars telling me to stop low oil pressure.. today I'm getting a knock in engine Web idling and increases when I take off at low rpm then no more knock ..I plan on taking it to shop tomorow morning ask if they would check that baffle and oil intake tube ..I don't have the tools here or I would ..anyway my question is please..is my engine allready gone with that knocking at low rpm ? is she worth keeping at all?
thanks in advance
Hey Man, I definitely wouldn't get rid of her just yet.
Ok
Would be a shame to have scrap it .shall see tomorow will keep posted
Thanks for reply
Just checking in to see what they told you about the VW.
JamieJones TheCarMan
well braught it in today and was told it's a rod bearing and we should put thick oil in it and sell it asap..I'm not convinced ..another thing I noticed is it doesn't knock until it warms up ..never got to check inside oil pan told us it would cost us at least 3 hours in labour ..I'm hoping the rain would stop I'd like to have a look see hope to not too serious
Hi Jamie, Thanks for the video. I have a 2003 new beetle, with a 1.8 LT turbo engine. I experienced the same clog on the oil pump suction pipe screen . I removed the pipe and cleaned it out...looks like new! I replaced the oil and filter W/ the recommended oil. When I started the car, it is smoking like crazy! I removed the spark plugs and found no oil. What do you think I should check next?!
+Daniel DeLa Rosa what color smoke
Blue gray
Hey Jamie, I just had a thought, I jacked up the front of my beetle to drain and remove the oil pan. Can it be possible that the oil to drain into the turbo pump. The top part of the engine is not ticking anymore, but it is still smoking like crazy. I ran the car for about an hour.
+Daniel DeLa Rosa yes seal around turbo is leaking , hit my fb page i can respond faster
+Daniel DeLa Rosa turbo seal
Original Plastic water propeller causes overheat and sprays coolant over wiring. Cheap rubber coating on wires causes coolant to be absorbed into connectors which causes electrical problems. The passengers side motor mount wasn't designed to be removed more than 3 times then the bolts strip out but this need to be removed every time the water pump , belt is replaced.. Going to replaced the oil pressure sender for flashing light. Now I find there's more plastic involved! I hope the switch fixes it.
Are you using a torque wrench to tighten up the motor mount bolts to spec, or an impact gun?
I have 2012 VW Sharan. oil pressure warning light comes on straight after moving. change oil pressure switch, oil ,Oli filter, oil pick up pipe. still not solved. anyone have any idea.
Is the Amazon part listed in the description the same as a 2008 GTI mk5?
very informative video broski 💯
cool
Hey brother, i have a 2007 passat 2.0. I was driving and the oil pressure STOP engine light came on while i was on the highway. i pulled off as soon as i could. I lost almost all my oil. I got it to a parking lot nearby where it still sits while i work on it everyday. I cannot seem to replicate the leak. i start it and a minute later or so the oil light comes on and i shut it down but its not leaking anymore. I am down to either the sending unit or the pump. I highly doubt the pump is not working as i only have 75,500 miles on it. my car did not show any signs of over heating. But anyways is that the screen that everyone talks about checking when removing the oil pan? Also, what is the best way to get the oil sending unit off?
Why do you prefer the thicker cold viscosity of the 5W40 over the 5W30?
+atsernov I dont ,that whats in the owner's manual , but alot people run 30 with no problem
Volkswagen and Castrol spent millions of dollars in research and development coming up with the specifications that Volkswagen uses. anyone claiming to know better without having put up the money for the research and development is a liar and a fool. trust your owners manual, only buy oil that means the recommendations and is stamped vw 502, 503 etc (depending on which engine you're working on). some guys will tell you to buy the t6 Rotella anyway- these guys sell their car long before a hundred fifty thousand miles of hard running.
The bottom end on my Tdi looks the same , I want to know about the low oil pressure cut off in the oil pump , I was told it might be stuck open as I have cleaned up the bottom end but still have low pressure light on. Any suggestions welcome.
Did you check the variable valve tensioner tends to blow seal , located under valve cover
What are other symptoms that need to clean this?
I head you don't need the oil pathhel check oil change they do get loose in time you can clean it with a pick and tooth brush ,clean it threw oil frame plug and when you get it back lean ,take off I'll felter and pumpcaracennin it and put caner send in it and let seat all night and drag it it out but first drank oil the clean it with oil felt ,it work
Huh?
tanks guy for you training. I am ready for working
Does the oil pickup feed only the cylinder head? I have good pressure at the block but none at the head - thinking either clogged oil passage in the head OR possibly oil pickup - but unsure if you can have good pressure at the block with a clogged oil sump!
Feeds the head
And chain pending it’s design look at your bbt gasket on the head they blow out you lose top pressure
Thank you - oil pickup was 100% blocked with tar - cleaned it with solvent and oven cleaner and psi went from 8 to 70 cold.
Thank you so much. I thought it was much worse. 👍
I have a Vw 2.0 TDI that only looses oil pressure when it gets hot. Any idea on a possible solution got this
Did you find the problem i have same issue thanks
@alfredohernandez1124 yeah, it was the cylinder head . Replaced that and problem was solved .
@@nathannagoor6202 what was wrong with the head?
Great video man, thanks just what I needed.
Awesome man yeah it's kind of surprising they use plastic for that stuff
So i got this Pressure light too on a 2.0T FSI.
However it hasnt been overheat.
I know i was a bit late for a oil service half a year ago, and could actually see a bit of buildup right under the oilcap.
What im sure of is that there is no plastic inside my pickup tube...
Could it still be clogged?
Or should i be looking for other signs that would cause this lamp to get on?
My car defo sounds like a diesel, and it has always sounded like one.
The lamp gets on for a second, then off again. And comes back and off now and then so its not a permanent pressure loss, it just dips now and then.
Did you find the issue?
Did you fix it?
@@Therey1898 oh, that is long ago now. i dont remember exactly how, but yes it never happened again. I replaced the oil with the type specified in manual and did a flush.
I cant exactly remember if i did anything more about that.
Did too much overall with this car.
It lasted 270'000km and then "Snap", chain went to hell and car went to the breaker.
Mechanic checked the chain and engine to see if it was an expensive repair, and so it was.
The plastic part on tensioner had broken loose and the rod had actually been ripped out, leaving chain hanging, and boom, bent valves.
my 95 vw cabrio has oil coming out of the water coolant reservoir, engine
seems to be ok not sure
if the engine has water in
it. what else could it be.
Your car is mixing oil and water, you blew a main gasket on your motor
Oil in the coolant generally means blown head gasket.
thanks for the video. But save yourself the headache and go get a long hex ball set. Swivel did not work at all for me
What is the purpose of placing the plastic guard inside the pan
Why
Used for what
@labibcoplast5224 when did tree separates the air from the oil so as the crank turns it airy eights, all of the oil which causes a bunch of air bubbles it sits on top of the wind is Trey drops down so when it goes into the sump it’s nice and thick oil and if you didn’t have that what would happen is or what could possibly happen is you would get more metal on metal contact throughout the engine because you have air bubbles inside the oil and we want the oil to remain consistent to protect the engine
@@jamiejonesthecarman thank you so much
Good evening, I'm from Brazil, I have a golf 2.0 mechanical apk, I'm not oléo pressure only in the head, with pressure manometer on the filter holder, have 2 bar idling with hot engine and 4 bar accelerating, measuring in head, have 0.1 bar at idle, and maximum pressure of 1 bar accelerating, the head makes a terrible noise !! help me please
i just replaced an engine on my 1999 beetle nd was having the oil light coming on so ive checked the oil level nd changed the oil pressure sensor nd still having the oil pressure light so would this be a possible issue?
Thank you for this video!
YEE YEE brother!
My timing chain broke on 2.0 FSI. I pull the head, melt head, got new valves, seals, belt, chain, water pump, head gasket and all that. 4 full days it take me to do the job. I was happy engine will last at least 50000 miles. 1 minute engine work and stop... intake cam frezze becouse no oil comming. How that possible on low miles. More likely oil pump. Head is going to trash. I will sell it as is. Enough is enough...
Good video
On a 07 eos, any cross members to remove?
Hello, need help! Does the oil pump chain tensioner engage from oil pressure? I took the balance shafts assy out, collapsed the tensioner, and it never sprung back out. Is this normal?
+MrFabio24 yes but i think that one has a spring inside it
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! Now i know whats wrong with mine!!
I am gonna get a few parts at the junkyard in the morning....just might pull a vr6 motor and swap the 2.0L if i have any more problems. ...
I've got this problem, too bad I don't have a garage
thanks for the video..you helped me a lot
+efilimone No problem at all. Glad that this video was helpful for you!!
I have an audi a4 quattro 2.0 with low oil pressure light, the mechanic is charging me $2180 to put a 1.8 oil pump conversion kit in it, but I heard this can cause issues down the road, is this true?
@@VaszkoNicolas yeah I know, I didn't find that out until AFTER I paid him most up front. He said the conversation kit was $900 and the rest was labor. I still need the receipt for the parts. I asked for it but never received it.
@@VaszkoNicolas what's a normal price for something like this? How much was I overcharged?
i got a 2005 VW Beetle this POS has less then 108,000 on it and the oil pressure is going bonkers i am thinking it is the pick up is plugged with sludge so I will be using this video to change that soon. It idles fine no issue with oil pressure but when I drive and hit 1700- 1800 RPM the oil pressure light goes on at idle it is fine up to like 3000 RPM then it goes on. I will never buy another VW again this is my second one and have had nothing but issues with them both. The first one was a 92 VW cabriolet and it had issues with the battery draining over night I checked everything I could think of starter, alternator, battery, radio, even pulled the ignition switch plug and it still drained over night. Now this Beetle it has been nothing but problems from day one was slipping 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd so changed the valve body new fluid new filter then starts slipping 1st to 2nd now the oil pickup plus the cable from alternator to fuse block on battery likes to get super hot and melt into the battery.
Excelent video,thank you
What tools will be need
awesome video , awesome information ty man;)
OSCAR, KARLA Romero.
Hope this fixes my Eos
It should let me know how it works out
Could you just melt the plastic with a torch?
is this a 07 passat 2.0 gas turbo?
+gabriel aredez I think it was a few years older than that and it was a bug but it's the same engine
I thought this video was going to show removal and installation of an oil pump..
2.0 or 2.0T?
Is this for most vw 2.0 engines ?
Zay Meadows yea mines just started doing it I’m tryna fix it now
@@Weslidin365 did you ever get it fixed
