Nice content as usual. Can I challenge you into doing a bit more research on a 5W40 vs 10W40. To my understanding, the 5W40 is better as these have the same viscosity when hot, when cold, the 5W40 is thinner which means it would be a better lubricant at lower temperatures than an oil with a higher viscosity. Keep up the good content.
@@lindokuhlemenzikhumalo9685 An oil’s viscosity is its resistance to flow. Oil that’s too thick won’t flow properly through your engine, in this case - 10W-40 won't flow the same as 5W-40 during the cold start. 5W-40 will flow very easily, which to me implies that there's not a huge layer of protection between the bearings, crank and other parts where oil goes to when it is cold. So with this thin layer, I believe it is not good for an older engine as they need more protection as they are now prone to wear. Oil that’s too thin won’t protect moving parts from wear and tear hence I'm going for 10W-40 rather than the 5W-40. Viscosity increases as the temperature drops and decreases as the temperature rises, which is why I chose the oil with viscosity that is 40 when the engine is hot (which allows good performance). I hope this gives you an idea of why I choose to use 10W-40 instead of the recommended 5W-40.
To remove the dipstick funnel you need to remove the intake manifold first, here's the video of how to remove the intake manifold here: th-cam.com/video/c6RANdz9FwE/w-d-xo.html
@@MegatronicsZA Thanks alot, and fuck me thats alot of work for just the oil dipstick funnel. I have a 2.0 FSI no turbo aswell, im trying to get it in very good condition and this oil dipstick is the last thing. i managed to replace timing belt adn waterpump and thermostat, and that was alot of work!!
@@mallrick449 lol 😂 🤣 😂 yeah this car will f*#k you. Lol it's a lot of work just for a tiny dipstick pipe... Also make sure that you get extra breather hose pipes, the fact that you are removing the intake manifold might result in you breaking those pipes. No matter how smooth you are, you have a 90/10 chance of breaking one hose if not both.
You can't mix different viscosity oils together. It's better to drain the 5W-40 and put in the 10W-40. I personally don't know what mixing them would do but I'd recommend that you don't try it.
@@roccabauleth6186 you are correct, with the mileage getting higher I've noticed that thin oil doesn't offer much protection - which is why I go with 10W-40.
Are you sure that the 25+5, where as 5 means 180 degrees? Looking in the service manual it just says 25 Nm. Also, you didnt nearly turn it 180 degrees.
@@Belle1337 I'm really not sure if that's what it means but I assumed so, I didn't turn it 180° further because it was no longer turning, I left it because I didn't want to break the oil filter housing since it's just plastic. Do you have any idea what the +5 is for?
@@MegatronicsZA My idea would be that it means 25Nm and then for the second torque, 30Nm. But then again, the service manual doesn't mention this anywhere and just says 25Nm. Is there any chance that your attempt on turning 180° could be close to 30Nm?
well explained and easy to follow
Thanks a lot Dan, I appreciate it 🙌🏽

@@MegatronicsZA Thanks for your right up. I respect your choice although I differ in your analysis.
@@lindokuhlemenzikhumalo9685 neh, I understand man. Thanks for your support.
Can you make a video of replacing a starter motor on the Jetta. I would appreciate it so much. Thank you
I will make one. Thanks.
Good video mate. Do you maybe know where temperature sensor location for coolant is? Is it 2 sensors or just 1?
Thanks
Thanks a lot man.
Yeah I di know, they're at the bottom of the radiator. Some engines have 2 some have 1.
@ ah okej thanks man. I have same engine as you 2.0 non turbo somdoes it has one or 2?
Cheers
@BiHSLK these ones have one, at the bottom of the radiator there's a blue/green connector on a hose. That will be the coolant temperature sensor
@ oh ok. Thanks sir. Many thanks
@BiHSLK how's the engine treating you so far? I'm in love with it
