What a helpful and well produced video. I'm definitely going to get this important and relatively inexpensive bit of preventative maintenance done next time I get the oil changed. Thank you.
You're a legend , I'm dreading those bolts next to the gearbox but I suppose I'll have to do it haha. I've worked in mechanics for about 7 years I just keep putting this job off I don't know what it is . Just those awkward bolts. I know full well I will end up stripping it 😂
Love your videos man. Attempting this soon. Do I require new gasket for turbo oil return pipe? How soon after completion should I wait to start car and drive? Appreciate old video, so not expecting a quick reply! Christian
Hi I know your the man that could help me diagnose what’s wrong with my mk1 Tt 225 ,wen cold it runs perfect for only 3-4 mile then oil sign comes on dash then the top end ticks loudly I ignored it and kept boosting it until it smoked badly wen I did pull over it literally puddled oil badly directly under sump and cats were smoking and dripping oil thing is wen it’s cold it still runs perfectly for 3-4 mile could you please help me pin point 1 the reason it’s clearly starving the head of oil wen up to temp and the possible reason it’s leaking all it’s oil out wen turned off
Top shelf! Thanks heaps for all of your uploads. I have a stripped sump plug bolt. I’m wondering if it can be tapped to a larger size sump bolt. Have you ever seen it done that way? Otherwise I’ll have to take the sump off and maybe have it welded and re-tapped. These TT are very rare here in Australia so I don’t like my chances finding a good secondhand sump.
What's the best way to clean the sump and pick up pipe? I watched one TH-cam video, where the guy said he was going to wash it with gasoline. Also, is there a gasket for the pick up pipe?
Brilliant, great Job Lad..! Gotta do mine asap A3 1.8T Just got the Dreaded Alarm and Flashing Oil Sign on Dash..! How much were Your bits, i.e, Sealer and Pick-up..? Thanx...
Nice. interested as maybe buying a low mileage one myself. I’ve read that subframe needs to be dropped. Did you have to do that ? Also is it advisable to do the pump too?
CL Vision the subframe is not in the way at all, just the plastic undertray. The oil pump is only a few extra bolts while you are in there but if its low mileage i doubt it will be needed
BWS TT cheers. In other videos sub frame seems to be present. Is there a difference in Quattro / non Quattro models ? Also can I ask if you run your own garage or do work for others ? Also when you say if it’s low mileage doubt it will need doing do you mean pump or pick up or both.... it’s around 60k full Audi history,
Mate, those awkward bolts by the gearbox.. You are completely using the wrong tool. You need a 5mm ball hex long allen bit. With that, it's literally a piece of piss.
wizkid01 thats another valid option- but as you can see in the video using one hand on the camera and one hand for the tool i still managed each one with 1 attempt, because thats the way im used to doing it

Your video's on Audi TT's are bang on and the amount of motors on the road down to you must be loads. Welldone and thanks

Hats off to you for being legitimately honest about the process.
Tricky until the third time 😂😂😂🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺👾🍀😎

I have just attempted to do mine. The 2 towards the front of the gear box (bumper), are starting to chew :S
There hard work them gearbox side bolts,I put abit of tape around the head of the bolt and the end of the socket to stop it dropping off
Brilliant video. Really helped me. Thanks.
Hi, thanks for the video! Did you do this due to low oil pressure?
Great video
Done exactly as you said. My audi tt now running perfectly again. Top man.
This’ll be a good one to redo using the sequences from that workshop manual you showed the other week.2021👽
Great video>>>you made it look easy>>>>I’m just about to do mine on my roadster can I ask if the nuts need to be torqued on. Cheers ✌️
good guide for 1.8t.

Thanks you had help with your video, I fix it! Ronald Ritter from Holland

great work sir I want to know how many pounds do I have to torque the oil pan
im probably going to have to do this to my TT this spring
Yeah my oil pressure is low so I figure I have to do this route.
Hi what mileage do think pick up pipe should be replaced. Also what gasket sealent are you using. Thanks great channel.
Great video
Any idea how the 3.0 upper oil pan is replaced? Simple things can get a little tricky i dont want to damage anything
I'm doing this on my 1.8t on the weekend. I have a rattle above 1500rpm I'm hoping it's the strainer
yestheoriginaldadio how did you get on??? Did it fix the issue I’ve got the same problem
Did it work??
Can you get a ticking tapping kind of noise if this is blocked ? Thanks in advance
Yeah, if there’s bad oil pressure it can cause that
good stuff mate...is the same for a 1999 a4 quattro..right

If it's the sump plug you can remove the sump, and use a helicoil insert. If you then also use a washer with a rubber internal section, you'll be fine
BWS TT
You made taking the sump off look easy.
The one thing that’s designed too be done.
BWS TT
The sump plug has had the helicoil done in the last month.
I like the idea of a sealing washer that acts like plumbers tape.🤓
@@stevesloan6775 you can tap it larger but now that it's been helicoiled I'm not sure how much more meat there is
BWS TT
Fair call...
I’m aiming too follow your advice and change the oil pickup.
🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀🇦🇺😎
what are the bolts torqued up to?
Nice work...
What's the best way to clean the sump and pick up pipe? I watched one TH-cam video, where the guy said he was going to wash it with gasoline. Also, is there a gasket for the pick up pipe?
There is a seal yes, N0282222. Scotch pad and break cleaner is a good combination
@@BWSTT - all done! That wasn't too bad. Last question. Do you have to wait a certain period of time to let the gasket "cure" before driving it?
Brilliant, great Job Lad..! Gotta do mine asap A3 1.8T Just got the Dreaded Alarm and Flashing Oil Sign on Dash..!
How much were Your bits, i.e, Sealer and Pick-up..?
Thanx...
Dan Solo genuine sealant is about £15, pipe and o-ring are sub £20
Thanks Buddy
did you have low oil pressure?
I've seen a few videos where people put silicone gasket around the pick up pipe, do you do this or does the o-ring seal it just fine?
A new o ring is all you need. Using silicone there is a recipe for disaster.

CL Vision the subframe is never in the way of the sump, on any variant. I do mobile work on TTs, so dont have my own place (yet)
BWS TT sorry I should have been clear, I am referring to Audi A4 b6,! Where are you based ?
never done this on a 1.8 before but I never saw you put a gasket on the oil pan (sump) did I miss you put a new gasket on or did you not use a gasket?
rick r there is no sump gasket, just liquid silicone based gasket
BWS TT got it... thanks, gotta replace a pump today...
Hi mate iv changed the oil pressure switch and the oil pump and pick up pipe new oil and filter oil light still coming on any ideas
You need to measure the actual oil pressure with a gauge, could be a bad bearing or bad pressure valve
@@BWSTT yeah iv just ordered a oil pressure testing kit . Where is the pressure valve ? Thanks for the reply your videos are really useful 👍
Great videos perfectly explained 👍subbed!
Would you still do this on low mileage car ? Ta
What are we defining as low mileage?
No lifting the engine?
Nope, no need
My Audi says that i have low oil, check oil level. Is it because the sump is full of stuff or can it be the oil pressure switch that's broken? Thanks
Makaronimaffia the oil level sensor could be at fault or un plugged
Thanks for the answer fix it yesterday! :D
Morning, what is the best silicone to use on the sump?
Genuine is my preference
@@BWSTT great vid. Going to attempt this the weekend. Where can i get that silicone from? for £15ish bud?
@@michaelcommons1759 it's more expensive now, I just use red rtv these days, but OEM is from TPS, or a main dealer like VW or Audi etc
hi there mate, what was the mileage on that engine? thanks sam
off the top of my head 110k
Mate, those awkward bolts by the gearbox.. You are completely using the wrong tool. You need a 5mm ball hex long allen bit. With that, it's literally a piece of piss.
wizkid01 thats another valid option- but as you can see in the video using one hand on the camera and one hand for the tool i still managed each one with 1 attempt, because thats the way im used to doing it
