nice video, did this service last year on my clubsport. i removed the pump at the same time, which was worthwhile as it was pretty dirty in there.
oh like the cover? i didnt want to go that far
@@LastHumansGarage nope, if u look just where the drain is, there's that unit which looks a little like a starter motor housing, that's the pump. I have a couple of pictures of the debris that was inside mine but I'm not sure how I'd share those with u
Im doing it on my GTI, one question, how did you get the back screw for the pump out?
@@jimyhemn5292 I don't remember exactly but I did remove the black control box with the 2 10mm bolts, see if that gives more access
I need to do this on my Octavia 245. The job looks an absolute ball ache. You have to do the pump at the same time. There is more oil in there and an oil screen that needs cleaned. After that, the thing needs electronic recalibration I think. I don't have the OBD stuff. I wouldn't trust a mechanic to do it correctly and not cut corners. I would need to stand over them to make sure they dont bullshit me.
haha cheers mate
TY so much for this video! I couldn't figure out how to get to that fill plug!
np snowman
@@markgeraghty4301 I was just wondering, how come you didn't take out the VAQ motor and clean the filter? or is that even necessary?
bro i honestly cant remember.. oh.. i did do the filter on my S3, but not on that GTI
Remove battery and get easy access to the fill plug, so much easier.
Great tip!
@@LastHumansGarageI did mine yesterday with the DSG service aswell and had a feel while I was doing the DSG filter. Realised how easy to access it was so got it drained and refilled while the battery was already off. From now on I’ll just change the fluid every time I do the DSG service, literally a 2 minute job while you’re in there.
I have the same unit. Is the flange that connects the the axle supposed the move. because mine can slide in and out about an 1/8th of an inch. I cant get any answers anywhere.
sweet dude, good job like always
thanks jimmie
Just ordered some new tiguan springs for my mk7
Any recommendation for tyre size? I want to fill out the gap fully with a fat tyre and no rubbing
no idea. but you can go with at least one profile size higher i would expect
Hey! Any chance you can do me a massive favor and potentially get a part number off the 8 pin connector that plugs into the diff controller! The plug is shown multiple times in the video but I couldn’t see a number on it! I have gotten 3 different parts from the dealer with no luck!
if i still had that car i could..
@@LastHumansGarage ah dang thanks so much! I appreciate the reply more than you know! Used your videos to do the helix sub install btw and appreciate your content making!
Could you route fill tube in from the top
ya you could. might have even been easier, dunno
@@LastHumansGarage I went in from the top, gravity is your friend :-)
I wonder why the VAQ diff requires separate servicing vs aftermarket like wavetrac.
ya kinda weird.
As you see, vaq is a clutch pack, separated from the gearbox. Similar to haldex awd unit. It needs it's own type of oil. The wavetrac diff is inside the gearbox, replacing the oem one. And obviously it's lubed by the gearbox oil. Totally different systems.
I just did the service, a little bit of oil came out the fill plug. Altough my car was level. Is this normal?
Yes. You put the plug in when it’s a slow drip
Run that fluid thru a coffee filter or paper towel and check if those sparkles are magnetic
oh damn.. hmm.. well its already in my oil jug.. but, its the only oil i put in there. dont think i have a coffee filter, we do keurig
Make sure you drop down your torque wrench is back down to zero when you’re done with them! 🤓
yup, did
Have you done the DSG trans fluid?
bro... you of all people... yes ive done a dsg change video. im sure you watched it too.
@@LastHumansGarage hahah
Oh my god, i see the refillig oil . Thi is not the right way to do it. You need a brand new caps and take an old for fit a hose holder and fit anoter on the oil bottle cap, and connect with a transparent silicon hose. So you can put the oil bottle hogher and upside down and oil will refilled without lost a drop and very easy. Pay attention that every oil change is very important to clean the electric pump filter . For do it , extract pump from vaq and clean the little white screen filter or debris can stroke the pump causing a failure. Sorry for my poor anglish i hope you understand.
thanks
You and those dam mounts haha.
its killer now. can't tell much if any difference in performance but 75% of the vibration is gone.
@@LastHumansGarage nice, hopefully it stays that way over time. Maybe you found your magical happy medium. Maybe mentioned in one of the next videos exactly what you trimmed. You could draw a sweet diagram LOL
@@mikes1439 naw i could take it out to show people if i really wanted, but i mean its all just personal preference. my cuts might not be good for someone elses tastes
@@LastHumansGarage yeah I get that, I just figured other people could try to copy to get a similar result. But then again you risk ripping it at this point probably. I checked with Cobb and they still haven't cracked my transmission code on my 21 gli. Guess I'll be waiting a little longer before I tune.
Few years behind you 1978
1978 was a great year. Hungry Hungry Hippos was released.
Bro I’m the same way with oil changes my theory is this oil is cheap an engine is expensive!
Yeah true
Little SNL there Marky mark?
yup
