► Since we had to replace the oil pan on our MK7 after smashing the oil pan (oops), we figured it'd be the perfect opportunity to show how to install a steel variant that should provide a little more protection for the undercarriage of your vehicle.
Our guy Nate Vincent, driver of the #72 GTI TCR in the Pirelli World Challenge Series, walks us through it.

Just FYI for anyone freaked out by all the warning lights in the dash: it is normal to get those after disconnecting the battery, they'll all go out after driving a bit
Also, the pan is from a gen 1 ea888 (I heard)
For anyone interested in doing this install, the REIN oil pan was the mk6 GTI OEM pan. If you buy this pan you need replacement hardware, as two of the bolts are sized differently on the mk6. If you plan on doing this installation, make sure to purchase replacement hardware as your current mk7 oil pan bolts wont all fit.
I used a T30 torx to remove the bolts and install new bolts
Hello. I have 1.8 TSi CDAA engine (year 2010). Looking under the engine I can see there is a red rubber sealing on perimeter of lower oil pan (I have steel pan too). Did they use rubber sealing in past which did not require locktite? Or do I have to use locktite anyway? I checked other videos where they used plastic oil pan with rubber sealing and the also did not use any glue (just pressed the rubber sealing).
Thanks
If I change the oil pan with this metal one how much quantity of oil I need to put after?În my CJSA originally enter 5.2 L , but on CDAA engine from where is otiginally the steel pan enter 4.6L.
Where can I find a replacement baffle? I looked on the site and couldn't find one. Thanks!
What is the pound per square inch on those boats put them back to pan?
If they cost-cut to that degree on such a critical area you can imagine what they do elsewhere.
Plastic throttle body plates
@@stutterz45 holy crap plastic throttle body plates? i didn't even know they could do that
Although I’ve heard that since the oil pan is quite low on these cars, they’re made out of plastic since they’re prone to direct hits. Instead of a metal oil pan ripping out the threads of the aluminum block and possibly cracking it, the plastic pan just cracks.
People who have had harder hits with metal upgrades say the same thing as well. I’m going to go for a metal shield instead of an upgraded oil pan.
@@Chevsilverado alltrack belly pan and done. Oem part and very strong and covers it completely
@@Chevsilverado The block is cast iron.
@fcp euro I know you guys have the pre molded gasket also correct
A pre-molded gasket i'm not sure on. Please email us at products@fcpeuro.com and our VW Catalog Manager will look into this for you.
My plastic one cracked ordered the steel one Can you use the same bolts for the plastic sump bolts
Dont think so man, just tried and 1 or 2 bolts didnt want to screw in all the way. Hopefully i just didnt strip it somehow, didnt start threading them by hand so 🤷🏽♂️
Arent you supposed to tight the bolt in a star (cross) pattern? Thank you
It is generally a good practice to tight the bolts in a star/cross pattern, yes.
Specs torque??
Hey man, i just tried switching from plastic to metal and i found that 1 or 2 or the bolts were too long. They did not want to sit flush to the pan. Any suggestions?
He said he used shorter bolts in the video...
why use RTV when you can use Fel-Pro OS 30821 gasket?
Gonna be replacing my golf r oil pan with a steel one and I’m thinking about going with the fel pro instead of the rtv..
Have you done the swap yourself with the fel pro?
This will void the warranty ?
The answer is the same every time. If the dealership can determine the failure is directly responsible for your claim, then yes. Example, a tune probably won’t have an effect on a warranty claim about an infotainment system issue.
What are the requirements to tighten the bolts down on the oil pan? How much foot per lbs?
Should be around 6 foot pounds, not a whole lot, you can strip the block pretty easily.
@@fcpeuro can y’all make a video how to replace the upper oil pan aswell?
