How to change your engine oil, filters and spark plugs

[@Donplatano809]

Thanks for your videos bro.... never had the confidence to do any of this on my own until my accident... now im watching all your videos and taking care of my gti the proper way!! greetings from the states!

[@johnnyhugs]

Just bought a MK4 and your videos are amazing.

[@edwardpritchard7987]

This is a great video thanks! Very articulate and clear. Perfect for the novice! Much appreciated.

[@bow489]

thanks to you I made my first oil change with ease, you and your videos are awesome, thanks!!

[@TheWeirdVisionGuy]

Thank you for this great video, as I have just brought a used car this is gonna help a lot, I didn't even know that there was a pollen filter there, so cheers mate.

[@BMACVAGS]

I 100% agree with changing at least once per year. Thank You for taking the time to comment, I hope other people will take notice of your advice

[@jackieniels]

Very detailed explanination! just purchased that very same car, so this helps me a lot. Thanks for sharing and taking time to do this!

[@MrJess-el8ku]

Ik had er ook veel aan.. 😆

[@davidadelaide]

Your a Champion Mate! Thanks for taking the time to post this informative video.

[@paulolive2711]

Hi, I just got a 1999 1.6 Mk4 VW Golf for my daughters birthday. She will be getting her licence in April. So, just a quick note to say thanks for your videos. They will be a great help in the next few weeks doing all the odd jobs that a second hand car needs doing to get it 100% again, well maybe 95% haha. Like the Aerial Antenna, the mirror control switch, and a few other things as well. All common faults, by the looks of your videos. The vehicle will also need a service, so a big thank you for your video on that and how to reset the service indicator light. Great work, I don't really make videos for you KZbin, But I might make a couple and let you know how I got on. :)

[@dayfull]

Many thanks, clear and concise, good idea to shoot outside on a cloudy day as well, less contrast and shadow...

[@scholliman1]

Greetings from Germany, since the University is sucking in all my Money, i have to do a lot more by myself. This video helped me a lot and its very kind of you, to take your time to help other people.

[@knwgt5426]

Good video mate helped me change my oil for first time solo. I live on a hill with high kerbs so just got one side up on the kerb to get to oil plug

[@mattmarais7328]

Cheers for the great video. Do you have a recommended store/site you use to buy the filters etc?

[@09liambelfast]

brilliant video mate you made the whole thing look so easy, will tackle my own golf tomorrow

[@PhatstuffVlogs]

Same ere fuck paying over the odds

[@Just_Sebastian]

Thanks! Very helpful. I've been meaning to start doing these things myself but have only gotten to the interior filter so far. That's gonna change from now on!

[@dylanmilo4456]

instablaster.

[@micohc]

Awesome! Finally some good dyi tutorials for 1.4 16v engine. Thanks a lot! May i ask you a question please? I hear'd there is a dryer in the air conditioning system. Is there any need to drain it or something like that?

[@danielfl.9347]

Hey man, great video! Is the filters the same place as on a Škoda Fabia 1.4 16V?

[@potstickers03]

Hey man, how often do you suggest redoing plugs? I have a 1.8t if that makes a difference from n/a. Great video(s) by the way. You've helped me out a number of times now, including redoing shocks and springs. I always look to see if you've made a video first whenever I'm working on my car.

[@AlexStanbury]

Excellent video, thank you very much - I'm now a subscriber. Got a 2002 2.0 GTI as my first car and am hoping to learn how to do all these maintenance jobs myself and your videos will really help. First I've got to diagnose and fix some leaks though!

[@synworks9378]

hi its very helpful thank you very much could you tell me are the parts gonna be similar for 1.6 golf 2002 mk4? thanks

[@ckbond41]

Thanks for uploading the video it was very clear and to the point.

[@randomprecision7519]

Fistly, thanks for the video. Do you mind me asking why it's not possible to drain via the dipstick on this model?

[@TheBaldGardener]

really good video i see you mentioned you knew the torque spec, what was it? As i have a torque wrench i can use for the job

[@SJDALLOW]

These guides are brilliant. Good job 👍🏻

[@BMACVAGS]

Glad you like them!

[@BMACVAGS]

when you say side skirts are you talking about the door mouldings?

[@kieranosullivan9794]

Very helpful how much oil do you need to put in?

[@taurayimukwati2228]

thanks man very good video. I have a polo vivo 2014 1.4i do you have those that side. it a bit different from yours

[@dhruvneshpatel9673]

[@BMACVAGS]

[@mortennordheim420]

Love your videos! Could you upload a video on how to change your antifreeze!?

[@lukaslancik4889]

Awesome video mate, I have golf 1.6 but it is very similar and your video is very helpful, till this day I didn't even know that you can change filter for air which you are actually breathing in the car, Thanks a lot man!! Cheers! :)

[@shazimkhan4825]

Lukáš Lančík hey how different is it from the 1.4 to 1.6

[@lukaslancik4889]

Shazim Khan Well the cabin filter is on the other side and thats it ;)

[@miguelfernandezvillazon2637]

hi man, i am ver y greatfull for all your videos and i have made great use of them but i am having a hard time to replace spark plugs on my mk4 1.6 sr it would be awesome if You could make a vídeo on that. I think there are loads of people having issues with that. Again, great job!

[@johnabrahm8578]

hi great video also a question i have a minor oil leak from back of the engine slowly dripping down on to sump have to fill oil every month or so , any ideas what it could be?

[@jeansilva-xj1yp]

Thank you for this video. In your opinion, is it hard to change the timing belt and the water pump on this model? Is it possible to have a video? Thanks regard

[@user-mv5ns2bt1u]

Thank you, very helpful video. Got the same car with same engine.

[@abaaba110]

Great video, didn't even know there was pollen filter (mine was worse than yours when I checked it today) a list of the tools needed would have been good though. Will defo try to do it myself next time after watching this video like 100 times lol

[@glasgowlocks4041]

superb video and cant thank you enough i know its an old post but im very impressed with your explanations on how to do these jobs many thanks

[@robertwalsh9617]

Hey love your videos but you could tell me what the pipe coming from the intake to the exhaust manifold do the one on my car is all cracked and broken help please

[@SteraLizeHD]

Hey! I have a 1.4 16v golf mk4 too and every time I'm at 50 - 60 mph specifically and let of the acceleration there seems to be a fairly noticeable knocking from the front left wheel/side. Any thoughts or ideas as to what may be wrong? Thanks

[@joemorgan117]

Great video mate. Don't think I'll attempt the fuel filter but the engine & pollen filter I can handle ;)

[@kieranosullivan9794]

Did the service all thanks to your vid,but the red oil light flashes now when it gets warm,oil is a the right level any help ??

[@ericamponsah1333]

[@AS3KN]

Perfectly made video mate

[@BMACVAGS]

Thank you for taking the time to comment, have you subscribed??

[@chutneyboy1]

Another great video. Thanks bro

[@Maartenvdlinde013]

Great video! Thx man! :) I got a polo 6n2 but i think its almost the same steps!

[@rickstrodder129]

I have a problem with my 2003, 1.6 SR Golf Generation (Australia). It's started to over heat. The temp gage will sit on normal for a long time, then raise rapidly til alarms sound, then, decrease rapidly.. too rapidly it would appear, for coolants to have actually cooled down that quickly. This happens very soon after returning on the Air con. Anything you may have to say about this would be awesome. Thanks so much... AGAIN. BTW, this was happening before I changed the oil and filter and air filters. onyer

[@krzysiekv12]

Very nice video :) just pointing out the pollen filter looked like activated carbon version, which is greyish looking even when new as opposed to the basic paper one. Still recommend to replace once a year no matter what version you use.

[@cwuzii]

Great video as always :D Is that your car or a customers car? If it's yours, could you do a sideskirt video? If not, will you have one coming up soon?

[@hansmestdagh8063]

Thx! This will surely help me a lot!!

[@moinahmed001]

Hey Man, I been watching your all your videos. Good work your doing there! I wanted to ask, I noticed in some other videos they change they also change the oil drain plug. Would I have to do this on my Golf mk5 TDI? Also I dont have specific measurement wrench, just those usual wrench. How would I know when to stop for 30nm when tightening it? Thanks in advance

[@BMACVAGS]

Yes changing the sump plug is the best way, the only way to know the correct tightness is to get a torque wrench. It is a good investment if you intend on looking after your car and will avoid mistakes using this tool.

[@TheShadowVortX]

Thanks for putting this video up :)

[@Vaughany4128]

Please could you help me? And tell me where I would find the crankshaft sensor on my 1.4 16v golf?

[@BMACVAGS]

No problem, glad I could help

[@unrealistu]

how I cand loosen-up the serpentine belt on this 1.4 in order to change the belt? thanks,

[@Jammy2Sugars]

Another excellent video

[@simondrake3113]

Great video helped me a lot thanks.

[@davidbayappel]

Very useful advice - thank you

[@TheSonyjoseph]

what a funtastic video . excellent.

[@megaspicywings]

Hi there, Iv been seeing your videos for a while. I'm having problems with my mk5 golf 2004 1.4s that I recently purchased with 136k on the clock I had my a full services, full timing belt kit change. And oil pressure switch changed I keep constantly having a red oli pressure light every morning. After driving for 20mins the red oil light turns it self off And through the whole day it won't flash on again. Until the next morning. Also my engine makes a funny tapping/clicking noise when I start off in the morning and when I have my foot to the pedal the noise gets louder and after 20mins the engine warmed up. The noise totally goes and the engine sounds perfectly fine, like nothing has ever happen.. Hope you can help. Edward

[@itudor]

I would love to find a similar tutorial for the timing belt.

[@CONDLAUR]

5:20 Keep the oil cap on during any operations involving screws or little pieces that could end up inside the engine.

[@kaslogan5597]

Actually very good advice... People don't realise the DAMAGE it can do having a screw in there lol... Oh my just imagine it tho haha

[@jhd92]

Out of curiosity, why can't you extract from the dipstick on this car?

[@JChow-sw1yb]

excellent video, nice one! gonna have a crack at this. I've used 5w-30 semi synthetic to top up before but noticed you used 5w-40 is this what you recommend? and is it fully synthetic? many thanks.

[@umarsaleem3242]

Yes same question 5w30 or 5w40?

[@PhatstuffVlogs]

Amazing video really really good stuff Mthanks ive subscribec

[@csokatu77]

very usefull,thanks from Germany

[@brooksHARRY]

Great video it really helped!

[@TheMrKaspa]

can i ask you where does the rubber hose from the air filter go? the hose that you disconnect at 7:43

[@easternbluebird9371]

How can I change the fuel filter? It needs to be changed the same time as all the others?

[@joziemoothai1601]

Great staff BMAC VAGS, can you please help with changing filters for MK1 VW citi golf..1.4 engine, fuel injector..!

[@rocktron]

NICE VID BRO!!!

[@dx69suckit]

Hi BMAC! Any chance you could do a vid on the same model vehicle showing... how to silicone in the gasket? As some will know, not all models have an actual 'compound' gasket that you just drop on and then screw back the cover. Mine is exactly the same as the one you've worked on in this quality vid and I for one would LOVE to see how that's done... many thanks in advance and keep up the good work fella :D

[@jackbauer586]

[@faizankut]

[@tej91]

Where can I find the crankshaft sensor on a vw golf mk4 1.4?

[@Sleepless3]

got the same engine, changed the spark plugs withou removing the cover. just to let everyone else know its doable but it looks to be easier to get the plugs out this way.

[@gilbertotaveira]

Great video and good work! Can you inform how much this car in your country? I'm from Brazil and I'd like to import one from EUA! Tks.

[@ondrejtomek3855]

[@elintra]

Very nicely narrated.

[@BMACVAGS]

Thank you for your comment.

[@elintra]

I have the same car (2003 SE MK4 petrol) and because of your video I was able to change the cabin air filter, can I also suggest something. I don't know if you recommend oil catch cans but if I was to attach one how would I do it? Please help!
