Great video. Can you remember the torque settings for the bolts. I would think there be something small like 10nm as it’s plastic like the rocker cover 👍
mine is starting to leak as well, but i also need intake valve carbon cleaning so i think i'm going to remove the intake manifold and also remove the oil filter housing from there.
Hey thanks for posting this. I have to do this job soon and your instruction is very good. I have an 08 VW Passat with the BPY engine. Is it any different? Any other suggestions for my specific model?
i have a question for you if you’re still replying to comments. For the 4 bolts holding the oil filter housing on, how did you access the top left bolt? there is some kind of bracket in the way and there is not enough room for me to get a socket back there.
@@nestorautorepair i’m not sure what you mean by that. there is a black bracket that is attached to what looks like a coolant line right in front of the top left bolt on the oil filter housing. did you have to remove the bracket to access the bolt?
@@nestorautorepair You drained the coolant by disconnecting the lower radiator hose? Did you get the full 2 gallons of the fluid out? How much would I have to pay to have this done by somebody or a shop? I'm shocked it only took you 40 minutes, most posts on forums describe this as a nightmare job (I have seen some people remove the whole front end to do this). Did you remove the radiator fans? Did you have problems with air in the cooling system after this job?
Yes I unplug the lower hose ,, the engine will still have some coolant in it and it will fix with the oil that's why you need to do an oil change after this , you need to bleat the system have the car in ramps or jack stand facing up running untill the hear get hot ,, a job like this I will charge labor $300... No the radiator fan don't need to come out
My guy, i have a question. My oil cooler failed, all the oil mixed in with antifreeze inside the antifreeze bottle... Do I need to flush engine or just drain? I drained oil...replacing new oil housing and oil cooler... I think I'm removing valve cover too.... Looks like a lot of cream mix behind PCV and in the hoses.... This normal?
Hi replace the cooler , change the oil and drained the coolant , drive the car for like 30 minutes and during the oil one one time and drain it when engine is hot not when cool
@@nestorautorepair aye my guy, I certainly appreciate the quick response and thank you for taking the time to make the video for us... Have a blessed day
If the deal is leaking the housing will crack soon , so this is not a easy job and I'm sure you don't want to come back in 3 month and pay the labor again
@@nestorautorepair huh, it makes sense but why would it crack tho? I am doing my own car right now and btw you don't have to drain the coolant just crimp the hoses with some vise-grips (make sure to tube the grips so you don't damage the hose). I guess I will swap my housing as well to be safe... thx.
Yes is better + you don't know if your leak is actually coming from a crack , they crack just been old because they are made out of plastic ,, best luck Sal
Hey Frank, When there's oil in the coolant system after replacing the bad part, you still have to flush the heater core, radiator and coolant lines with flush chemicals.
Good observation , yes that's what the customer want , but at the end of the date coolant is coolant , I know every car use there own coolant but what can I do if that's what the want lol
Great video. Can you remember the torque settings for the bolts. I would think there be something small like 10nm as it’s plastic like the rocker cover 👍
Sorry I don't
This leak would that give you a vacuum leak as the pcv would be sucking air in from their causing misfire and rough idle
In some case yes
mine is starting to leak as well, but i also need intake valve carbon cleaning so i think i'm going to remove the intake manifold and also remove the oil filter housing from there.
Got it sure go for it
Appreciate you homes, fr fr. I got time and space so I'll be dropping the whole front end tho
Good!!
Hi, great vid, did you use OEM housing or aftermarket one? Does it work?
Work like OEM but is not
Can you please post the link where you bought your oil filter housing with the oil cooler included. That's a good kit.
Yes sir sure here is the link

Any videos on the 2012-2014 TDI oil cooler housing replacement, please?
No I don't have one sorry

Thanks for your feedback ,, I think you be ok just take your time don't rush and brake something
This is a bpy engine he is working on
@@nestorautorepair Do you recommend replacing the cooler as well or is it okay to just replace the housing?
Thank you for this info very helpful, good video.
You're welcome boss , thanks for your feedback
i have a question for you if you’re still replying to comments. For the 4 bolts holding the oil filter housing on, how did you access the top left bolt? there is some kind of bracket in the way and there is not enough room for me to get a socket back there.
Hey Hi yes if you remove the front part of the housing you can get access to the blots
@@nestorautorepair i’m not sure what you mean by that. there is a black bracket that is attached to what looks like a coolant line right in front of the top left bolt on the oil filter housing. did you have to remove the bracket to access the bolt?
I believe I remove a bolt to be able to flex the pipe and get the cooler bolt out
@basxn8571 did you figure it out? I'm stuck with this exact problem right now. :(
How many hours did this take you to do? Did you drain the coolant from the radiator?
40 minutes and yes you need to drain the coolant and change the oil after this repair

It is a big job specially if is your first time ,, don't rush it and make sure you have the correct tools make the job much easier
40 minutes but , if is your first time it will take you like 2 hours
Saved me alot. Thanks
U welcome Ofuoma , thanks for your feedback
Why did change it out? I’m currently having some leaking problems.
Yes it was leaking bad ,, after this now no more leak
Is this the same as the 07 gti 2.0 ?
Yes

You should flush the engine fo sho and nothing but premium so you can blow the cat codes outta her.
👍
why not just replace the seals?

No the cooler is ok is aluminum
do you happen to have a video for vw passat 2.0t 2006 transmision change?
I had done it but I be honest big job like this I don't record because of the time consuming sorry
@@nestorautorepair I see that’s fine what about the transmission fluid change
For that you need a pump and a special feting to put the fluid true the drain , but is better if you remove the pan and replace the filter as well
Great video
Thanks boss
Nice video
Thanks
Guys help me out, I changed the engine oil cooler, the transmission oil cooler and the head gasket on my Golf 5 Gt, but I still find oil in my coolant
Hey Frank, When there's oil in the coolant system after replacing the bad part, you still have to flush the heater core, radiator and coolant lines with flush chemicals.
Whats going on on wit them hands 😂
I don't know if you can tell me
wrong coolant
Good observation , yes that's what the customer want , but at the end of the date coolant is coolant , I know every car use there own coolant but what can I do if that's what the want lol
