    We are helping out a friend - we did timing belt and water pump. Put it back together after a flush snd fill and a new radiator and on the test drive this little abused Passat blew its “Oil Cooler Outlet To Pipe Coolant Hose - 2004 Volkswagen Passat”. I think it was leaking prior to the water pump failure. It is coated with rusty water stains and it’s bulging like they do when they’re about to burst.
    Thanks for this real life explanation. It was really nice to see that ‘oh no! It’s leaking where I just changed the hose.’ That’s a good video when it’s this real! Thanks for keeping that in.

    My 2000 Audi A6 2.8L was leaking oil. After watching your video, changed the oil cooler gasket - which had a hole in it, and things were better but still leaked oil. HOWEVER, I also watched your video about PCV system blockage causing pressure in the block and forcing oil out of the seals. I changed my PCV valve and confirmed the old one was totally blocked. I changed it for $6 and now NO oil leaks... First time in years. BIG thanks

    Turning the heat on high doesn't open the heater core. Its always open turning it on high just turns the flaps from cold to hot to let the air that passes through it to go into the cabin.
    There are coolant bleed ports on the top of the engine that must be used to bleed the engine.

  • @JaimeLopez-hs6jp

    Clear view of what to do, thank you.My question is about what type of leak you just fixed? Is it the coolant fluid or the motor oil?I have a 03 VW Passat 4motion that just left all of the coolant in my drive way. It looks like the leak came exactly from the oil cooler housing but it could be the hose (yet to check on that).Let me know what the leak was for.Thanks so much.

    The torque for the retainer nut is not 18 ft-lbs. It's 22ft-lbs, which is 30Nm. Also, the oil that came out of this looked like it was coolant contaminated - badly.

  • @mahariharith340
    @mahariharith340 ปีที่แล้ว

    the VW/Audi oil coolang interphase is extremely redundant and prone to failure resulting in a coolant/oil mixture. I actually did a bypass whereby there was no longer oil/coolant interphase.

    I have an A6 2.8l v6 and there are no coolant hoses to my oil cooler and mine has the pipes to which the hoses connect facing down towards the ground. How bad is that and should I figured out how to reconnect it to coolant?

  • @dbcooper0073
    @dbcooper0073 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    AWESOME! Exactly what I need!
    How much coolant did you need to ad? I have a 3.0 '03 A4 (same engine as yours), the idiot that worked on the car before me tightened the filter so tight, I had to break it off. In the process of trying to chizzle the top off, I put a hole in the Oil Cooler & all the coolant that was at regular level drained out. Puttied the very small hole until the new Oil Cooler comes in. I put an entire bottle of 50/50 into the resivor, but it needs more. Just wondering if maybe coolant leak is elsewhere? (don't see any leakage) or is this normal for this car.

    do you have any videos on how to replace the oil thump, or the upper half of the oil pan for audi quattro A4. i was backing out of driveway and curb snagged on to the oil cooler and filter and ripped it out of the top half of my oil pan threads and all, like literally ripped the threaded part of the thump where the filter and the fitting rod would screw in to it at and a few people have told me that replacing the enging block is the only way for me to go about fixing that but i dont really think it'd be that serious of a fix from what i see.

      @Ahooonyyyyyahonny No, the actual metal piece. Over time the thin metal that divides the oil and coolant gets weak since it's a very different pressure on the oil side. So... the oil starts pushing into the coolant. Really easy fix though, just replace that metal piece and the black gasket ring.
