Dude, thanks for sharing the video. And thanks for the 32 mm socket bit. I'd have totally forgotten about it while assembling the tools required for the job. I have a 1.6 TDI 77kW Polo and intend to take up the 105k km servicing myself and your video definitely helps for first timers like me. Keep 'em coming! *Subscribed*
I'm curious why you've added a can of friction reducer which will undermine the job of the oil's additive package. Why didn't you also use Liqui Moly oil? I presume the oil is 507.00 with it being a CR engine? Mann and Hengst filters are OE for VW, recent purchases suggest to me that Hengst are slightly better made. I'd suggest packing the ratchet handle with grease, its sounds like its running dry.
Mos2 was added because I wanted to try it. I didn’t use a Liqui Moly oil because it’s a ridiculous price in Australia (over $100 for 5L) Yes I used a certified 504/507 oil. OE oil filter for this engine is Mahle. Ratchet was an old tool laying around; I’ve since acquired better tools. Thanks for watching
Had rat bit in the wire from battery to coupler then to injector. Rat bite rectified even though OBD system shows cylinder 2 injector active/static. What we can do please explain, Thank you
Great video I am going service my one this weekend. I have same one but 14 reg. 130000 driven Its oil consumption is going high the engine heats up and shows red engine oil sign sometime. since I took over the car I used 5w30 I believe the seller was feeding 5w40. Car seems ok for last couple of days. What would you suggest shall I observe or service the car with engine flush and the. Add 5w40 ?
+alexaescht can i use old drain plug? or should i need to replace it? in india we dont get vw parts outside delers...and delers do not allow counter sell
Alex.., thanks for video. I have a doubt. My vw ameo (1.5 diesel. 2018) make a small jerk during accelaration in 2nd and 3rd gear. What can i do for it
Check the basics: are you using good quality diesel, is the air filter clean? Maybe watch my video on cleaning injectors with Liqui Moly and try that also
+karthik h The additive is not necessary and I do not use it any more. It claimed to reduce friction and make the engine quieter but I didn't notice much difference
On one occasion I put the large o-ring on the threads instead of on the correct location which is the groove on filter housing. Oil dripped out and formed a small puddle. Luckily I noticed it at an early stage.
Thank u Alex .... PL tell me how do I know n confirm whether the engine oil n filter are changed at service center for my polo, coz am on doubt PL help me.
if someone tryes to fit the filter upsitedown will in install or the construction of the filter wont let you fit it upsidedown? and if it is possible of that mistake to happen what will be the impacts?
+papakolos hra It can fit upside down I think. It will allow oil to drain out of the filter housing when the vehicle sits making oil pressure take longer to build on the next startup
How many liters oil it takes ? i generally use motul 300v (5-30) and i change in each 8.000km or 10.000km. Will you think to share "how to change fuel filter" video for 1.6tdi's on your channel?
+Ufuk Yıldırm Hi, the 1.6TDI takes 4.3 litres of oil. Changing to oil up to 10000km is a good idea to prolong engine life. During the car's next service it will require a fuel filter change, so I will be sure to make a video on how to change it. Make sure to subscribe!
+emigrate You must make sure that the Lucas oil has the VW 504/507 approval if you want to use it in VW's newest engines, especially TDI with diesel particulate filter. DO NOT use an oil which is missing this rating in a car with a newer TDI engine.
+bobby-jay seddon From memory, the oil drain bolt is 17mm and the oil filter housing nut is 32mm. Drain bolt comes off with a ring spanner and the filter housing uses a 1/2" drive 32mm socket. If you need the sizes of the other tools please let me know.
+bobby-jay seddon No problem. You'll need a torx bit (have no idea what size, maybe T20 or T25) to undo the part that sits above where the oil filter is to get it out. You'll see what I mean in the video - just a small component you have to move to the side to get access to the filter.
Hi there! I really enjoyed watching your video. I have the same car and engine and I usually do the service of my other cars.. But since this one has the plastic it gets a little bit more time consuming having to jack it up to remove the protection underneath. So I bought a oil draining pump and I'm going to try it out in this model since I don't need to get under it to reach the oil filter, in my opinion it will be more tidy and fast instead of risking to damage the oil pan underneath due to over tighten the plug... What do you think? Is it better doing the old way, removing the plug or using an oil pump to suction all the oil through the dipstick?
+notme691 Hi, thanks for taking the time to comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I agree that removing the plastic protection under the engine is time consuming and annoying and if I had one of those suction pumps, I would totally use it. I even think many VW dealers use suction pumps instead of dropping the plastic belly pan for every oil change. Hope that answers your question.
alexaescht amazing, thanks! the vw dealer in portugal it costs 300€ just for the oil and filter, and on a trusted mechanic it costs 110€ for the same job, but i still can buy oil(castrol 5w30 edgeLL) + oil filter(mahle) costs 44.50€ so ill just start doing the maintenance myself. the electric pump was 19.90€ so im all good! i know what is the exact type of oil it gets and im sure the filter is changed... i do service on my vw every 20.000km thanks and keep up the good work :)
+notme691 Excellent. Doing it yourself is always better (as long as you know what to do) because you know exactly what oil and filter are going in. I would recommend changing the oil more often than 20,000km; the recommended interval here in Australia is 15,000km but I still think that is too long. I service my cars every 10,000km.
alexaescht well, on other cars i do every year or 10.000km, but since this is claimed to be oil for 30.000km i do it every 20.000km... despite the oil being this good do you still recommend every 15.000km? i drive 25.000 to 30.000 each year btw
+notme691 Because you do a lot of km per year, it is probably ok to change the oil at 20,000km. If it was my car, I would change it at 15,000km but I am sure it will be fine pushing it to 20,000km considering you travel long distances each year.
+bbogdanmircea Hi, I change oil and oil filter every 10,000km. The additive is called 'Liqui Moly Mos2' and I think it does make a difference, but it isn't necessary. I raise cars using a 2.5 tonne hydraulic trolley jack and support them with 3.0 tonne jack stands.
+alexaescht Ok great answer ! Maybe I will change by myself also earlier, what do you think about Liqui Moly 4200 Long Life Oil can I keep it for 30000 km ?
+alexaescht I agree but in Germany it is so expensive to change the oil at the service, around 200 euro ... maybe I will biy the tools and try to change by myself ...
The crush washer is not removable on these drain plugs so you have to replace the whole plug and washer each time. It can be reused but it’s not recommended
highlandrab19 Yes it will be the same part as most VW engines. There is a shorter plug available which allows you to remove and replace just the crush washer as well
Hai, Mr Alex 👍 Thank you so much, for your Video on Polo Diesel Car. It's useful I have a question 1. I bought 4.0 L Mobil oil 5W - 40 'Fully Synthetic' oil for my Polo Car.

+Vikas Vijaya Kumar Ok, that engine requires 505.01 or 507.00 oil. A 507.00 oil will be much easier to find in stores, for example Shell ECT 5w30, Mobil 1 ESP etc. All VW 507.00 oils are either 5w30 or 0w30
alexaescht thank you,what is difference between VW 505.01 and VW 507 .. which is better ... Mobil Esp 5w30 is available online in India... and also here in India ambient temperatures is plus 40C .. is 5w30 suitable for our conditions
+Vikas Vijaya Kumar VW 507 is a newer specification that is compatible with cars requiring VW 505.01. The 5w30 507.00 grade is suitable for ambient temperatures up to 60 degrees C

On one occasion I put the large o-ring on the threads instead of on the correct location which is the groove on filter housing. Oil dripped out and formed a small puddle. Luckily I noticed it at an early stage.
Thanks man my question is that all you do to service your car?
Air filter, fuel filter and pollen filter are the other main service items
Would the Blue motion 1.4 tdi be the same great vid

Thank u Alex .... PL tell me how do I know n confirm whether the engine oil n filter are changed at service center for my polo, coz am on doubt PL help me.
It’s nearly impossible. Maybe if you draw a paint line across the filter housing and filter lid you could see whether they open it
if someone tryes to fit the filter upsitedown will in install or the construction of the filter wont let you fit it upsidedown? and if it is possible of that mistake to happen what will be the impacts?
+papakolos hra It can fit upside down I think. It will allow oil to drain out of the filter housing when the vehicle sits making oil pressure take longer to build on the next startup
alexaescht but wouldnt it make the low pressure indicator flash on the dash?
+papakolos hra Only on startup, maybe
alexaescht so could an upsidedown filter situation cause any type of mechanical damage short term or long term?
+papakolos hra Yes potentially. Accelerated engine wear each time you start the engine
Anybody know the specification of the T30 torx head bolt removed before accessing the oil filter please? I have dropped mine and lost it 😭
