How to Replace an Oil Pan (Volkswagen 2.0T) 

He doesn’t seem happy like he does with doughnut lol

I STG I only clicked bc I was like hold up... wait a minute... ZACH???

This damn volkswagen is my money pit

Yep he was money pit before Donut

Thats almost as funny as the size of your micropeens

His first "money pit" was a mk 7.5 gti. It's on this channel. Check it out.

I was about to say 😂

Knew i saw this guy somewhere before Donut. Cant believe it took this long for me to realize. Small world.

Awesome! Let us know if you have any questions; we'd love to help.

This, DAP and Humble Mechanic is where I learned everything about my gti. Also watched the amateurs, but video quality is not the best. I tried to do myself some videos and it’s hard without good camera setup and light

Thank you for the info, getting ready to do this and the extra info will help.

The sealant is the gasket. Permatex makes better spec gaskets than premade bs

Lol

Plumpy looking

You will want to scrape the old RTV off, but it can be reused.

I agree with you with the whole why sealant and no gasket. Id much rather use a gasket myself. But as for gasket and sealant together, it allows for leaks. Most gaskets are rubberish material and when sealant dries on it, it slips against each ither

Lol, I’m realizing that as well, but it’s coming in so I’ll just install it lmao

Did the old plug fit?

I just installed mine, took me about 2 hours

I too have noticed that in the last several years repair shops (not just dealer service shops) have ramped up quite noticeably their fees as well as their upselling. I was quoted like $850 to change an alternator for my very old '97 Mitsubishi Montero. And most recently I took my '12 VW CC to get the spark plug coil packs replaced but they advised me that I needed 3 other services. I opted for 2 of the more complicated ones and told them I will replace my own spark plugs. BEWARE OF REPARE SHOPS OVERPRICING AND UPSELLS FOR SERVICES YOU DON'T REALLY NEED.

Lacy Petty-Washington oml bruh I hope not I just cracked my pan and I’m bouta get a quote tmro

I was quoted almost 900 in parts and labor for oil filter housing replacement on my 08 TT 2.0, hard pass. I replaced it with an ECS Tuning heavy duty housing for a fraction of the price lol

That’s cheap

Vw quoted me 595 for a new pan gasket and labor included

Oil pans, depending on your vehicle, go from 100$ to 200$. They'll charge you for the sealant as well, and the mechanic's time, so I am guessing somewhere from 250$ to 400$ would be a reasonable price. If I were you, and if you wanna save a bit of money, I would go and buy cheap car stands ( I believe ramps are more expensive). I am not sure if you would absolutely need two of them and if the car absolutely needs to be leveled out to perform this job, but technically if you already have a jack, one stand would suffice for the other side. As for the pan and sealant, I recommend checking on www.rockauto.com they usually have cheaper prices than mechanics, even after shipping. You could also get your stuff delivered in Canada with Kinek and get it from there if you have a valid passport.

@@maddmax1993666 do not get under a car if you're supporting it with a jack of any type! Always use a jackstand. The above comment could get you killed, one stand will not suffice (unless one stand is all you're using I guess)

I did it on my mk5 gti and it had 4 extra steps than this

We had no check engine light after the install.

Why would you?

You need a torque wrench

Wish VW gave us the Scirocco here in the USA!

Its a tube which is most likely ln the lovest part of the pan

Silicone is the Gasket.

550!! I paid 1,348 👁👄👁

Hope Flores damn

I realized i have a leak on my 18 ecoboost. It has mods (as why I realized, installing a bov) lmao ima take it to the dealership. If they deny service ill do it myself, and send a nice “cancel my warranty” since my payments would go down AND they get a claim saying the dealership owes the finance company 3k (me). B/c then im just losing money. So fuck it. I mean id win regardless

Do maintenance yourself. Only take it in if it’s engine or transmission related.
