Thank you for taking the time to educate me and many others with this video. I enjoy doing work on my car so I’m more educated in that respect and so I know what work needs doing so I’m not ripped off or scammed.
Absolutely brilliant video, Thank you, especially about the 4 rear bolts that can bugger up the gearbox etc. brilliant, easily save someone a nightmare and a gearbox stripout, great video.
I was changing my oil ahead of a 400 mile round trip. Thought it might be a good idea. Went to replace the sump plug and it wouldn't seat correctly. Took it easy and tightened slowly, but, the thread housing fractured off. I have a fabia, '51 reg (119,000). So, I needed to replace the sump pan and I followed this video to the letter. Result was a vehicle that did the 400 mile round trip with no problems. I've had my car 14 years, and I'm quite attached to it. Thank you for a very informative video. The gasket seal you used is quality, but it takes 24 hours to cure, not a problem, because it should last. I've checked the oil repeatedly since I replaced the pan, and there are no leaks whatsoever. Again, thank you.
Ian thanks for the Postive reply Its all about sharing tips an tricks. I've learned alot from other people too over this past few years, RUclips has helped alot of us to achieve tasks that may have been near impossible a few years ago.
Good video. I have a leak from the gearbox side of sump on my 130pd tdi and hoping its the sump leaking. If the seal in gearbox was leaking would it drip out on floor. Or is it all sealed around there and just leak into the sump. Just trying to eliminate other possibilities before i reseal the sump and hope it's that. Thanks
If the oil is dripping between sump an gearbox, my thoughts it's likely to to be rear engine crankshaft seal an not the sump, would need to take gearbox off, clutch an flywheel to access the seal.
@@TheProjectGuy194 Does look like it could be that which is a bummer, i got it booked in garage Friday to have a look hopefully wount cost too much. Thanks
Benoit that's a very good comment on the liquid gasketan you right in what your saying, need to check the my video to see if I was laying it on too much. The car is still in every use an have no leaks, also fitted new front springs an mounts an car is sitting 30mm higher to keep the sump off the speed ramps in our local towns.
11:26 cracked the seal flange 😭 Not re-installing but removing the damned bolt that was stripped and required to be drilled. Tragic, fail, I had be more gentle and patient. Now, before entering the hell of removing transmission, clutch and flywheel I think it worths a simple repair attempt.. and pray.. What kind of plastic is that flange? What would the best product to cure its crack? The same black liquid silicone gasket used for the oil pan could be used? Some specific bicomponent epoxy for that kind of plastic? 😡😡😡😡
You would be safer to replace this flange. Gearbox out, clutch an flywheel to replace it. Would take a day to do it. The flange comes complete with the crankshaft seal. To be honest I think the plastic is too fine to repair so it would be better to replace it.
@@TheProjectGuy194 thanks for your feedback. I know I should have worked without hurry and much better.. I'll do the complete job so.. anyway I should do one repair attempt because car cannot be off for long time these days.. I should delay the job as long as I can.. I'll start with a temporary repair and monitor any leakage.. hoping it will not be a torrent since the first run. Have you any suggestion about materials?

I need to change the pan on my 03 TDI, this was incredibly informative.

Thanks very much.. so helpful and gave me the confidence to do myself rather than a paid workshop!
We're you at,could you do my sump on a 2005 touran? I'm in lurgan
this is super
Thank you! Great instruction.
Do i need to change the low oil level sensor when replacing the sump?
Just use the one on the old sump if it's not damaged
@@TheProjectGuy194 ok perfect thank you for your quick reply
Bravo
Did you need to replace the oil level sensor gasket seal or can you reuse it?
Was able to reuse it
can we list of tools you used pls

@@TheProjectGuy194 found somone done some work and the sump nut on gearbox end have threaded so wont tighten up.
Can i use a original gasket or do i have to use liquid gasket?
Liquid gasket is what originally used so new sealer is needed
Thx
Did the exhaust have to come of this to clear the sump?
No the exhaust is at rear side off engine an is clear off the the sump.
Thanks for the vid, did it end up leaking at all after your repair?
Have had no oil leaks since the repair. Also change a sump on a tdi beetle which was a success too.
@@TheProjectGuy194 You're the man, keep up the good work and thanks again for the tips.
Too much liquid gasket, 2-3mm max. It will glog your oil suction point if they detached inside the pan...

Have you any suggestion about materials?
Just done the exact same thing lol. did your repair work?
1.8 engine ?
1.9 sdi but all the mk4 sumps are similar to replace
Ok thanks
Did your subframe have to come off to get the sump off?
No need to touch the subframe, you will see this when your under the car
and do all mk4 golf have the sensor
I know all sdi tdi gti have the low level sensor but to be honest I'm not sure about other models.
no some dont
I have a 2006 golf tdi, and mine does not have the sensor.
Wasting my time listing to him describe every detail
