- Hi, this video shows a home service on a Volkswagen Golf Mk5 1.6 FSI. The video includes an oil change, oil filter, pollen (cabin) filter, spark plugs, other checks, topping up fluids and resetting the service light.
Many thanks, Vince. - Навчання та стиль
as a regular viewer of your fixit vids and a qualified mechanic for 30+ years i was impressed with this home engine service a few tips for next time firstly work on an engine thats up to temperature the oil flushes out better and the spark plugs come out better too trust me secondly remove the dipstick when refilling the oil it lets the air out and oil in most mechanics would refill the oil asap after changing the filter and not leave the cap off the engine (just good practice in case 1 you forget to fill it seen it done and 2 something drops in also seen it done ) but i was impressed you looked up what oil and how much was required and took the time to use a measuring jug also just to mention you forgot to tell us that when topping up the coolant use like for like if its red use red if blue use blue if green use green as there not mixable and lastly you forgot the fuel filter which should be done as part of an engine service so all in all a few tips for next time but do keep up the good work as your getting much better with electronics and i thought the dishwasher heater vid was awesome hope to see lots more in 20 20
That low coolant level is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
My Mate VINCE is the best fixing channel with the best soundtrack.
Useful reference guide, I've worked on plenty of cars in my spare time but was useful to know around a mk5 Golf before I did mine.
Dude it was only just before Christmas my Mrs brother asked me about servicing his car in the new year. I have decent knowledge but they weird coincidence that you uploaded this had helped me decently to make sure it went nice and smoothly. Love your videos. Gives me a bit of confidence to try fixing things myself. Thank you. Hope 2020 is a great year for you
Maybe do a how to fix on the neighbors car alarm vince!
He did. That's the next video
Nice lol
Refreshing vid Vince, nice to see a different angle on your fixing series, would like to see more stuff unrelated to electronic gadgets in future.
Like the fridge video?
Thanks a lot for the guideline, I did the service today and all was exactly as you described so thank you so very much for your feed, keep up the great job 👌
Amazing video. For some reason I could not free the second connector holding the engine cover. But managed to do it by pivoting the engine cover to rest upwards with the connector still in place.
Spark plugs are screwed into the hottest part of the engine so it's very common for the repeated thermal cycles to seize them in the holes. There's some debate over whether to put anti-seize compound on spark plug threads and it probably depends on the particular spark plugs.
This video's absolutely amazing, I've got VW Mk 5 petrol and I did service by looking at this video thank you very much I have saved £ 210. ( Kwik Fit price)
Calling it the "pollen filter" is a very sharp marketing decision. Better than "Pollution from all the other cars filter" :P
You see that button in the oil filter housing. By this i dont mean the oil filter cap but whatever it screws into. You need to depress that button a few times to expel the old oil captured in this oil filter housing whilst the oil is draining. After depressing this, the old oil captured, trickles into the sump to be drained through the sump plug hole in the usual way. There won't be much old oil captured in the oil filter housing but its best to avoid contamination of new oil as much as possible. Hope this helps. My favourite part of your video was the spark plugs replacement and i am confident in tackling this video now. I have the exact same spec car. Thanks for showing this.
Great movie, shows every detail. Thank you
Great job,did mine last Friday,replaced v belt too. Only thing don't forget the petrol filter too..underneath the right rear door..if not replaced it clogs up.
always remember to oil the oil filter seal fresh oil before tightening the filter. otherwise it will get stuck next time.
Just going to give the air filter housing a bit of a clean out (smack it on the floor) and it’s now cleaned out 😂
Another interesting video 😊
Haha :-)
I've watched quite a few of your videos and find them very informative. I was wondering if you have a video or maybe a series that focuses on using a multimeter to check capacitors, resistors, coils and other common checks you have used using a multimeter dnd how to check if they are bad or not. Also options on a multimeter to use for these checks?
Glad you didn't use that dreadful oil sucker thing this time :) always unscrew the oil sump plug people 👍
But it was funny to watch poor Vince struggle.
I have same engine, it now has 208.000km and with good maintainance and regular engine oil change it runs totally smooth and no oil burn!. Thanks for the video
How much burning?
@@toplespecah666 Almost zero, i add nothing between oil changes
@@wertGR how many kilometer you use?
@@toplespecah666 Every year or 8-10.000km MAX.
@@wertGR thanks for your response, i just recently change engine oil, but they put 3.8L of oil, that will be a problem or what should i do? As i know mk5 just use 3.6L oil including oil filter change
Awesome video, very simple and well explained. 10/10 mate 👍👍😊😊😊
Thanks very much mate, this will save me a packet. Straightforward instruction, clear video . Cheers Vince
Hello guys my golf 5 fsi 1.6 is showing engine light then I put on the computer tell me that low pressure fuel system sensor fault, now I'm what can i change?
I'm asking please what can i change on that fault?
Just bought a fairly neglected one of these (poor thing). Thinking I will get a service done by a professional first time around just so they give it a really good check, (probably spend the car's worth again getting it MOT compliant), and then service it myself going forwards to save a bit of money considering it is fairly straight-forward work. Great video!
Good work Vince. Just want to shine in on some information regarding the VW sump plug.
If you have an OE sump plug the washer is made of steel and is not replaceable. The whole screw with washer is to be replaced if it looks bad.
The plug is to be tightened to 30-35Nm, no more. The sealing surfaces are precision machined at the factory and will not leak.
If it gets over torqued and you damage the threads(easily done) the sump has to be replaced or taken off and repaired at a machine shop. Have seen damaged threads sooo many times.
a machine shop to tap the threads a size larger? Its not rocket surgery.
Gigs well ofcourse, if you have the means to do it yourself then there is no need to go to a machine shop.
great video : so well explained: thank you !
Really good video. I will be doing my own service now. Cheers 👍
Loved this video style Mate
Fuel filter? And what about your break pads and disks? golfs are so nice and east to work on
Thank you, very helpful!
Just a quick reminder: The O-Ring of the Filter Cap needs to be covered in oil, at least a little bit. So, use the old oil and simply go over the o-ring with your oil covered finger. This will ensure the O-Ring to fit where it belongs and prevent it from popping out of its groove in the cap.
Excellent video thank you.
Up there with the best in terms of car repair videos and overall, of course. Great job, Vince.
fantastic video!
I have the same one, I have an engine badge on the dashboard, and the information that the oil sensor needs to be done does it mean that the engine is on the finish
Great job!
Jeez volkswagen, you not only integrated the air filter into the engine cover, you need to remove SEVEN screws even though the housing is hinged on one side?!
*hugging my japanese cars*
An advantage of this system in comparison to my Honda. You don’t need a vacuum cleaner to clean the housing from debris.
@@AttilaTheHun333333 nah you just need to unplug a bunch of stuff and remove some screws xD
@@rfmerrill
I understand. But you usually need to vacuum out the housing from debris, like leafs and stuff. That's what I mean. It's a step you don't have to do with the VW system.
@@AttilaTheHun333333 I can appreciate that, but I think only having to pop two clips to get the filter out more than makes up for it!
rfmerrill Ok, just wanted to give another perspective. Cheers
you know the MOT is the minimum safety standard a vehicle must meet, the advice given on a service although may not be an MOT fail is still very important and essential to both stay safe and prolong the life of your car, not to mention repairing things at first notice could save a lot of money in the long run as ignoring small issues an cause consequential damage down the line so anyone who just relies on an MOT for the inspection thinking theyre saving money and will be ok are most definatley not
Which oil type is the best for 1.6 fsi BAG? Right now im using Mobil 5w40. Should i stick to it or change to other oil type?
Great video! Does anyone else notice a very slight buzzing/humming noise when idling with this model 🤔 it goes away as soon as the accelerator pedal is on even at incredibly low revs
Hi. Cheers. Had a major service. Fuel filter fitted too.
Mot etc..
I still have this awful knock rattle noise underneath somewhere. When driving on uneven roads, bumps. I've checked everywhere as much as I can . Took all wheels off looked at suspension. Don't know what it is. It sounds something very loose. But can't see any swaybar link play. Etc.
The suspension is shit btw.
Any clues!!???? Thanks.
Oh steering is fine
nice man .thx we have the same car. u dont have brake fluids?
Nice useful video as usual Vince =D
Thanks Chris :-)
nice video... i was looking for transmission oil change
very good job
How petrol filter, may u do a demo on it as well
Nice job done. I have one question. Which engine oil did you used? I saw it is a castrol edge but cant see the label. And one more, whisch spark plugs did you put? Thank you.
Marko Mladenović at 0:50 it looks like Castrol Edge 5W-30 LL,
It’s the orange and white lable down right on the bottle
This is so usefull wtf , thanks a lot !
Tanks mate. For the upload ...
Sweet
Very very help thanks mannnn
Two things I notice very different in this car compared to American ones, is the oil filter and not sure if the spark plugs you guys have over there have seat washers that you need to almost tighten and crimp.
We have the metal housing filters too on older vehicles. I think these took over because the filter is easier to manufacture or something. These filters are mostly very cheap and I find them (mostly) more convenient to change du to them being in the engine bay.
Do you do anything else with this car? As I have the same
Happy new year
Do you not have to pump the radiator hose to ensure no air is in the system when topping up the coolant?
Can somebody help me with this please
Hello. Wich spark plugs reference you have used?
Great video Vince, but you need to do the Plugs and Coil Packs on a Porsche 911 996, now that is a right fiddly PITA. Mick 👍🍻
I brought a Bluetooth receiver from eBay. It is not faulty. It works fine on my speaker.
Thank you
Hi vinc the VW golf Tfi is it diesel or petrol
Brother can you help me? Ive got an mk5 1.6 fsi and i changed yesterday the oils just like you did. Today i went for a calm ride and when i came back i saw oil on the floor. I am terrified bro. Help plz
Hello. What candles you put can be the article or the name in full. Thanks
what about the fuel filtter
The first hose you removed in 2.02minuts is not in my car, what does it do?
2:10 i cant get that thing out. any tips? i've tried putting a flat screwdriver in but doesnt work
Any luck with getting it out? I’m on the same boat
How do I replace the PCV VALVE OIL SEPARATOR..
The connector which you need to lever with a screwdriver, mine just won’t budge and it’s super frustrating
Castrol ege 5w30 is fine?
Dropped a like
Always entertaning when you do stuff like this! Get a beemer in you family I need to do the same on my car!
Or a Merc Kompressor ;)
Remove dipstick when adding oil! Thats why it was so slow, there was no place for air to escape except to the filler cap hole. Else it would go through dipstick hole and it would be much easier
That first thing you pulled out of the engine, what is it called?
Airbox !?
Wow Vince, is there anything that you haven't tried to fix?!? Lol!!

2:00 what is that hose used for?
After all your 'Trying to fix' videos, I wonder if you can also fix people. There are some who would need it tbh
Hmmm, a fixer fixes people dead...
Sure i've seen this video before! Is it an old one!
it does look like one I seen around the summer time, plus the lack of clothing suggests it as well. looking back he did upload clips of this 2 months ago for the coil pack, and how to reset service interval. but sure he shown us all of this before then as well.
@@michaelthomas3646 defo summer time 17.31 (cars clock) and the suns out
Yeah, this was filmed back in the summer the same day as the Ford Ka service. This one hasn't been on UA-cam before but Michael has it correct. I took the coil packs part and the service interval part (and I still have a removing the engine cover to put live) and put them on UA-cam as short videos. Most viewers don't want to watch a 25min vid to do one part of the job like the service interval, so hopefully those shorter vids will get some separate views in from non subscribers :-)
a heads up on brake fluid if its low like below half it's time for brakes
And dont ever add fluid unless you've had a leak. Itll just over flow right onto the ground, waste of money
какое масло льете в мотор?
*ChrisFix left the chat*
Anime guy lol love that
F91W 🥇
Wait? No fuel filtre change?
Excellent video, but too shaky, video stabilization please
It’s good practice to pull the key from the ignition and put it elsewhere to prevent accidentally starting the car while making the oil change. I know sounds ridiculous, but it happens to the best of us...especially when you are doing other tasks while waiting for the oil to drip.
Is the other fellow your mate Vince?
Haha. That is my brother Paul :-)
4:22 counter clock wise i thought it was anti-clock wise
Same thing
The mechanic accidentally put my car with 3.9L of oil, is that ok or?
Shame no anti-seize on the plugs 🤭
I agree I always put anti-seize on the plugs just make it easier to remove the next time, and engine oil change is done on a hot engine to thin the oil and get more oil out
Hi vince, hope you poured that waste oil straight down the drain. Best wishes, a fully qualified mechanic.
Haha, the most environmentally conscious way :-)
You mean "anticlockwise".
Are you The What Happens when Channel
OK, so at the start of the video, I am guessing its not going to be bottle of lighter fluid and a match sort of fix? Now that would bring in the views ;) Only kidding, well kinda... not a fan of VW's, overhyped, overpriced and over here... :P I drive British cars only... well Reliant is a British brand, they did build some cars... Princess Anne had a Reliant... and she was given a three wheel van she gave to her gardener... People laugh at mine, right up until I tell 'em the insurance is like £80 a year, the tax is even less and that 70+ mpg... and it does have a radio and one windscreen wiper and two, count 'em two windy up and down windows and a heated rear screen to warm your hands on when pushing hehehehe
Haha, nice one Ian :-)
