Thanks for the question Phil. The top pipe in that pair is for CCV system and does not contain any coolant. The lower pipe however is where the coolant flows through. We just wanted to remove the least amount of parts in order to free up the valve cover assembly. Hope that helps answer your question, good luck on your Mercedes-Benz project. Cheers!

Thanks for the question Adrian, it will depend on your motor/trans configuration. Most of the Passat drivetrains are very similar but we cannot speak to the clearance of those since we only have TDI's. You don't have to worry about doing any harm by removing the "Dog Bone" as it just prevents the motor from flexing front to rear. Typically the motor/trans are supported by mounts on each side of the car. So essentially it just hangs there and the dog bone keeps it from moving forward and back. It doesn't support any weight, think of it like a brace. Good luck on your VW project, let us know how it goes. Cheers!

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the handle. If you are unable to grab any piece of the broken drill bit or plastic pin, our recommendation would be to use a fine Dremel bit to basically bore out the pin. We have heard of guys who don't want to take the panel apart, drilling the bottom side of the trim, where the pin would come through. Theoretically you could remove the handle assembly without taking everything apart. Then you could just use a punch to drive the pin out. We don't recall if that hole is visible afterwards though. Good luck on your Mercedes-Benz project, let us know how it goes. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, sorry we didn't fire it up after the repair. Good luck on your Mercedes-Benz project. Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words, glad the video helped you out with your Dodge project. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, glad to hear you are tackling it yourself. Those dealerships love to charge customers. Not sure what the Delphi unit costs but you will still be saving a ton of cash. Good luck on the repair, let us know how it goes. Cheers!

@ ok so i just finished and we have a 2015 vw passat and the fuel pump was a little different from yours but similar replacement process. Took me about 5 hours since no deaer in a 30mile radius had the part available so i went with autozone delphi brand. Find out the new pump was broken so had to return and go to another autozone across town for the replacement. The gasket i had to purchase at the dealer and it gave me a hard time when i was attempting to put the metal nut lock on. Finally, its done though. Your video was helpful with this task.

Thanks for the question, it is not absolutely necessary but it's a good tool to have if you do any work on your car on a regular basis. Not sure where you are located but you can pick up an inexpensive one for around $20. www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/sockets-ratchets/torque-wrenches/3-8-in-drive/38-in-drive-5-80-ft-lb-click-torque-wrench-63880.html It's important not to over tighten spark plus since the cylinder head is aluminum. You will just want them good and snug, after many years of doing it, there is a certain feel to it. Good luck on your Kia project, let us know how it goes. Cheers!

Sorry for that, we just wanted to show a detailed overview of what it takes to replace the handle. Even though it's a bit if work, it's a lot cheaper than $1,000 for a new door panel. Cheers!

Thanks for the question, are you thinking Dealer or Indy shop? This is typically a 4 hour job so depending on the hourly rate, it will be $400-$900. Most shops won't just replace the gasket, since there is a chance the plastic cover may be warped. Aftermarket cover is around $200 and OEM is around $400. So it could be as cheap as $600 or as much as $1100. Any more than that they are really up charging on the parts. Good luck on your BMW project, let us know how it goes. Cheers!

@@Papermationforlife Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the connector, sometimes they can be a pain. Just be sure you are pushing DOWN before you squeeze the clip. There is some pressure on the connector so it needs to be relieved before disconnecting it. If that doesn't work, you can also try a small hook/pick tool to get under the lip of the connector from the bottom side (closest to the pump). Just be very gentle and only pry it enough to remove. You do not want to break the connector, otherwise it won't stay connected to the pump afterwards. Let us know how it goes, Cheers!
