Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video. We have a great tutorial on the Fuel Filter replacement on the Passat TDI, not sure if that is what you watched. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3WumWiam7B9iK8 Cheers!

Quick tips, loosen the oil filter all the way but do not remove it before draining oil to allow the oil to drain out of the filter housing so it gets drained while doing your oil change. Also remove the T45 bolts after the T25 screws so you dont have the hold up the belly pan. And the correct torque spex for the oil filter is 25 +or- 5nm which is 14.7 to 22.1 ft lbs. Technically 11 is low but shouldnt cause an issue.

Thanks for the tips Bryce, great suggestions on the under tray. Appreciate the correction on the oil filter housing as well, it should be at 18 ft. lbs. not 11. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!

My brother has a 2014 Passat and has 301,000 miles on it. He changes the oil every 3000mi. He uses Castrol oil only.

There's a lot of vids showing how. It's pretty easy to do but the led's will be really really bright.

So I had a question I hope you or someone could answer, I just replaced my air filter on my 13' Passat tdi and found some dust or more likely dirt/sand from dirt roads built up in the crevices of the air filter housing. Not much but more than I've noticed before. Is this normal? Should I have changed the filter more regularly? Is it necessary to clean the housing between changes? I usually do it by season so I just took out my "winter" filter and replaced it with my "summer" filter.
@BradleysGarage22 күн бұрын
Thanks for the question, that sounds completely normal to see. The air filter should be good for 60k miles under normal driving conditions. The cabin filter can be replaced every 12k miles or annually if you prefer. Good luck on your VW project. Cheers!

Hey Daniel, we will look into that upgrade. We know it is more straight forward on the 2016+ models but we'll take a look. Thanks again for the suggestion, Cheers!

What oil interval do you recommend? I've been doing mine at 9k but it seems like it's too long of an interval.
@BradleysGarage10 ай бұрын
Thanks for the question. We have been following the manufacturer recommended intervals which are 10k for oil, 20k for fuel filter and 40k for the DSG filter and fluid. We are using Torco SR-1 5W-30 for our oil changes. We use the OEM VW parts for the Fuel Filter and DSG trans service. We will posting the fast method for the DSG trans service to the channel in the coming weeks so stay tuned for that. Here's the link to the Fuel Filter video in case you missed it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3WumWiam7B9iK8 Good luck on your future VW projects, Cheers!
