bro you cant find any videos because its an older, sort of outdated method to do it this way. Wasa Motors sells a "Freewheel" that is about $80 or less and it is essentially a free spinning sprocket that replaces the drive sprocket for the balancing shafts. so it disables the balance shafts and youre good to go. use the same chain and no other parts required. the best mod i have ever done on this car and ive been driving with it in my car now for over 2 years with no problems whatsoever. look up on youtube "wasa motors freewheel install audi a4"
Yes you are right! There are other ways to delete the balancing shaft but you till have that big oil pump assembly, taking a large portion of the oil pan, by going this route. You giving your car an extra 1 1/2 QT of oil and a bit higher pressure as well
So got the car back from having the pump. Only fitted pump and chain on the lower gear got to say no issues so far no oil lights and I can't tell the difference with vibration nothing really there engine is so much smoother and revs better
1) Why the swap? Benefits? 2) how about the balance shafts on original pump aren't they needed 3) is oil pan going to fit ok 4) can i do this to my 06 a3 2.0t
Thanks a lot this vedio is gona help me a lot coz I can't get the original oil pump in South Africa besides that - it's so expensive. Joooo 😯 thanks once again
At Min 2:30 you need a Helicoil M7x1,0. So its no Problem with the Holes in the other Parts. But it is not standart Diameter in Europe. In Europe we use M6 and M8 normally.
@@apgarage1863 I didn't put It on cars back together collecting tomorrow. I was told by a few people you don't really need it unless your mega power going on trackdays lol I don't no tho hopefully all good
great video but I’m having the oil pressure low light after the conversation with the stock housing , I wanna try the oil pressure switch but I’m curious on how to get this done , my sensor has 2 pin connection and the 1.8t is 1 pin connection
One question, when using the 1.8T oíl pump in FSI engine why to use the oíl filter flange with the adapter plate? Or I can use the oem FSI plastic? Any diffetence? Regards
You can run the 1.8t oil pump and still use the factory filter housing, at the time I did it I was told to replace everything due to oil pressure difference but I have done both now and they both work
The stock pump is prone to failure and also has a balancer attached to it. if it breaks, it might kill your engine, and if you wanna replace it with the same, its about 3K USD where I`m at Replacing it with the 1.8T gives you a more stable platform, and you can also buy a high-flow pump ( pushes more oil and has a built in pressure regulator valve) Also, you get rid of the whole balancing assembly, so you get better performance ( not that visible on stock, but the engine isa bit more rev-happy)
Hey bud. Love the video. I did my conversion but kept the stock oil filter housing. 1) Oil light comes on and off, should I be worried about oil pressure. 2) when I start the car, cold start the pump is a bit noisy but gets quieter as time goes or when up to Temp is that normal? 3) I was told to change the oil pressure switch to .6 to 1 bar so the light goes away. Do you suggest I do that? 4) will the normal tfsi oil filter housing cause any issues?? Should i change the housing to 1.8t?
Hi I no this is a old video. My mechanic is doing this to my car changing to a 1.8t pump. Keeping my stock oil filter housing. Will the stock oil filter housing be ok for the pressure. I'm reading that the pressure is either too high or too low and I'm worried because the engine has just been rebuilt thanks man
@@apgarage1863 Thank for the fast reply bro. Yea I'm worried about the higher oil pressure in the engine I don't want it to blow lol just spent money on rebuilding it with hybrid turbo ect
Is not gonna blow! The 1.8 T oil pump is a better unit because it don’t have all the components the factory one does like balance shaft Due to less rotational mass the pump can operate nicely
@@apgarage1863 This explains why they cut the tip of where the mesh is supposed to be lol the funnel bit lol. I was thinking why the f is it cut up lol
I did also the conversion and kept the stock oil filter housing , some times at idle i get low oil press , it might be the filter oil or is cause of housing? Low oil pressure appears some times...any suggestions ?
Ask anyone, this is a downgrade, the FSI fuel pump is superior, VIS freewheel sprocket disables the balance shafts and is much easier to install than installing the 1.8t oil pump. The balance shafts are the only failure point to the FSI fuel pump. The 1.8t fuel pump requires swapping over to the 1.8t oil filter housing because the FSI oil filter housing doesn't have a pressure release valve so in colder weather you will be running dangerously high oil pressure, this requires an adapter plate and most likely throttle pipe modifications, as well as what some other people are saying which is swapping over a sensor to get rid of the oil pressure light. The 1.8 oil pump isn't even as efficient at the 2.0 pump. It's too much work for a less efficient oil pump.

Question I did this conversion on my car. Would I need a longer dipstick ? since I’m holding 6qts now not 5 ?
What's your oil pressure once the car is warm? Could you video it brother
Hello, can the 1.9 tdi pump be installed?
Any known issues like low oil pressure after conversion? Forums say this is more problematic
So got the car back from having the pump. Only fitted pump and chain on the lower gear got to say no issues so far no oil lights and I can't tell the difference with vibration nothing really there engine is so much smoother and revs better
Ive seen kits for over £350. But cant i just buy a normal 1.8t oil pump chain tensioner for 100 all in lol ?
1) Why the swap? Benefits?
2) how about the balance shafts on original pump aren't they needed
3) is oil pan going to fit ok
4) can i do this to my 06 a3 2.0t
Cause a new 2.0 oil pump is $2500
Great video. Watched it about 20 times while doing my own conversion.
I’m glad this video was helpful, please make sure to like and subscribe for more info and DIYs
Big thanks fom France i wasnt knowing about the oil filter and the pan and issue with oil pressure . So ill do the modification thanks a lot
Did you have to drill a hole for the tensioner?
Where abouts are you based and would you consider doing this to my son's car!
Thanks a lot this vedio is gona help me a lot coz I can't get the original oil pump in South Africa besides that - it's so expensive. Joooo 😯 thanks once again
Hi, I am thinking about doing the conversion to my 2L Amarok, can this be done without removing the engine from the vehicle?
At Min 2:30 you need a Helicoil M7x1,0. So its no Problem with the Holes in the other Parts. But it is not standart Diameter in Europe. In Europe we use M6 and M8 normally.
I have this engine my problem is I don't get crankshaft sprocket how can I get help?
I bought a new pump but the tdi version looks the same just thicker internals and its perfect no oil lights nothing been healthy for months
Don’t forget you have to change the oil filter housing because it has the oil pressure relief valve in
I love your conversation.... Can use my old stamp and must i change the oil filter housing or should the housing be standard like it should be
Thank you!!!!
I did this to my mk6 r , now the oil level sensor doesn’t fit. Can I drill a hole or I need to buy another sensor ?
They are saying that crankshaft sprocket only fits automatic transmission models.
Not sure where you got that info but all my engines came with manual gearbox
bro you forget to talk about the chain tensioner and the drilling but still love you
Do we need the oil baffle cover bro with the 1.8t
Is recommended
@@apgarage1863 I didn't put It on cars back together collecting tomorrow. I was told by a few people you don't really need it unless your mega power going on trackdays lol I don't no tho hopefully all good
no way to modify the stock 20T oil filter housing to accomodate the increase in pressure? And do u need the adapter plate to run the 1.8t housing?
No need for 1.8t housing
Please if you know what is the vw catalog number for Oil pan baffle. I just miss that part. Thanks a lot in advance.
All part numbers are in the video
Is this a Upgrade for 2.0FSI or TFSI ?
Part number of the oil pump?
Well are the 20vt pumps more reliable than tfsi pumps? What is the purpose of this? To get rid of the balance shafts?
Yes them shafts are junk worst thing audi/vw did I'm about to be doing my oil pump on my audi a4 b7 again them shafts are junk lol
Hey I did this swap on my engine and once the oil is at temp. I only have like 12-15 psi of oil pressure. Wondering if you see the same?
Did u use oem filter housing?
So is the adapter to the 1.8t adapter & housing needed?
great video but I’m having the oil pressure low light after the conversation with the stock housing , I wanna try the oil pressure switch but I’m curious on how to get this done , my sensor has 2 pin connection and the 1.8t is 1 pin connection

@@apgarage1863 thanks, amazing video
i dont think your pickup is long enough
Is the oil pump chain the same size and what is the pitch of the chain? The pitch size should be stamped in the side of the chain
They are different gears so chains are not the same
WHAT IS THE REASON TO DO THE SWAP? WHAT VEHICLE TO WHAT OTHER VEHICLE?
The stock pump is prone to failure and also has a balancer attached to it. if it breaks, it might kill your engine, and if you wanna replace it with the same, its about 3K USD where I`m at
Replacing it with the 1.8T gives you a more stable platform, and you can also buy a high-flow pump ( pushes more oil and has a built in pressure regulator valve)
Also, you get rid of the whole balancing assembly, so you get better performance ( not that visible on stock, but the engine isa bit more rev-happy)
the gear you pulled out in a minute 1:56 so instead of the original, the second / new one goes to exactly the same place?
thank you
Does not matter the location of the gears
After the oil pump ugrade how we can reduce the Motorvibrationen? Tkssssss
Aftermarket crank pulley
Merci Coupable
Hey bud. Love the video. I did my conversion but kept the stock oil filter housing.

4) will the normal tfsi oil filter housing cause any issues?? Should i change the housing to 1.8t?
I have done it with both, fsi OEM filter housing and with 1.8t and no issues
According to HPS you need the 1.8t housing
How is your engine running with the stocl housing now? Is everything still ok?
Doing this myself trying to figure out the oil cooler situation. Anyone ever see a complete and proper set up of this?
I have a separate video on external oil coolers, you don’t need to run oil cooler
Do you think its possible to do this swap with the engine in car?
Yes, done it before in the car
Do you have the location for drilling the tensioner bolt hole?
No need to drill, hole should be already there

Use a 1.8T oil pressure sensor
I done it both ways and is a hit or miss for what I can tell through other people that do it
But try with all your factory components first

Yeah I had to press the pick up to get it to fit better
@@apgarage1863 Do you mean push it up a bit ?
Yeah, as well as putting the actual pick up part on a vice and crushing it a bit, on the end where the metal screen is

Hello. Your oil pickup is really short. Is that off a 1.8T? Just went to fit the sump and the long oil pickup fouls on the sump 😢.

Use the part number provided on the video, oil pickup is the long style
