Completed my first ever oil and filter change no problem thanks to this video! Vw price = £190. Castrol oil and Bosch oil filter = £40! Thank you
This is exactly the information DIY'ers who just want to know the right oil and filter need. thank you.
Clean drain port with a cloth before assembling the plug it in order to remove any metal particles that could be left in oil pan and kept under the gasket.
Very nice how to video.
A couple of things: Use the correct size socket. Close is not good enough.
If you check the oil with the front of the car lifted you won't get an accurate dipstick reading. The stick is at the front of the engine & with the car lifted it will read lower than when the car is on the ground.
Cheers.
Hello and thank you for the great video it really helped us with the oil change.
My girlfriend and I went to a "self garage" to do the procedure and we got a couple of tips from the mechanics working there.
When you fill the engine with oil you should pour around 3 liters and then start the engine for 1 minute. This will make the oil circulate and fill the filter and all the regions in the engine. After one minute you shut down the engine and you measure again with the dip stick and add oil as needed.
Once again thank you for the effort.
Greetings from Bulgaria
OK this makes sense. I literally had this.
3L and I was at the top of the dipstick confused.
Ill run it for a minute and top it up if needed.
Thanks.
Exactly! This is what i read from "Motor Nerds" as well! Started my Golf GTI Clubsport engine on/off 3 times with 10 minute intervals in between first time to check the oil levels coz iwas so OCD about it... 😂 But excellent & working advice! 👍
we were sold the wrong filter without the spring loaded mechanism. Because the old filter was destroyed during removal we had no option but to fit the wrong one and drive it a few miles to get the right part. Car oil light came on a few times. Will we have done any damage? We also seem to have had to put in much more than 3.6L to get to the hashed level on dipstick - we did wait a long time for it to settle and checked it again after idling for a few minutes.
The spring mechanism is just anti-drain-back I believe. When full of oil it holds that oil, and during filter removal it allows it to drain so you don't get a mess. But on the first start-up on a 'dry' filter it should make no difference, the oil flow will take a second to fill the empty filter up. However oil light a concern regardless. Did the car make error chime (sound), with red oil can icon? You will have to check the car for DCT codes and see where that leads. Ongoing oil pressure issues you will have to check with a proper gauge, and diagnose. If engine running ok and sounds normal, and no more errors, I suppose nothing to do but trust it's ok.
yeah it was making the chime noise. We thought it was just detecting that it had the wrong filter and if we drove slowly would be okay as we were sure we had put enough oil in and it wasn't leaking. Changed for the filter for correct one and it seemed fine. Drove it round a bit and then took it to high revs and it came up with some errors saying it had misfired on a couple fo the cylinders. Cleared the codes and drove a few more miles and seemed fine. Might be running a bit rough or I might be imagining it. Probably needs spark plugs changed to might do that next. @@CraigsDIY
Third time doing the oil change myself, and it is impossible not to spill due to the crazy design of the very restricted oil filler
Use a funnel with a suitable neck that fits in there, and go slowly. Or, get a funnel that screws/seals onto the filler - try amzn.to/3XahOee
Clear, accurate and simple explanation thank you. Best I’ve seen anywhere. All the info you need and the explanation is matched with clear video. Much appreciated.
Many thanks mate! Good clear instructions, John from Australia 👍
Hi. Dankeschön. Es hilft sehr.
What you mean at 1:40 is ...."You can't trust the used car salesman i bought this car from" !!
Great video, should work for most recent 1.4 tsi Volkswagens. I do mine every 10.000km (6.200m) mainly because its an easy job.
Oil on turbo cars seems to turn black a little faster. Those filters seem to get stuck on there either way. I just hand tighten but they still seem to lock up every time.
Mine has 54.000 i need to do it in two months .Apart from oil what do i need to check more in a service please ?
Yeah these cars really hammer the oil. I reckon every 9 months/10k kms is about right
Excellent guide. Only difference was my drain was 18 mm.
Nicely done video. Thanks!!! How can you be lazy if you've made the effort to do the video? 🙂 I've just done the oil change of my 2011 VW TSI twincharger for the first time. It is actually better to use Edge 5W30 (VW 502 spec) and do frequent oil changes than use Edge LL (VW 504 spec) and do infrequent changes. Oil plays a major part in this engine.
can u do some full video on all service?
(all filters)
If you look at my Golf playlist the air and cabin filters are covered already. Haven't done petrol filter yet.
Thanks for your time and effort to make this video. From Cyprus
I love how you change the oil Just because you don't trust anyone in put some cheap shit I think like you and I choose always the best for m'y polo ^_^
Medamine Majid castrol is shit anyway
LUC4 only if he isn't original he is one of the best beside pennzoil and shell
Great video,
thank you for helping us out. Making an oil change is actually so easy, you just need trust in yourself and a good manual.
Awesome mate thanks for such a clear and simple explanation of doing the job....will work on my daughter's car tomorrow for sure...CHEERS!!!
It's so good to see someone respecting the certifications of the manufacturer (VW 502 or 504/507), I saw tons of oil change videos on UA-cam and people don't seem to care about specifications, they only talk about viscosity ! (It's fine to care about viscosity of course, but if you have the right viscosity and the wrong specification, the engine will be damaged)
The lousy TSI engins will wear down even if you use "correct" specs. You could change oil every 10000km you will still have the same problems. VW engines are garbage
Valter Turkalj jou moer is garbage
@@El_Jefe_S3 and in English?
Valter Turkalj 12 year old TSI here. No problems, all service at VW
VW 502/505 oil is intended for Volkswagen Golf IV 1.4. However, for the Golf VI 1.4 tsi, oil with the VW 504/507 standard is recommended.
What a great video
Very helpful video nicely explained
Great Vid. You make it look so easy in your bare feet and lack of gloves!
would recamend adding a touch more oil after running the engine. the oil filter will fill with up to half a litre which isn't being measured before running the engine.
I need video about the fuel filter change, anyone can give a link?
OK few things, 1,you should worm up the engine /oil before draining ,2 add some oil also into new oil filter 3, after the change let it run, let it cool and top up if needed.
Is that possible (to add oil to filter) as it is an upside down filter? I've used this video about 6 times now and change religiously every 6000 miles (taxi driver). The filter is the drain back type I believe, should I push down then pour some oil in?
@@DamianSix66 No, this filter upside/is not necessary to fill. All small filters in modern engines will be filled very quickly, so there's no need to fill them.
Hello, question: you removed the original filter 03C 115 561 H, which was installed correctly from 7/2010. But you put a different filter oc 593/4, which was installed until 6/2010. Did it work without any problems?
Very clear and well paced instructions and good filming.
Thanks, now i know they dont use those stupid one-time-use drain plugs :)
Just to confirm, 30mn is correct? Your description says so but in your video (and the subtitles) it sounds like 13.
Thanks a lot :)
30.
Have you done a DSG gearbox oil and filter change vid?
DSG 7-speed dry clutch not supposed to ever require it.
Excellent video. Thanks Craig
Very good instructions and explanation.Thanks
and disagree here, you want to have as much oil as possible, especially in TSI, this engines loves to burn oil. You might very quickly find out you have been running low for significant periods of time. Also remember that filter takes approx 200ml of oil so easy this car take 4L.
best comprehensive video!
Very helpful indeed. Thanks a lot
Craig just regarding the filter they list OC 593/3 and 593/4 do you know the difference by any chance. Just want go make sure I order the right one
Awesome video by the way!!
I don't know the difference, but the /4 was definitely correct for the 1.4 TSI. If you have the 1.2 double-check it.
Craig's DIY Car mine is a 2013 MK6 1.4 90tsi. They recommend the 593/3 which confused me
Great video buddy.
Many thanks... keep up the good work.
Castrol is shit. Period. Go look at all cars that have “Castrol” on the caps with no Castrol oil in them. Shell Helix all the way. Only fully synthetic oil
The thing not to miss is that castrol edge 5W30 is 60-100% organic/mineral, according to the manufacturer's MSDS. One of the worst choices if you aim at anything synthetic.
Nice video, but please next time, put the oilcap on the right way... thank you..😊
thanks again craig. oil change went well.
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Hi! I think, you should lower the car BEFORE adding oil. Oil stick does not measure right, if car is not level.. What you think? I like to see your videos, because you make them so well. I have MK6 myself, and you have been very big help for many times!! Thank you!!
Awesome video ^^ 😎👍👍
Very clear, no unnecessary chit chat that can be so annoying and no "basically" which I hate when some people try to explain things.
I'd say a very great video that can be studied and learnt from.
It’s a good how to video but you can put new oil in whilst your still on jacks !!!!! Your just gonna get a false reading!
Supercool mate. Easy video and the cleanest garage I have ever seen
Very clean.
I'm doing my first oil change on my VW 2013 golf.
Is this the basic set up for my car as well?
1:30 Its quite possible they could have just fitted a genuine vw filter?
They are pretty cheap, you can pick one up for around $15.
Thanks for that . An excellent video.
Cheers.
I have never seen an oil filter like that and it's my first time doing and oil change with one of those SO I have noticed that the "valve" only moves about one or two millimetres is that normal? I just found it strange that it moves so little
Hi Craig, video is very clear and has been just the help I needed. Many thanks !!
how do i find the right torque spec for my 1.4 tsi mk5 golf :)
Das Auto...
very clear instructions . thanks very much
Hello. That oil is genuine? I notice that the cap is not sealed with aluminium foil.. Thanks
Oil mobil one 5w30 long life no castrol 👍
You make great videos, thanks.
Nice video, today I changed the oil and the filter, I was hoping sure of the level, the mechanic put in full 4 liters of castrol edge, is it too much? And do I need to change the fuel filter too?
I'm sure it's fine but the only way to check is to use the dipstick. Fuel filter every 50,000 km or so.
okay thank you so much :) ... its not very much overflowing the max level and is slightly under that upper orange mark, btw i used an ABBRO motor flush to clean out before the oil change
3.6 liters of oil in a 1.4 90kw (122 HP) CAXA engine.
Awsome tutorial. Thanks💪🏻
Great video, very informative! Thank you!
i have the same car with 150,000km but use it in Spain in the summer when i visit it gets up to 30-40degrees.. would 5w-40 be a better option ?
5w30 should be fine
Great! Thanks!
goood
Very clean n well planned DIY Video.
Hi,
I own a VW Golf 1.4 TSI just this one. I hear the timing kit needs replacement every 90,000km of mileage. I am at 94000km right now. When would recommend replacing it?
If it's just like this one, it has a timing chain, not a belt, and so should be fine for the lifetime of the engine (absent any symptoms). Newer engines have cam belts which you'd probably want to look at sooner. I believe the accessory belt has a service interval of 90K, but you can probably get away with a lot longer - however do inspect it visually. Here is a recent vid on changing the accessory belt on my Ford (@ about 9 mins), it might help: ua-cam.com/video/ItND7vPozv8/v-deo.html
where is the power steering oil cap located ? thank you
Electric power steering here.
Is is the same proces for TDI 1.6 ?
Can I use 0W-20 for the 140HP version of 1.4T TSI engine? It's a 2010 MK6 Golf GT. Thanks.
I don't know, that seems rather light unless there's something special about that engine or your usage/environment. Go by the VW user manual / specifications.
They are all villains the world over
Nice one.
The oil on the stick need to be on half or to the top
Oil change interval?
Great job. I have the mk6 1.4 tsi 2009 manual. Only 34k on clock. Not been serviced for 3 years as I do very few miles 3k p.a. Want to service the car now. Do I need the timing chain replaced as well and how much does it cost?
Certainly not, so long as no issues, and you shouldn't at those miles. These engines do stretch their chains but you should have to worry about that for a long time, and hopefully never if you don't thrash it.
3 years is waaaaaay too long to wait between services. Old oil will eventually cause timing chain issues as the tensioner relies on oil pressure. Even doing next to no kms you should really drop the oil annually
@10:01 Really? Really?!!
Hi, I drive a 2016 Jetta 1.4TSI. The engine layout looks more or less identical. Juz want to confirm if the maintenance items such as oil, air and cabin filters are identical to the Golf in your video
A 1.4 TSI will be much the same, don't know about the cabin filter - probably though as the same filter is used on many VW/Audi vehicles. Check my other vids as I have on on that.
Be nice if the guy made the engine hot 1st beta to change oil when it hot
How many liters i have to fill in ? Tnx
Vw 504?
for the Golf VI 1.4 tsi, oil with the VW 504/507 standard is recommended.
What is the fluid housing on the top right hand side of the coolant reservoir called? What does it do?
Are you referring to the brake fluid?
how many hp for this model stock engine..125hp or 160hp..?
125.
So the castrol edge is the best oil for the mk6 1.4 tsi (90kw) ?
Hello bossman, i have mk6 golf tsi 1.4 122bhp 90kw i believe same car, checkout my channel for videos, castrol edge 5w 30 is best for performance, and castrol magnatrol 5w 30 is cheaper and cleans your engine and parts as it goes along, but both are fully synthetic so either is good just depends on your budget
Nothing is 'best', although Castrol is officially recommended by VAG. So long as you're buying a reputable brand that is citing the VW specification you'll be fine.
Craig's DIY Car Well thanks for the information both of you!
Vw say, Castrol is one and only. true is, all brand is good, if the specs are same. No matter which brand oil you use. They are just different sellers, same oil..
My friend : what kind of oil i need for my golf Tsi 2017 gasoline? Thanks
Check the owners manual
@@charliesangha its in slovak
Hi. Do you use all oil? (5 L)
The drain is a 18 not 19.
My mk6 golf has electric steering, however my steering feels heavy. Is there a way to fix it? Since there isn’t a steering fuel reservoir for the car.
Is it heavy as in the power steering has failed? Anything can be fixed but it sounds like a problem with the steering itself or the electric assist. Needs appropriate diagnosis and repair.
Craig's DIY Car yes it had failed it seems like although no lights have appeared on the dashboard.
How did you undo and redo the drain plug bolt with the torque wrench? I have the same car and have just tried to do this but my torque wrench which is the same size as yours is too long for it to turn fully under the car which is at the same height on the axle stands.
It doesn't need to turn fully, just enough to do the torque. I agree it was awkward. Use other tools for doing it up.
@@CraigsDIY That's brill, cheers. One thing, I've now got another tool to slacken the drain plug but after I start to unscrew the drain plug with the tool, it won't unscrew fully although it has definitely loosened but not entirely for the bolt/plug to be removed.
Hi Craig ! I just recently bought a used VW golf 1.4 TSI sport 158/160hp and I’m wondering if you have the owners manual to share ? Im from Singapore and the used dealers doesn’t have the copy. And for the engine oil what are the recommended viscosity should I use for brands like MOTUL,liqui moly? Thank you for this helpful VW videos so I can learn it myself
We bought an English-language manual from the UK, off eBay - have a look, not too expensive, many sellers will ship internationally. You can also get an electronic one on the VW website, but it's not easy to download it as a contained PDF so buying a hardcopy is the best bet.
The viscosity for the 1.4 TSI in the video is 5w30, more important to match the VW spec though. FYI your 160 hp is not the same 1.4 as this one.
does this apply to the golf mk V 1.4 tsi as well ?
Yes. MK V and VI are basically the same car. You should heck the owners manual for the oil type though. It might be different for your engine type.
Have you had problems with the chain yet?
Nope all still mechanically fine.
@@CraigsDIY I reused this video 2 years later (now) to check how much I have to tighten the drain plug on a 1.4 TSI BMY. Thanks yet again!
Hey, do you guys recommend using Mobil 1 Oil?
Use whatever reputable brand you like so long as it meets the VW standard. Mobil 1 is fine (but usually pricey).
My bro inlaws 2017 golf 1.4lt only 3 weeks old,he's done 3,000km and already has to put 2 litres of oil in it... is this normal for dsg engines ?
You mean TSI, the DSG is the gearbox. But I have heard that TSI's do use oil from new. Apparently VW try to claim a liter per 1000 km is 'normal' - hardly! This car is at 40,000 km and we had to top up a liter or so in the period between the oil change change shown and the next. Presumably your car is under warranty, so if you have the discussion with the dealer you could try to get a firm number for specified oil consumption tolerance in writing, then get them to test the car by logging the oil level over an agreed distance. I suggest you will have to get them involved like so to avoid giving them excuses. If you search Google "tsi oil use" you'll find many forum discussions about it.
Craig's DIY Car ok thanks
Isn’t it VW504 for a petrol engine
I think 504 is later than 502 so either is fine.
@@CraigsDIY VW 502/505 oil is intended for Volkswagen Golf IV 1.4. However, for the Golf VI 1.4 tsi, oil with the VW 504/507 standard is recommended.
Howe many oil is enough for engine 1.4tsi 122
About 3.5 - 4 L.
