2018 VW GTI (MK7.5) - Goodbye Plastic Oil Pan!

[@boostedveedub9687]

Bad ass looking oil pan. Just 10hp on looks alone lol. 👍🏻

[@vhateverlie]

Boosted Veedub more like 10hp less cuz of the extra oil that is now getting sloshed around the engine.

[@klintgarner1791]

Thanks for the cool sweepstakes ECS! Even though I didn't win it was fun to watch the build and nice to have a little more reason to buy goodies for my 15 GTI. Plz ignore the haters and continue to do this in the future! :)

[@Keepin-it-wheel101]

Man that is a really cool technique on how you put that seal on the pan..

[@mrsnowboardcrazy]

Who ever one this is one lucky SOB! This thing is a wicked

[@clementcroitor]

Did I miss the call!? 😞 Congrats to the winner. Sickest gti in town.

[@kawzx777]

Well the dream is over! Guess I will keep building my 2016 GTI 😔

[@botdingo]

Nobody ever tells you how much to torque the oil pan bolts...but if you over tighten them it will destroy the upper oil pan which is a pretty serious job. Wish I knew this beforehand. 4000 mile GTI has to sit now

[@TheTryHardDad]

Plus make a metal oil pan and skid plate for the 2019 Tiguan

[@Xmoto16]

Does this pan help with oil starvation? Im not sure this car has that problem but just wondering since your swapping the pan might as well put the best equipment possible.

[@JDPowers215]

So apparently I didn't win lol. Can't wait to see next year's crazy build!!

[@d0cx]

ITS THE DONUT GUY

[@overclockeverything2310]

How come my 2015 Passat with the 1.8 TSI have a metal oil pan already? Or just GTI's come with the plastic ones?

[@eflizotte]

How much weight does that street shield weigh?

[@kevinnavarrete8760]

Question🤔what benefit does increasing the capacity oil do to the car ?

[@gradystubbs977]

Yo what I didn’t know he worked for ecs I was just looking at getting a r32 vw and I kinda wanna mod it a little

[@tehmediasource]

Wait, Isn't this dude On Donuts page now

[@demize6]

Would this fit on a 2019 Tiguan

[@Primo0312]

So who won or you guys still didn't announce the winner

[@chief27]

Which LM product is this ? Do you have for European brands of VW group the street protection?

[@eppyz]

With the turbo upgrade and all, are you still using the VW 508 Spec oil?

[@elcoronacartel]

No, thats a 5w40 weight which means its 502 spec

[@VS666]

lol i cant believe VW would use a plastic oil pan on a car this expensive. such a bad way to cut costs...

[@chriskeegan8919]

Other brands are doing this also.

[@awl98]

Any chance on doing a mk7.5 R ? Doesn’t have to be a give away.

[@emersoncaicedo3146]

Why on earth would Volkswagen STILL have a plastic oil pan and skid plate? Absurd

[@nolangoldberg3845]

It saves weight vs. metal, does the job for stock, street use as VW intends, and improves gas mileage. The factory undertray is not a skid plate. Its​ job is to control airflow, improving stability and fuel economy.

[@_Ambition124]

You'd be surprised what other plastic parts vw uses that shouldn't even be plastic in the first place...

[@nobleman-swerve]

Emerson C the oil pan is actually recessed into the underbelly of the engine compartment. If something was actually high enough to gouge it out you've already lost your radiator stack at the very least.

[@hypnotik174]

can you elaborate how the plastic oil pan improves gas mileage?

[@nolangoldberg3845]

The plastic oil pan weighs less than a metal oil pan. When s component at the design and manufacturing stage is made lighter, this allows for compound weight savings. When The engineers shave X kilograms from an assembly like the engine, seat, spare tire, whatever, they can reduce weight elsewhere such as lighter suspension components, etc. The reason that manufacturers went to compact temporary spare tires that cost more than regular tires was that they allowed a total of about 100 kilograms to be saved. Other advantages of plastics can be more effective sound dampening and easy manufacturing of complex shapes. Enthusiasts tend to think of faster = better. Manufacturers must meet safety, emissions, fuel economy, and noise regulations at a price people will pay. Few people are willing to buy cars with the trade offs that enthusiasts often want. We are a niche market.

[@Crypto_Chino]

I love ECS tuning but all these car givaways are scams. its a marketing scheme and its common sense, 9/10 its usually rigged and the winner is already chosen. On a side note - this is a badass car.

[@abusrhanaldbaeabusrhanaldb3077]

👑👑👑

[@Ddamico2004]

Can’t believe VW puts plastic oil plans in this car. I owned a GTI and when I found out it was plastic, made me sad 😢

[@krazytube2196]

Plastic does not corrode and has better temperature retention than steel or aluminum pans meaning in winter you can get the oil warmed up faster compared to a steel pan

[@MrStroller4u]

So who took it?

[@exothermal.sprocket]

People love their polymer Glock pistols, but whine to no end with their polymer VW oil pans.

[@jasons2697]

Soooo, basically the sweepstakes was rigged 🤔

[@tdawg719]

Jason S he actually explained how it isn’t

[@Xmoto16]

ITS NOT RIGGED MORON WATCH THE CONTENT

[@progmanmike]

Yes, rigged by 3rd party lawyers

[@StopDropandLOL]

You guys serious with that fucking hood bra.

[@edlopez3165]

Um, I think there was a mistake. I haven't gotten a phone call yet.

[@originalswolfsburg9889]

Going forward I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. Poor customer service and incompetent staff.

[@ChunkyChipz]

A mod shouldn’t exist at first place...

[@UNKNOWN-zb3qm]

Why do you look like the dude from donut?

[@isaiaharias2196]

Is it just me or does he sound like he should be on throtl

[@E50HW]

only i see is adding more weight

[@4.6_boat]

Kenan D I guess your eyes don't work then

[@chriskeegan8919]

Bigger oil pan, more oil, and a skid plate...how is that not adding more weight? 🤦‍♂️

[@originalswolfsburg9889]

So I give you guys honest comments here and there . it seems you butthurt so now your purposely sending me wrong parts. 3 separate orders with wrong parts. I call you different hours of the day and send me directly to voicemail. Use chat feature then your put me on a endless wait time. So how am I supposed to get this shit resolved and get the right parts

[@ecstuning]

Hey! Sorry to hear that you received the wrong parts. We appreciate the honest comments here on KZbin and they certainly have nothing to do with improper order fulfillment. Reach out directly to Chris here: [e-mail] or tell me your order numbers and we'll get it taken care of.

[@davereid8585]
