Do you have to do the stage 2 tune? I have no desire to make more power, just don’t want all the emissions crap. Is it possible to just do a delete and “regular” tune mostly to erase the CEL?

How did you install the s5 logo on the grill

What size is the v-band on the reductant injector? Mine didn't have a clamp and was basically fused together, had to knock it loose with a hammer and a screwdriver...

FYI, for anyone considering this on an X-Drive vehicle such as an N57 X5, it's a monumental pain in the ass to do yourself. To get the DPF out requires you to drop the subframe and to wrestle nearly every single bolt out leading up to the DPF in the most uncomfortable positions imaginable. BMW really goes out of their way to ensure that accessing the DPF and everything in between is as difficult as humanly possible. I'm about 12 hours into the job as somebody that has never worked on cars, and I'm still not done. For an average joe without a lift, this will easily be a multi-day project. So far, I've removed all of the under panels, removed the entire exhaust, removed the entire intake system for easier access from the top, dropped the subframe, removed a motor mount, removed the motor mount arm and have raised the engine to give me the access I need. Also gutted my SCR (cut it open, took the stuffing out and welded it back together) for an OEM look. Right now, I'm struggling to wrestle the DPF out, turns out that the sensors on the filter are baked in and are preventing me from sliding the DPF out of the giant gaping hole I created. I had to order specialty sensor removal sockets, and if those don't work, I foresee myself taking an angle grinder to them and replacing them with new sensors once the DPF is out. If removing the sensors still doesn't work, I will have to cut the vacuum hose tubes attached to the DPF with said angle grinder. And if that doesn't work, I'm going to borrow the JAWS of death from the local fire department and will rip this filter out one way or another. I feel like if you can remove a DPF from a newer x-drive vehicle, you can just about do anything. I've really learned a lot. Or... Simply drive to Canada and pay $4000 for someone to do this for you. If that was an option, I'd do it.

do you need supporting parts like intake etc for the stage 2 tune or no?

bro i can’t get the wiper motor wires off

I bought a oil funnel kit and was let down by the fact the 4th gen has a new designed oil filler cap :-/ I was still able to use it, but not carefree like it would of been had it fit snug on top. I ended up having to hold with one hand and pour with the other.. Still faster than the smaller funnel I had before

Interesting, my 2024 MK8 specifies 0w-30 504.00 spec

I just bought a Mk8 a few months ago. Im about halfway to the first oil change. This is a lot easier looking than the Volkswagen people were saying. Think I'll keep doing it myself. Thanks for the video!

How did you go about connecting the coolant hoses together?

If this system is so great, why is it blowing black smoke?

Greetings from Vancouver, BC. At what mileage would you recommend the first oil change? My 23’ GTi has 6,923km at the moment and I’m getting conflicting info on when to do my first oil change. I noticed on your video, the car has 6,944km which isn’t far from my mileage. The conflicting info I got was to either change my oil at 8,000km and techs at the dealership told me to run with it till I hit 15,000km or one year. It’s been exactly one year this month that I took delivery of the car and there’s an oil change reminder on my dash.

Thanks

Are you in jail? Lol! Seriously, is this USA legal?

Where is the DEF tank and how much work is it to remove? Seems like carrying 16 pounds of ammonia plus the hardware for the rest of the life of the car is a waste.

Is there any supporting mods needed. I’ve got a 2013 320d. Just wondering if there will be anything I need to change for example oil intake intercooler and what not

Is liqui molly " better" than say.. mobile 1, Amsoil!? Don't know much about LM

I just installed DTM 170 on my new Golf R

Can you send a link to buy the parts for a 2014 BMW 328d 🙏🏻

For those who, like me, don't own a 32 mm socket, a 1-1/4 inch socket will also work.

Add another bonus is you get to buy a new transfer case because the increase in power will tear it apart

Did you use Sport Mode on all those runs?

Did you have to adjust the headlights when you installed the springs??

OPF Version? Sonds sick!

You need to delete the SCR system (ECU) from the head unit, via E-Sys, otherwise you’ll get the adblue date-gated service errors/reminders. Also, don’t bother unplugging the SCR in the trunk. Just pull the fuse. Otherwise, everything else is bang on. 👍

Okanagan? I thought those pulls were filmed in Mexico? 😉

You dont put shit water downed regular gas into a turbo engine

Just wanted to thank you for this video, man. I bought a mk8 GTI this past fall and needed an oil change but have never done it on any car I’ve owned. This definitely helped a ton.

Pollute everyone's interior cabin space behind you with your Nox and particulates poisoning. Fantastic. This applies to all vehicles 1m to 100m behind you.

why does everyone use LiquidMoly. Amsoil Is way better. Its the only thing I use in my MK8

Great video. I'm about to do my first ever oil change myself at the end of the break in period in a few weeks. Can you link your extraction tool and torque wrench? I'm looking at purchasing those two items.

I have all the tools and familiar with working on my cars. This looks pretty straightforward and relatively easy to do. Would you agree?

Looks so much like Kelowna

What brand oil extracted do you use?

Wow great video. Ive worked in quick lubes for quite a few years and Im a bit of an oil snob. So nice to see someone do a proper oil change and this comparison with extraction V drain plug was surprising. If the mk7 leaves a quarter of a qt after extraction, then thats enough for me to use drain plug only. But if I had a mk8 I would see no prob using extraction.

Just ordered mine. Very excited.

With the tune will it pass emissions?

Do I need to use an oil extractor or can I just drain it from the bottom?

What mpg increases can i expect?

Can you still ship to california?

Great Video Timbo

Epic turnout!

Alex is always horsin around

Looked like a great show this year !

Great weekend. BBQ at T3 was awesome. 😁👍

Great vid, keep ‘em coming! 😎

You'll need a security T25 for the underbelly

Came for the oil pan plug torque spec. Thanks!

I’ve known Tim since he live in Kamloops. He’s helped me then and still helping with all my Volkswagen/Audi needs now. He lives it and breathes cars. True car enthusiast. 😁👍
