If the manufacturer's could make the whole car out of plastic they would. I hate that feeling when you know its going to break and then it does! Nice video 👍
I absolutely agree I said the same thing to my friend that tube should be metal in my opinion, but more and more plastic parts translate in more and more profit because manufacturers know sooner or later it will be replaced ... cheers mate 👍
Your a good man helping out a friend. But yes, some days it's just not worth getting out of bed for. But you got it handled and we got to see a good video. :)
I was worried you were gonna say that the coolant pipe would have to come off again to install the dipstick tube. Love the VW engines & their oil leaks!
Thomas EXOVCDS luckily I didn’t have to, that intercooler hard plastic pipe was good enough but I was worried at one point too... VW OIL LEAKS I had a Passat sport 7 years ago and the same oil leaks, but it should be a lot better now we changed the oil filter housing gasket and new oil dipstick tube I think the old one was leaking too 🤞👍
Oh Igor... if I would make a video of when things don't go as planned.... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 But the important is keep calm, and find patient to go through.... But hey, you still made a video out of it... so is not all bad... 😉
LM Auto Repairs oh man the coolant leak repair video was going so well until I had to wait for parts, finished the car in the dark all good and then this happened 🤬🤬🤬... but I agree with you those things happen working on cars ... cheers Luis 👍
This one sucked for sure bud my friend was ready to go to work and that thing break off, we have the VAG supplier TPS here but had to wait for next day delivery not too bad ... cheers mate 👍
How's she goin'? Isn't that always the way, you start a small job and it ends up being a big one!!! What a lot of work to get to be able to put in the dipstick tube. You did a nice job on it though. Was the oil level OK? Take 'er easy!!!
i hate plastic parts around the engine... they are so fragile after all heat cycles and time. manufacturers are cutting cost and this is the price you have to pay later...
First problem is you said you were working on your friends car. Whether it’s a friends car or a family member’s car to me it seems that if something can go wrong it will. Just trying to help someone out and becomes a pain in the ass

Ah man, multiple failures. And right when you think you're done! 😆 of only people knew what we go through lol
Absolutely bud, so frustrating the car was done all I wanted to do is check the oil level and bang 💥☹️... cheers mate 👍
No matter what you do in life, there are days when things go wrong and at the end of the days work you are behind where you started from.
Ah man that sucks. At least you can get parts locally.

Grampie's Workshop Thanks buddy , she’s ok now no more coolant leak and the oil level was just below half way.... cheers 👍
Yeah I've been there 😂 Nothing catastrophic but it's a pain in the arse all the same LOL
Niamh Healy pain in the arse for sure 🤣, when you think you finished boom 💥, not just yet 😁 cheers Niamh👍

I totally agree with you... I just think friends and family can be a little bit more understanding...👍
That car is garbage. Made of plastic
