- best deal on goodyear air hose check this out amzn.to/3b5cJvy Correction on the 2009 and up the oil spec is 507. 505.1 is for 2006
I have also decided to change the fuel pump on a maintenance interval of 100k miles on the HPFP because it usually lasts that long and I dont want to let it go bad causing metal shavings in the system.
Don't be discouraged to buy a TDI. JUst follow proper maintenance with recommended fluids. Fluids cost a bit more but at 10K oil change intervals and 100K mi timing belt intervals they are actually cheaper to use. I have over 375K miles on the '04 BEW tdi and other then timing belts and routine maintenance, I changed the alternator and lift pump in the fuel tank. The cost per mile on this car is far lower then any other car i have owned.
totally agree. if you do your own maintenance it is a much better car.
i guess Im kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
@Tomas Chris flixportal :P
@Mekhi Beckett Thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!
@Tomas Chris Glad I could help :)
06 tdi is my first car. Its been having an issue with accelerating for about the past 2 years. Its finally enough to be noticed by the mechanic and sure enough its the camshaft. Im at 380 km and have used the best oil.
Apparently there is a fix for that now. I had the same problem on my 06. other than that it is a great engine. Read around something like drilling the cam bearings. then it does not cause any more cam wear. I bought A OEM cam and have another 120k miles on it now. may start wearing out again I will do the upgrade when I do the second cam. Pentosin oil
All TDIs from 1997-2003 are free of these issues. No cam issues, no DPFs or HPFP. They’re just old cars now.
Yup, ALH was the best motor they ever made.
@Bob Jo that's the one in the review?
What about 2004 Passat GLS TDI ??
Yes, 1,9 tdi is best diesel VW has ever made. My -99 Passat has 361500 miles on it now, no problem with engine. 1,9 tdi, 115 hp AJM engine.
03 jetta tdi 5 speed. i use cheap castro’s edge full synthetic 5w-40 $30 for a gallon. have it’s whole life. (currently 215k) ZERO PROBLEMS OUT OF THE ENGINE besides timing belt changed at 92k. only $275 to change. i drive 106 miles round trip 5 days a week. 49-53 miles a gallon every time i check. no need for expensive ass oil. 50$ + for vw recommended oil. great car great fuel mileage. summary-over 200k miles and i’ve spent less than 300$ in work other then general maintenance....
I am assuming you did the belt change yourself.
Is it the 1.9 or 2.0?
The 1.9 is bulletproof
Why tdi engine emit smoke from dipstick? Anyone?
PVC valve little smoke from exhaust and oil on your engine and turbo lines@@indiandudeaqua
VW spec oils (low SAPS) oil are only necessary so as to not ruin your DPF with hot ash. Otherwise, any high quality 5w30 synthetic is likely fine. I personally run Amsoil 500 07 spec anyway, but I know I'll be deleting my DPF. So any prior damage to that from improper SAPS count oil won't be a big deal for me.
Shouldn't damage anything else though. Just DPF.
I have an 04 w BEW.. purchased w RECORDS FROM NEW... service work.etc... Yet still after I purchased did some diggin for work done to it had 2 cams put in before 100k. ya service work done at vw.. crap castrol oil.... must be.. I got at 200k w bad cam.. long story later.. $5k later NOW i have a great car. thnx to awsome guy in state of MO. ohh and im in MN..
A liter of oil or atf works for fuel additive or fuel pump lubricant. Liter conversion 4th of a gallon . I'm in Canada so we use liters
The cam was going flat in my 2006 BRM engine around 130,000 miles. I used 5-40 T6. I seriously doubt it was the oil brand that made any difference. Old wives tale.
Nope it’s the oil interval. Rotella T6 every 5000 miles will allow it to fun well over 500k miles.
It's not just the oil. The good oil is mainly for the turbo, which runs too hot for conventional oil. The cams after the ALH engines (such as on BRM, BHW, BEW, etc) are very aggressive... PD engine....aggressive cams that were not made of a hard enough material (such as how colt cams does it).
Dang, this video discouraged me from buying a TDI.
reality sucks sometimes. they are particular cars and if not done right.
Get a 1.9 tdi engine code agr, its 90 hp but those are the best tdi engines, cheap af and super reliable
That seems like quite a bit of a hassle to own. I wanted this car for the fuel savings of course, but my 05 Civic already gets 30mpg highway, and I haven't had any serious issues with it. Only minor maintenance.
City mileage is way better on diesel. Gas cars even the civic barely get 22mpg city if that. But IMO honda is my second choice for mpg.
Owned 5 tdi's here. You'll have to drive about 75000mi to offset the cost of $2000 cam job when compared to gas(25mpg vs 40mpg). And with the cost of diesel in CA it might be more... You'll have to do all your maintenance yourself to feel like you're saving any money. The high maintenance costs offset any fuel savings you get. I struggled with this for years.... They are fun to drive but really don't save you any money at all.
Thank you for making this video. Very helpful and much appreciated.
Holy god. I wanted to get some info on these cars. I thought it was pretty dumb when I read he replaces the HPFP basically with the timing belt. Then he goes on a rant ending with the turbo purposely leaks oil into the exhaust. The bs is too deep. Timing belt is every 120k. There are some facts sprinkled in but my god the bs. It’s deep. So very deep.
120k on a timing belt lol good luck lol 60k or 5 years is the norm
@@TCBOT lol I drove a gaser that had original t belt on at 180k and water pump went before belt so yeah 120k isn't unrealistic.
One guy went 300 on original Belt on this car. But OMG that was stupid IMO.....Risk the belt snapping and ruin the engine not good.
Early 2.0TDI commonrails from model year 2009 (at least here in Europe) had HPFP failures. The dealers said here first that "You have filled gas" and that caused the pump failure. One guy had Audi A4 B8 2.0 TDI with pump failure and the dealer quoted the guy 8000 euros for repair!!
This pump thing in early commonrails is a DESIGN FLAW!!! Nothing to do with fuel quality. The roller flips side ways to the cam and grinds it flat.
Older diesels (BKD, BKN etc.) with pump injectors did not have this flaw..
Oil quality is an absolute MUST. VW 505.01 is the code for pump injector motors. 507.00 for newer commonrails. Brand does not matter, it's the spesification. About 20000km/13000mi is good interval for oil change.
yea for sure I am changing my HPFP at 100k miles. and yea your right on that oil. some guys are using Rotella T6 but I am not on that bandwagon
The pump doesn't need to be 9000 frigging dollars. You just need to educated yourself and do it your for 500. Change out your own timing belt for 300. Check all your hoses. Change your own oil. Research all the repairs now, before ya even have any problems and you can do it when you want to prevent problems later. Its not a hard engine to work on.
Well I WAS going to consider buy a TDI Jetta, but after this video, I'll go with a Prius. I had an '07 with just under 200,00 miles and virtually no issues at all. I shouldn't have sold it.
507.00 is a 5W30 NOT a 5W40.
correct and noted thanks for watching
I'm looking at 05 tdi diesel wagon, has 152k miles for 8k. Anything I should beware of?
Great info. I am looking to buy a 2014 passat tdi, hope it goes well.
Mine on 268k miles
Original
clutch
Box
Cam
Fuel pump
All original apart from service bits brakes and tyres
Same with me but I'm at 305k miles
same, at 292k
Same here lads 220000ks
I use regular delo 400 and I have had no problems 350000 miles on my TDI
Freedom Forall American what year is it?
it’s the oil interval. Rotella T6 every 5000 miles will allow it to run well over 500k miles.
Not problematic.. they're particular.
IMHO I like how the problems seem to be generally generic!
particular to the mechanically inclined owner problematic to the non mechanically inclined owner. ha ha.
The following is copied and pasted from a VW oil specs list
*******************************
VW 505.01
Special engine oil for VW turbodiesel engines with pump-injector-unit and for the V8 Commonrail turbodiesel engines. Meets ACEA B4 SAE 5W-40 specification.
VW 506.01
These oils are especially for "Pumpe-Düse" (unit injector or "PD" engines) running on extended service intervals (30,000 - 50,000km / 24 months). Oil change is indicated by the electronic service indicator.
VW 507.00
Low SAPS oils suitable for Euro 4 engines and almost all VAG diesel engines from 2000 onwards with extended service intervals, unitary injector pumps and also Pumpe-Düse ("PD") engines. Excludes V10, R5 engines and VW Commercial vehicles without fitted DPF (diesel particulate filters) - these must use a 506 01 specification oil.
*******************************
What I know,
505.01 is 5w40 and 5w30
506.01 is 0w30
507.00 is 5w30 and 0w30
If its a PD or common rail engine, I'd use 5w30 507.00. Most of the oil brand websites have an Which Oil app to tell you which oil to use.
A good oil filter is equally important. Hengst or Mann is my choice.
Just buy a 1995-2003 ALH motor vw jetta tdi those engines werent as refulated by government standards as the 2006 and later models
I got one 2009 Jetta😊
VW recommends Castrol 5w30
You can use Any Oil that carries a the Approval number s talked about earlier. Castrol pays huge money for that marketing on the oil cap. Liqui Moly, Total, Fuchs , Pentosin, Motul Mobil1 all have approvals. Castrol is no better than any of these, perhaps less quality even.
@@sulliey yea for sure I dont see the 507 or 505.1 on the bottle so it doent meet VW specs.
9,000$ is only sometimes the case depending on the nature of the high-pressure fuel pump failure WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. Replacing the HPFP before it fails is a few hundred dollars for the part and easy to replace oneself.
good point and made a video on that subject. Dont wait for failure maintain I am doing mine at 100k miles. which is pretty early but better safe than sorry.
It's not that easy to replace and the parts are more than a few hundred as you claim.
If you do ever have the injection pump go out on you again do a cp3 conversion
I will look into that
doing that one on the 2.0 pretty soon. less than 100k miles hasnt gone out yet bus I am doing it before it does.
thanks for your tip on a previous video, my tdi engine would not turn , ir turned out to be the alternator was seized, as you suggested in ur vid ,saved me fitting a replacement engine as suggested by a local mechanic , hmm not a v good one
I am glad to hear it was not the engine. Very unusual to have the alternator seize up. Usually it makes a great deal of noise before it does that. Yea one of the old rules of thumb is to remove the belt and turn the engine to see if anything is holding it up. Also not the flywheel either. flywheel usually makes a shuttering noise when you turn off the engine for several months before you have a flywheel that comes apart.
Great detail, just bought a 05 sdi non turbo 150k miles for 900 , drove 200 miles home last night no prob, a bit shuddery puling off in 1st gear, and a bit rough on idle, no service history but for 900 ,worth the risk, now have two vw diesel great cars!
I’m buying one because I want a diesel but I don’t tow
Just got an 06 tdi with 236k miles.....i see an empty wallet in my future
My car has almost 200k miles, what exact service would you recomend?
1.9 TDi great idea… fantastic engine! 2.0 TDi in this generation of VW I wouldn’t bother
Well now were putting on CP3 HPFP pumps. Once you do that the 2.0 is in lots of ways better than the old 1.9. But the 1.9 BRM is the King of mileage still. IMO
@@Mikefngarage no the ALH from the 02 is the king of mileage. ALH is the most reliable and longest lasting tdi engine
@@joshr6685 oh yea for sure if your into the stick shift thing those were perfect. For automatics in that era the 09g was not that strong. DSG is much stronger and easier to service. Clutches need to be changed, sometimes you have the mecatronic issues. Fairly easy in car repair. Now I am going with 2.0l and putting on cp3 euro pumps. Not as good mileage. but if you can tune and straight pipe where you live. then they are super reliable and good mileage as well.
@@Mikefngarage …What is your opinion on a 2014 VW Jetta with 2.0 Turbo Diesel engine, automatic DSG transmission?
13,000 original miles, purchased at auction by VW dealer.
@@82dupont Better than the 2015. I would buy it if its priced right. Just remember at the around 100k timing belt. and I would put a CP3 pump on it at that point. Then your golden.
I fixed the fuel pump myself. Just make sure you get the OEM gasket kit. In any case, a new one isn't that expensive.
The HPFP ? get the Cp3 pump now kits available. Best fix and Permanent no more worries.
is this a problem marvel mystery oil could solve?- thought i tell a joke too
Did you say it would be 9k fore a fuel pump
I currently have a alh tdi but I think it’s time to get a brm
Hello bro....please can you do a video of how to maintain the 06.I Have it hand I'm suffering from bad mechanics who doesn't know about the car. Please and please.
Why not just buy a TDI with 30,000 mi and sell it at 80 or 90,000 mi?
all you need to do is the maintenance package and go another 90 or 100....Still not expensive to own.
Why is your EGR not deleted if you care about health of the engine?
California regulations lol
Yeah as much as I appreciate this guy's work, he's not really right on a lot of stuff. First thing that kind of oil that he's using, it's just really not good. Secondly, he sounds like the guy that listens to every single thing that the dealer tells him. Just my two cents, but personally I'd look at a different video
Lol turbo is designed to leak oil into exhaust hahahahahaha. Yeah no
tyler boudreau I’m dying because of the stupidity in this world hahahahaha😂
@@dws5951 guess you dont understand sarcasm....... hence the "yeah no"... moron
9000 $ for a HPFP ? LOL! They cost 4-500$ for the part and you can do it yourself, where do you get these numbers ? LOL
semecristian I was saying the same thing too this guy numbers are wrong yes 4-$500 is about right
if the hpfp spews metal all thru the fuel system and go to the stealership to have it fixed
@@coldmotor8848 that is dealer repair pricing. DIY for about 3500 with injectors and all 3 pumps. Plus need to program new injectors with Vag com or VCDS.
If it's a catastrophic failure, it is possible. The last time we did one it was about 5-6k as I remember. As far as doing it yourself, if you're capable, have the right tools and the time yes you can. However, you will need to replace far more than just the HPFP. Also a remanufactured pump is 900.00. New? 1500.00 Then add the fuel injectors, lines, lift pump, fuel tank, filters and miscellaneous and you'll easily see 3500 or more for parts + labor.
Jeez.. Talk about problematic and expensive to fix.
so if your HPFP lasts a long time it's due to the additive? that's a leap. Anyway good video overall thanks.
This is just a tip to buying specific year and gen. Your prices are way off bro. If you can turn a wrench the maintenance is pretty cheap
I would say anyone who can fix their own car should consider one of these. People who cant fix it themselves will get raped at the dealer.
Mike Fn Garage you are correct. Goes for BMW and Mercedes also. FCP Euro has been my good friend. And saved me quite a bit.
TDI buyers guide: Buy an ALH TDI. Period.
Juan Martinez he didn't even mention those.
Duramax-fan man what’s a ALH tdi?
@@blixx87 It's one of the older VW TDI engines. I think it is in the MK4 VWs. Better MPG than the Common Rail diesels in the newer one and much more power potential.
@@blixx87 Older car than what I have I dont like the automatics in those they break and it is over for the whole car.
I’m an AHU fan, easier to take care of.
Lack luster video.
Please have more points in your video.
Talk about the other failure points: Headliners, Door Harness, DMF disintegration, sun roof, pressure sensors, window relays, headlight and tail light harnesses, etc.
My factory BRM camshaft has over 206 thousand miles without excessive wear.
Always used Rotella T6 or Royal Purple.
the only think I worry about when using T6 is that the oil residue may cause more build up in the EGr cavities.
Castrol is the default oil that VW dealers use all this bs about german oil is dumb
Actually put rotella t6 in them and you'll never have a problem
Shaded scar
What is rotela??
@@vladimirart758 Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 full synth. I've got an ALH with 330k miles and its been running great!
When ( TIMER--BELT) break (GAME---OVER) heard it from ( ICE--TEA) from (SVU)
Can u please tell me from where can I download the owner manual for the same model but with manual transmission please reply and thanks
Man!!!! NO 505.01 in a car with DPF NO NO NO!!!!!!
For the engine on the right side ONLY 507.00 NEVER 505.01 NEVER!!!!
Neither of these have DPF's. So it is 505.01
09+ 2.0 TDIs do have DPFs.
Just bought a 2012 yesterday... what oil do I pit in the manual say 5w 30 or even 5w40 ? wanna make this car last
Anything else I need to know my first diesel turbo jetta...
@@JosePerez-bi4ge I use liquid molly with no problems
Funny, you used the wrong oil in a video to tell people how to care for the car. TDIs require 507 spec.
yes in 09 and later earlier uses 505.1
correction in description mispoke in video about 09 and later
Wrong! From the 2013 TDI manual: Diesel engines with diesel particulate filter use VW 507 00
read the video description it says 507 on 2009 and later earlier takes 505.1
Read your own reply 4 above your last (in comments) where you got it wrong again.
With respect this guy doesn’t know that much. Mostly not based on fact. You want your engine to last change the oil with Rotella T6 every 5000 miles!
Actually you’re the one who doesn’t know that much! Respect
Replacing the HPFP is $9000.00? Can you back that up with credible information?
Yea it is all over (there is a fix its called cp3 conversion).....Dealer cost at least 9000....New injectors fuel pump, all 3 fuel pumps are ruined because they have magnets in the motors fuel rail should be replaced. all lines cleaned out. . Fuel tank needs to be removed and cleaned total cost $9000. Here is one forum they are all over the place. forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/catastrophic-high-pressure-fuel-pump-failure.455699/ parts from cheapest place. www.cascadegerman.com/product/high-pressure-fuel-pump-hpfp-kit-cbea-cjaa/
I have done extensive research on those tdi vw i will stick with Toyota
toyota is super reliable but the gas mileage just doesn't compare. The thing about tdi is you gotta do some of your own work and deal with a bit more. The best honest ratings on fuel mileage are honda and VW. all others I have found dont even come close to the economy ratings. Thanks for watching.
Mike F yes that is true
I was a Toyota MDT for 25 years. Depending on what year TDI you're looking at, they will last longer. Toyota's are not what they used to be.
206 Tdi 405,000
I think the 06 is the best car they have ever made. it has some issues like cam goes flat but totally minor compared to later models.
Endless money pit...
If you dont service it yourself they really can be. But for me It has been a great investment. Very few problems and super amazing fuel mileage. Super reliable and fun to drive. BUt I do see the point for most people
That coolant os not original. It is very clear if it is pink. If the original (G5x) is used it does not have to be changed... Ever. If you use that cheap stuff it will have to be changed every 4-6 years..
defintately pink on the 06 I use pentosin on everything or VW dealer brand.
goooood
High pressure fuel pump new 150euro used 40euro in Ireland
that is cheap. we need those here. about 600 USD. for factory original. THere is a retrofit that is cheaper but I dont know anything about them
When shopping for a TDI, 2009 through 2014, any particular year preference? Looking for Jetta wagon. All those use the DEF fluid? Thanks
You lots me at 9K repair ... I will stick to Toyota
there is a new upgrade CP3 pump. then you never need to change it again. parts cost about 2 grand
You really missed out on the whole what to checkout like head gasket signs or blow by tests like most diesels. But everyone please do your research not this video haha
lots more to look into but these are just the basics of the VW.
Is 200k high mileage for a tdi with good maintenance
+Zavian Groff. Not really all mine are over that looking at 400k before I expect major issues
not really. With proper oil service, should be good. Cams are problematic in these BRM`S, so expect to replace it with lifters etc.
I have a 04 caddy tdi' 165000 miles' use dipotane fuel aditve every 5.000 mls or so' never had a problem with the van' bought new.
dont waste your money on expensive oil , its all the same... and additives are a waste of time and can do more damage to your engine...spend your money on some girls and beer...cars are so boring...cheers...
Replace the cam yourself for $300
you obviously have no idea what your speaking of, lol....entertaining, but not educational. Audience, do your own research, please, please, please....
In Europe is like this - With DPF - 507.00 - 5W30 - NOT ENTERTAINING - IS A FACT - RESEARCH SOME MORE........................... LOL............. do you work for VW????????
He makes some great points but fills in the gaps with entertaining theories. like most of us.
If you are going to call someone out help us all out and point out what is incorrect and offer the correct info...otherwise you risk being white noise.
VW JUNK ! !!
they certainly aren't for everyone. I would say particular. IF maintained properly they can last a lots of miles. more than most other cars but the small stuff can make people hate them.
pink😂😂😂
Easy solution to all those problems GET A TOYOTA
Okay, Scotty Kilmer
Toyota's are not what they used to be. They have plenty of issues.
Toyota full of shit
Sounds like a crap car.
Its not. The engines are bulletproof. If you use good oil and get regular maintainance, they last for 500.000 miles. The 2.0 is another story. The 1.9 TDI is the best one
Man really don’t know what u talking about lol
The turbo is not designed to leak oil into the exhaust wtf
in small amounts in the intake. and yes it is. then it gets burned through to the exhasust.
