why new spark plugs only after 3 years? i thought the platinum irridium plugs are rated to 100K miles? also why is the new oil green? is it some type of indicatir dye?
3 years or 25k-30k miles is a pretty standard spark plugs replacement interval. Not really an expensive item to replace so why wouldn't you keep on top of preventative maintenance. Not sure why the oil is green, it's the newer type of oil that TPS supply.
For this engine the recomended oil viscosity was 5-w30 up until a couple years back...After 2019, for the exact same engine, they decided to recomend 0-w20
It's not the exact same engine. VW modified the 1.0 TSI hence the change in oil recommendation, the obvious visual difference being the air filter box no longer sits on top of the engine. So pre 2019 it's still best to use 5W30 504.00 - 507.00.
@@DeanoBanksy so they did actually modify the engine? i was under the impresion that was the same one, and they had just moved the position of the air filter!
@@DropTheBoxOfficialI do not know exactly but I heard in one video: a car-magazine journalist mentioned that the change was also in piston rings material or something like that. I would say this is the reason of oil specification change as the viscosity of oil is for sure crucial for piston to move freely.
Thanks so much, very helpful. Can you just replace the washer on the sump plug - spares sites largely selling just the washer for this model? And you recommend 0w-20 for the 2021 model?
You can certainly just replace the washer, however you will find that you will probably have to cut the washer off once it is crushed onto the plug. 0W-20 is the recommended grade from the manufacturer, I believe this lower viscosity was introduced to help improve the economy. Other oil viscosities can be used as long as they meet the manufacturers specifications. Thanks 👍
I'm thinking of doing the oil service on my sons 2018 1.0 tsi Ibiza after watching this video. I've checked the previous garage service sheet and they used 5w40 fully synthetic...I take it this is ok?....they are a reputable garage....thanks for posting the video...clear and concise👍
Just a quick question or two, I had an RAC man come out due to a misfire on cylinder three, but he did say which was cylinder three! Do you count from left to right, i.e left 1, middle 2, right 3, or is it the other way? The other question if you don’t mind, why did you say the three coil plugs mustn’t be mixed up, are they not the same, or they unique for each cylinder? Cheers for the video. 👍
Yes that's correct cylinder one is on the left (timing belt/chain side) As for your second question that's just my own personal good practice when doing any work. it doesn't matter for the coil packs but for some other tasks it could be vital. So I would always recommend getting into the habit of putting components back where they came from.
@@DropTheBoxOfficialThank you for your great video. Please, what about correct orientation of spark tip? Once I read that this is important for 1.0 TSI that the small metalic part at the tip should have correct orientation once it is installed (to guarantee perfect fuel burning). If this is a case, how to guarantee that? Thank you
Could you please highlight the name of spark plugs, air filter for I couldn’t see them. I recognized the name of the oil box but not the others. I also would like to know the name of the brakes oil that you use and names of other related items that need regular maintenance. Thanks I have a seat ibiza 2020 and I’m about to do regular maintenance and I’m freaked out about the use of correct materials.
@@DropTheBoxOfficialCould you pls advise the tread lenght of the spark plugs used as originals. I've the same engine on polo 6 1.0 tsi 95, 06/2021, bought a month ago, would like to change spark plugs. Most online suppliers suggest 04E...19mm, few offers 05E...26,5/28 mm. But somewhere read originally mounted was 05E...26,5/28mm ? Might be both could fit but would like to clarify what was originally mounted by factory... Thanks in advance...
Oil separator, crankcase ventilation. Allows pressure to escape from the crankcase and catches the oil that travels with the gases and returns it into the engine.

I took mine to the dealer as i could smell coolant all the time. They drained it did a pressure test and its fine now. But, the engine is shaking now and i can feel a strong vibration in the clutch. Apparently they took the spark plugs out when doing the pressure test. Do you think they put a bad plug back in and thats causing the vibration?
We haven't seen this issue ourselves. From personal experience as long as the vehicle is maintained correctly it will minimise the chances of potential problems.
Same advice for any car purchase really. Ensure there's a good service history, reasonable warranty and arrange for an independent inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase.
I recommend MAN filters, NKG spark plugs and a good quality engine oil. Worth getting a price from TPS for a genuine service kit. They often have deals on engine oil.
Just bought my first car and hoping to learn to do some maintenance myself, thank you for this video!
Thanks for the feedback 👍

That's correct! Unsure on the exact reason for the change, but I believe it's something to do with fuel economy improving due to the lower viscosity.

Should you be able to feel the vibration when seated in the vehicle? or just from visual appearance at the engine?
3 cylinder engines will always have slightly harsher vibrations due to the balancing of the engine.
Completely normal on these cars

What is the function of the black box? The one you disconnect when changing spark plugs.
Oil separator, crankcase ventilation. Allows pressure to escape from the crankcase and catches the oil that travels with the gases and returns it into the engine.
@@DropTheBoxOfficial Is it like a catch can? but should you empty it sometimes?
@@starkfredrikv70 sort of, it acts more as a separator. No you shouldn't need to empty it as it feeds back into the engine

Spark plugs
I have a 2023 Ibiza 1.0 tsi, 3k miles - Do these engines tend to vibrate a lot on tick over? Even when fully warm ?

Is there a need to check the spark plug gap before putting new one's in ?
It's always good practice to check, I've never come across any problems with NKG brand spark plugs
I took mine to the dealer as i could smell coolant all the time. They drained it did a pressure test and its fine now. But, the engine is shaking now and i can feel a strong vibration in the clutch. Apparently they took the spark plugs out when doing the pressure test. Do you think they put a bad plug back in and thats causing the vibration?
It's a possibility. Replace the spark plugs to see if it solves the issue
According to your experience, are these engines reliable in the long term ? Won't the intake valves get clogged up with carbon in the long run ?
We haven't seen this issue ourselves. From personal experience as long as the vehicle is maintained correctly it will minimise the chances of potential problems.
any advice for this car? should i buy used a seat ibiza tsi 1.0 with 80k miles on it? Thank you
Same advice for any car purchase really. Ensure there's a good service history, reasonable warranty and arrange for an independent inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase.
@@DropTheBoxOfficial what do you mean by reasonable warranty?
