I don't know what car this was, but all I can say is that you are truly a genuine caring human being. Man you have so much life and maxi. Good on you. It is very neat to see someone as happy in what you do in life as you are! I hope all is well Mike
If you've got a few longer bolts with the same thread, cut the heads off and thread them into the holes. Then slide your sump on using the bolts as a guide, it then lines up perfectly first time. Get a few standard bolts in, then remove the long ones :)
awesome bit of work and advice pal ,proper english and well explained. gonna have a go on my Vectra C 1.8 petrol hopefully i can leave exhaust in too. all the best from Nottingham.
The sump screws at the gearbox end are a problem to remove. The ball-head Allen key is not working, and the gearbox to block plate/gasket is in the way of a 'straight' Allen key. tips and tricks are welcome. I'm close to cutting the sump into bits
It is a very good and useful video. Our POLO 1.4 from 2002 has the same oil pan. THANK YOU for showing how to put in the 2 screws into the deep holes next to the transmission. It was a horrible job for me. I could put into their place only one of them, hopefully it is not a problem. Maybe next time it will be in my garage I will try again.
Why don't you just remove the obsticle being the exhaust That's lash loads on and when you tighten the sealant will squeeze inwards creating a silicone rope that will loosen into the sump eventually getting sucked into the strainer oil lifter causing oil starvation hence waste of time blown engine never mind you struggling with sump round exhaust removing sealant from an area that you never noticed causing a leak later some pressure builds up in the sump
You're ace man, identical to ma Audi A3 engine. Wish I'd watched this video before is tried to get them 'nightmare' bolts out!! All done now tho, well done :)
You are forgetting an important parts when I tell the customer the price for the job and then if I take off especially exhaust bolts if things start breaking and the price goes up the customer is not very happy in the real world I know what you are saying but it doesn't always work out that way practical how would you feel if someone gave you a price and gave you a call and the price tripled
Nathan Soper if your exhaust goes underneath the sump then yes it will get in the way and take some of the sealer off and it will leak just easier to take it off but just be careful as you can snap bolts you're damned if you do and your damned if you don't
hi on a z16xep 1.6 twinport astra sump is it the same to seal it and also on the side that goes onto the clutch gearbox side do I put a bit of sealer on there also as I totally cleaned my sump in and out and there was a bit of sealer on it when I removed it is have Loctite 5920 copper silicone high temperature is that OK to use 1 more thing my low level oil sensor broke so I got another one but the cable inside the sump is a bit smaller than needed to get it to sit on correct bracket if I cut the cable and extend it enough what can I use to seal the cable and cover it to protect it from the oil and temperature it will be inside the sump I thought of using heat shrink but don't know what kind I need I only have to extend it a inch rather than spending £70 on another sensors if safe to do so thanks
paul mason hi mate as long as you feel what was originally sealed make sure everything is nice and clean you will not have a problem as your regards you're sensor you will have to buy the proper one for it I don't know of anything you can use to seal it if you cut it eventually even if you manage to seal it will not last by the proper want you will have no problem
GymChess hi mate if you change your oil regularly it should be really clean did you got a lot of slugs and stuff it means that all has not been change regulate
Hi mate if the engine is seized there is no way to turn it check the big end bearings first there's two bolts for each person disconnect all bolts and then try and turn it if the engine turns when you have a problem your big end bearings unfortunate your engine is seized it can be very expensive to sort out
Ah ok that's fair enough. I'd be doing it on axle stands so I dno if I'll have enough room. Also I read somewhere about disconnecting a drive shaft for some reason. Doesn't look as though you need to.
@@lucianoaliquo6629 It will only work when the bolt is full and not rusty In 90% of the cases because the Goes through multiple heat cycles The boat just rusts away And goes very weak And then just snaps off if you have done any amount of cars what's the weather you would know this I have done Multiple video showing exhaust bolts and what happens to them Any experience mechanical know this
As a note, I never replaced those two difficult bolts cos didn't wanna risk losing them into the clutch housing. 48 hours later and it's still dry as a bone underneath. Not a drop of oil coming out! 😊

Thanks mate !🤘
Hi you did a good job but personally i would take exhaust off to make sure it’s out of way as you took a few bolts off a couple more won’t hurt
You are forgetting an important parts when I tell the customer the price for the job and then if I take off especially exhaust bolts if things start breaking and the price goes up the customer is not very happy in the real world I know what you are saying but it doesn't always work out that way practical how would you feel if someone gave you a price and gave you a call and the price tripled
I've got the 1.6l fsi engine. can the sump be removed without taking off the exhaust on that model too?
Nathan Soper if your exhaust goes underneath the sump then yes it will get in the way and take some of the sealer off and it will leak just easier to take it off but just be careful as you can snap bolts you're damned if you do and your damned if you don't
hi on a z16xep 1.6 twinport astra sump is it the same to seal it and also on the side that goes onto the clutch gearbox side do I put a bit of sealer on there also as I totally cleaned my sump in and out and there was a bit of sealer on it when I removed it
is have Loctite 5920 copper silicone high temperature is that OK to use
1 more thing my low level oil sensor broke so I got another one but the cable inside the sump is a bit smaller than needed to get it to sit on correct bracket
if I cut the cable and extend it enough what can I use to seal the cable and cover it to protect it from the oil and temperature it will be inside the sump
I thought of using heat shrink but don't know what kind I need
I only have to extend it a inch rather than spending £70 on another sensors if safe to do so
thanks

bodgit and leggit garage thanks il get a new one ordered and seal the sump how it was
thanks for getting back to me
paul mason anytime mate glad I could help have fun with it
paul mason anytime mate glad I can help
Nice..Thanks you..
How much crap is usually in the sump or is it generally quite clean?
GymChess hi mate if you change your oil regularly it should be really clean did you got a lot of slugs and stuff it means that all has not been change regulate
Where can I get this dirko Garu from in Uk 🤷♂️
Could you please tell me how to turn a engine by hand that is all seized up please
Hi mate if the engine is seized there is no way to turn it check the big end bearings first there's two bolts for each person disconnect all bolts and then try and turn it if the engine turns when you have a problem your big end bearings unfortunate your engine is seized it can be very expensive to sort out
can you please recommend a sealant...joe
Joe Stubbs 4:29
is it not easier to just take off the exhaust?
Robert Wiliams no risk snap in the exhaust bolts causing the customer triple the cost so no it's not worth it

Thanks boss
You need to come and sort my golf out pleeeeeeeease lol 😂
lol
I am being 100% serious Come to the uk and sort my vw golf out it needs a pro to working on it
Here is a tip, just drop the exhaust it's only a couple of bolts and makes it much easier
In a perfect world yes but not in the real world when the bolts are really rusty and it causes you hours upon hours to draw them out to replace them
@@bodgitandleggitgarage use a blow torch heat the bolts spray with oil wait 10 min and remove
@@lucianoaliquo6629 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ok I really dont understand why any bolt in the world ever get snapped them because your method must work every single time
@@bodgitandleggitgarage works for exhaust bolts they used to the heat 🔥 not trying to be funny mine worked much easier with the exhaust removed 🙏
@@lucianoaliquo6629 It will only work when the bolt is full and not rusty In 90% of the cases because the Goes through multiple heat cycles The boat just rusts away And goes very weak And then just snaps off if you have done any amount of cars what's the weather you would know this I have done Multiple video showing exhaust bolts and what happens to them Any experience mechanical know this
