I just did this repair a week ago and used your video as guidance. I
Posted a comment but I didn’t see it so I’ll try again.
Definitely a bugger getting the hose clamps off! And don’t forget to re install the dip stick 😂. Any way I used a febi bilstein housing hopefully it holds up . Great content for us diy and new to tdi guys, 😊 thanks !
Glad it helped, some are positioned perfectly and some they must’ve been laughing at the factory knowing how much of a pain it’ll be to get at once in the car. I’ve used febi mostly with hood luck, I’d like to try the aluminum version if anyone can keep it in stock.
Well Josh.... yet another perfect video to show me what I need to do. CKRA sprung a coolant leak and it turned out to be the housing..... this will be the third time you have guided me thru a repair! thanks!
Those pesky ckra’s, glad it helped. I’m not sure if you saw but there is an updated aluminum filter housing, I haven’t gotten one yet but definitely considering it.
@@JoshsJettas I actually found and aluminum one and picked it up. Will be installing that when it comes in on Friday.
I’ve found some mixed reviews of the quality as it varies I guess their is a Vaico one that’s pretty nice but hard to find. If my aftermarket one fails I’ll consider it for sure
Great video, just used this for reference on my 14 passat. Thanks for posting, saved me $1500
Thanks for making this. I’d like to add that a set of the spring clamp pliers made this so much easier. I ended up pulling my radiator fans for the one pita hosed on the inter cooler. I was already deleted beforehand, and I replaced the EGR valve with the darkside race pipe at the same time. Keep in mind people that the torque on the oil filter cap is only 25nm. I know that’s why I had to do mine! About 2500 miles after my last oil change is when my leak started. Also follow the video on putting the inter cooler back on! I was making that a lot more difficult than it was.
The spring pliers are awesome sometimes but more of a pain sometimes as well, they’ve got their place. I think that’s one of the main issues is over tightening the cap as well as heat cycles.
@@JoshsJettas for sure, mainly for the few clamps up top. I just passed 163k in my Passat. For the sake of science, filter changes will be with a torque wrench only. We’ll see if I get another 160k out of the replacement housing!
I did mine today. What a pain. But I’m sure glad I did my own and didn’t let the shop do it
Nice video. Clear instruction and common sense. Have a 2013 Passat tdi with a coolant leak. Unsure exactly where it’s coming from but it’s in this general area. Could be thermostat housing or this oil cooler assembly. Going to tear down and hopefully see a smoking gun as you did here.
Yeah I’d bet it’s the filter housing leaking, I’ve done a couple now on different cars.
Wish this video was made year ago. Didn't know what I was doing. I overtorque first housing and separated the housing from the bolts. Five mins down the road and oil was gushing out. And only coolant was lubricating my engine. 5 oil changes later and finally got all the coolant out. Worse day of my life. And had to wait 2 weeks on new oil housing.
Oh wow did the spacers get crushed and break the plastic? I wouldn’t of thought it’d happen easily.
It can be a mess trying to get all the proper fluid clean and back where it belongs after it’s been mixed like that.
У меня тоже была такая беда. Частая проблема именно на tdi passat nms. У нескольких друзей тоже случалась эта поломка. Развалилась стенка корпуса фильтра в месте соприкосновения с блоком двигателя и во время поездки начала сигнализировать лампочка низкого уровня антифриза. Ставил аналог Nissens (в сборе с теплообменником), но пришлось также поменять антифриз (на всякий случай) и масло в двигателе так как при сливе масла с мотора было замечено грамм 20 антифриза.
I just got my aluminum house from fpc euro. It looks like very good quality. Getting ready to do a timing belt and while the coolant is drained I want to swap out the cooler and filter base before I end up with a problem. Looks like I should be able to do both in a day.
Yup, if it’s the first time doing both I’d figure on a longer day, belts 3-4 hours, filter housing 2-4 depending on how the clamps go
@JoshsJettas yeah, I am a semi truck mechanic. Working on little cars is tough for me. But I have been wrenching for nearly 30 years. Not so fast anymore. Last weekend I pulled both cv axles, cleaned out the old grease, went back together with new grease and boots. Took me 7.5 hours before I had the tools put back away. But all is good now. I watched a few videos on the timing belt. Looks like it will take me awhile, but it looks like the belt kit and the filter housing I should be able to handle in 8 hours or so on a Saturday. If it takes me a little more that's OK too. Just want to be able to do it in a day to be able to drive it home that night.
You’ll be set then, I work on farm equipment full time. It’s all just nuts and bolts at the end of the day (some are just harder to get to)
@JoshsJettas took me 9.5 hours. But pretty close to an hour of it was checking the timing 4 times, rewatching videos, and rereading the manual. The oil filter housing wasn't bad, until I was all done an had an oil leak. I used the oem filter cover and a filter I just installed last weekend. I don't know if it was because the oring was reused, it looked fine. But that took me an additional hour and a half to find exactly what was leaking and make sure it was not after installing the new cap that came with the housing . I was very worried after seeing oil running down the housing I just installed.
Thanks Josh for the video ! I have an oil cooler housing leak, but oil is in my coolant reservoir ( full of black oil). While taking the air box off I saw oil all under it on back side, also look like some in the air filter hose and bottom hose looks soaked. Will an oil cooler housing leak cause all that ? How can I safely clean of that oil too ? Thanks
It could, these swell from the heat im sure of it but over torqueing your oil filter will cause it to crack and I'd believe oil would leak out easily as well as cross contaminate. The reservoir might be hard to get clean (i usually replace when i do this on tractors), but they sell cleaners. Another option is fill the coolant system with water and dish washer detergent (washer detergent wont bubble like soap will but will still break down the oil). Flush flush and flush again, coolant hoses don't like oil.
I have a 2015 VW Passat, around 100k miles now. It just recently started burning through oil and making a sound on startup. No leaks, so I wonder if I should replace the PCV valve ?
I have a 2014 JSW TDI that has a bad coolant leak on the front side of the engine. After looking around it appears to be leaking from the oil filter housing. I can only seem to find videos on replacements for the Passat, which is odd. Have you done one of these on the Jetta CJAA?
The Passats are plastic which warps and leaks whereas the Jetta/golf/Beetle are traditional aluminum so they’re tougher. I just posted a video on doing the cjaa thermostat which gives a clear view of the filter housing. There’s a lot of hoses hanging off that thing.
Thanks for the most excellent video. I played this video over and over while doing this repair. Ordered the part online and paid 1/5 the price from the dealer.
I didn't have to remove the dipstick tube like you did. I did remove the plastic clip that held it into place. We did split the 3 way hose that went to the transmission cooler, the oil cooler, and the coolant pipe that goes across the head. It was $50 from the dealer, not bad. Most of my hoses were sealed on and VERY difficult to remove.
Up next is the heater core. That is a great video as well.
Any chance you've worked on the DPF system? Specifically issues with the tank related to the P205B code?
It’s crazy the difference in price between dealers and online retailers. Those hoses sure get baked on there. The P205B is the def temperature sensor, either the def header has to be replaced or there’s a tdi club write up about on how to replace the sensor and splice in a thermistor.
@@JoshsJettas yeah I saw the write up and found a good video on replacement. I have a warranty to think about so I will probably replace it. This DEF system will be the end of me.
Yes the emission components really killed these TDI’s
What exactly are those bolts that hold the housing to the block? Triple square? What size ...
Thanks
8mm triple square
My 8mm don't fit did u have to hammer it in?
The holes might’ve been full of dirt/gunk?
hey man, i know this is an old video but it looks like you still reply to comments on here, i have a ‘13 tdi passat and am just want to confirm that it’s the oil filter housing that’s leaking, is there any better way to contact you so you could help me out a little bit? thanks!
Hey send me an email to joshthring21@live.ca if you wish. The housing when it leaks seems to drop straight down and get caught by the oil pan diaper, if it’s a small one the coolant can get boiled off on the block causing white stains
Helppp!! How In the Jesus Christ did you remove the inter cooler from the throttle body with such ease! I am literally struggling lol 😅
Josh's Where's your shop location, if I can bring my volkswagen passat tdi, can you look at it and fix it, I will pay them. Let's me know
I’ve got milky n black spots in my reservoir hoping it’s just this and not my headgasket (no signs of coolant on my dipstick.) About how many hours to do this job?
This is somewhat common but ive only seen external coolant and not mixing personally. Worst part is getting the intercooler out but 4 hours should get it done
Hi Josh just diagnosed mine today after wife had it towed home yesterday due to overheating so I told her to just stop and have towed home. As I look I see obvious leak from cooler. Going to attack this as soon as my parts come in I too will look at ID parts but do you happen to have part numbers? I have a 2013 TDI Passat
Thanks bro! Great video too🤙🏽
03L115389H is the oem part number, should come up with a febi part, your going to need the bolts as well, the page will recommend them near the bottom.
There’s also a aluminum version coming out but that’s not until the end of next month so that doesn’t do you much good.
@@JoshsJettas thanks I just picked it up had option to add bolts, I grabbed their oil change kit as well! I saw you quick info on coolant fill without vacuum, is that it there is no air release valve just fill over flow startup and warm up and fill as it goes in? How about the factory clamps ? Did you reuse those or go with the screw type on the coolant lines? How would you flush out intercooler? Thanx brother!
@phytphyr yeah they bleed out pretty easy, fill it full and run it up to temp with the cap off, when the thermostat opens you’ll feel both hoses are warm and the coolant level should drop, top to the correct level and just keep an eye on it. The vacuum fill is just to save having to wait around.
I re used them, people hate them but they are a constant tension clamp so they don’t get too tight or too loose.
Soap and water is a good option, diesel is too but make sure it’s dry. Don’t use gas or brake clean as the vapours will make it run away.
@@JoshsJettas thanx I really appreciate your response! Do you use compressed air to help dry out intercooler once done with soap and Water wash? And I small amount of oil is normal?
Touch of oil is normal, but yes air to blow it out. A little bit left over is fine, you’ll see there’s a bunch of water/oil in there already
METICULOUS video. How different is this job for a 2015 Passat TDI (with 275k miles)? Dealer in NJ asking $5k. I assume independient wrench will ask half?
I haven’t done a 15 but I know the kit and tools are different. The kit for the 15’s are just as cheap, the dealer wants $5k for the whole car or $5k for a belt job? Here’s the kit for the 15

Was it absolutely necessary to drain the oil?
No, there’s a possibility you might get some coolant in the oil once you pop the filter housing off though
Hmm one time use i reused my bolts still holding after yr i think you can reuse them
They can be but you can’t use the torque procedure as it’s torque turn and will end up snapping them. Like everything use some common sense and it’ll be fine re-using them
