Pro-Tip for anyone replacing their own water pump on these engines: After pump installation is complete, run a bead of RTV along the top edge of the pump where it mates to the block. The bead of RTV will act as a barrier to prevent any potential oil from leaking into the oil pump seals and eventually causing water pump seal failure. Regular RTV is very resistant to gas and oil, so it works great to property those water pump seals.

[@markb3756]

Such a great tip!

[@MrSonicAdvance]

What is RTV?

[@largesquids]

@@MrSonicAdvanceit essentially is a gasket maker/sealant.

[@dallasnichols3924]

[@dallasnichols3924]

Thank you for this video. I did the work to remove the manufold and inspect the water pump and lo and behold there was the blowout in the exact spot you pointed out. Along with a healthy amount of sludge caked around. Appreciate videos like this!

[@robertdavis5714]

Knew about water pump and cracking, but, now I know how this takes place, nice to know you can get a water pump that is not plastic.

[@nothing2seehere.goaway]

Same thing that happened to my 2010 GTI (62k miles) around a year ago. Never saw the car leaking or burning oil so I imagine it slooooowly leaked out over the years. First mechanical failure That car had in 8 years of ownership (knocks hard on wood).

[@MW3Jayswoop09]

SteadyAimRay Same lmfao, i think all these engines will have to have that valve cover seal replaced, if you think about it all it takes is a mechanic or person attempting to heavy clean the gap where the sealant is slowly eating away as more is forced out. I just leave all the dust bits in there dont evn touch it lol

[@jernigan007]

same same same. slow leak for years. finally killed the water pump. 47k

[@kajlac]

Interesting! My water pump died and when the mechanic replaced it, he noticed the oil leak. I still haven’t fixed it but this might be the reason why the pump died initially.

[@CrackBerryAddict]

My 2013 Beetle 2.0 TSI also had oil seeping from the valve cover gasket. It would have cost $900+ at the dealership to have it replaced. Thankfully, it was covered under an extended warranty that I purchased with the car.

[@LastHumansGarage]

so could you maybe save the water pump if you check the front edge of that valve cover gasket every few weeks, and wipe it clean? tons of VW gaskets seep normally in my opinion.

[@antonzhloba6929]

Paul, this was very helpful! Thank you! If my valve covers been slightly leaking for about a year, what are the chances that I already need my water pump to be replaced? How reliable are these aluminum water pumps in a long run (60K miles+)?

[@thedubdoctor]

Vw and Audi no longer use this anaerobic sealant to seal up the camshaft girdles. They moved to the Loctite branded black RTV sealant to seal up their timing covers and can girdles . Guess they learned their lesson that the sealant they were using doesn’t actually work.

[@robertficek7586]

Im looking to reseal a 3.2 with the same issue but it just gets messy the longer you let it leak. I dont believe RTV will work on the cam girdle since you need zero clearance flange sealant. But if there is a better sealer then VW green slime mystery blend no spec D154103A1 please post it. Im debating between elring afd 2018 or loctite 515 vs 574 which Porsche specs.

[@thedubdoctor]

Robert F we use the Loctite SI 5970 that is what Audi and I believe VW now as well is using to seal up most of the engine . Apply 2mm thick layer within the provided channel and you should have no issues. I have sealed up many many cam girdles and timing covers with this gasket maker with no comebacks!!!

Maybe just like a stage 1.

[@antigravity6]

Almost all the Audi TSFI 2.0t has this oil leak problem. There s a recall for Water Pump but Audi should recall the oil leak which is the main cause for the bad water pump.

QUESTION: repair or replace? i have a 2010 A5 B8, only 50k miles. kelly blue book $11k. turbo, timing chain and tensioner replaced, spark plug coils updated, pcv replaced. passes emissions, no leaks, 36 mpg highway. driven gently. tax is $200/yr. insurance is $600/yr. i like the car. obviously, if i get a new a5 then taxes and insurance will more than double. and a car payment would be near $1000/month. but if keep the car, and swap out the intake manifold, injectors, and water pump (all know to eventually fail) then the insurance and taxes will continue to go lower. how much to repair/replace known problems? note, if the the piston rings break>excessive oil consumption>tail pipe smoke>damaged catalytic converter..... i get rid of the car!!! no way i will pay for a rebuilt engine. when/mileage do B8 engine piston rings (or other internal engine components) fail ?

[@pawetruszczynski1435]

Guys. Mayby you give advise or exolenation for me. Im owning a Tiguan 2.0tsi 180 ps 2012 is it possible to drain the collant without any special device. I have seen some preasure kit device to connect to compressor to basically drain the coolant. My question is can I drain coolan on a traditional way by disconnecting a Water pipe from radiator, drain coolant and than clean the whole system by water and than put the fresh G12 coolant back, set inside temp on hig start the engine and the cooling system will self bleed? I saw than in modern VW engine you have to use a special kit for draining coolan and bleeding the system. Thanks. In advance

I have a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T fsi turbo. It wouldn’t start so I replaced the high pressure fuel pump and the in tank fuel pump. I eventually got it to start. It starts right up and idles fine, but when you give it gas it’s all choppy and not the correct rpm it should be at. I have a engine code, it’s P2294, so that means that there’s a problem with my fuel pressure regulator attached to my high pressure fuel pump, but the regulator is brand new so I don’t know what to do

Also had Mk3's and Mk4's... and that's probably why I quitted from VW's. LOL. Now, seeing how good the new Mk7s are performing, I feel safer going back. My budget doesn't reach for a Mk7, but could you please talk about the differences between the engines in the Mk5/6/7 !? From what I've read so far, Mk6s are no good for building power. Could you elaborate? Should I go Mk5 or Mk6? Mk5s are CHEAP nowadays! Just want a good daily driver and achieving around 350hp would be perfect. Keep the videos coming! Thanks!

[@pospc2]

I will be completely honest here... I installed an aluminum water pump on my CBFA gti. Yes i have a check engine light but honestly don't care. Thats the only noticable difference i have. Also i have a valve cover leak and have for as long as the new pump has been on. I am waiting it out to see how long it really takes to blow the gasket out of the water pump. Simply because this isn't my own car. I got it cheap,i do my own work and i want to know how long it really takes. So far about 1 year and still going strong.

All? I've heard all the differences are between the engine codes is emissions

[@apexseal2811]

+Daniel Hmm, really? I am not sure if it this is the only differences between these engines, but some do vary just because of different emission levels, and at the end this affects performance in some way. I have heard there are minor mechanical or ECU mapping variations between engine codes as variable valve lift, different metal alloys for some components, plastic tubing, etc. Here are some examples: CPSA - 155 kW (211 hp) at 5,000-6,200 rpm, 221 ft lb (300Nm) at 1,800-4,900 rpm (Audi Q3) CCZB - 155 kW (211 hp) at 5,300-6,200 rpm, 207 ft lb (280Nm) at 1,700-5,200 rpm. CAEA/CAEB/CDNC - 155 kW (211 hp) at 4,300-6,000 rpm, 260 ft lb (350Nm) at 1,500-4,200 rpm All have same power but different Torque figures. Anyway, each time I try to investigate the differences and specific models these engines are equipped in, I end up getting even more confused. Too many different codes but no clear differentiation between all of them.

@@apexseal2811 yea and where's CBFA and CCTA in that list? Maybe shopDAP should make a video on 2.0T engine codes? 🤔

[@apexseal2811]

+Daniel Yes. CCTA/CBFA - 147 kW (200 hp) at 5,100-6,000 rpm, 207 ft lb (280Nm) at 1,800-5,000 rpm. Application: VW Golf Mk5 GTI (for US market only), VW Golf Mk6 GTI (for US market only), Audi Q3 (for US market only), VW Jetta Mk5/Mk6, VW Passat B6, VW CC, Audi A3 (8P). Here in South America we have the 2.0 TSI/ TFSI 211PS engine in the EA888 Gen 2 and if I am not mistaken this was the only powertrain for our market. Many people with whom I have spoken told me both the Audis and VW had oil consumption problems, which is a specific problem of the second EA888 generation, other than the famous failing chain tensioners. Models affected were the Audi A3, A4 B8, A5 2.0TFSI until 2012.5 and Volkswagen Vento/ Jetta MK6 (or Jetta GLI), Passat B8, Tiguan and probably missing many others. It would be really, really helpful if DAP makes a video explaining in detail the main differences between these huge amount of engine codes, and most common issues for each variation.

I have driven my 2011 gti for 3.5 years and did the water pump for the same issue. didn't remove the intake manifold only the throttle body (F@#$ing C%$T), and just bought a 2001 allroad… fingers crossed! LOL! if one is down I can drive the other and fix it... got my own loaner program.

[@klutzycarlover]

Lol, have fun with that allroad. Plan on tons of preventative maintenance. I have one myself, and I'm buying a mk5 today as a daily, ha.

[@DaveOnkels]

The Allroad will empty your wallet and break your heart. I have a 2003 2.7t.

Nice shirt!

[@gorangasic788]

Water pump is covered by warranty they have a recall if your vehicle is nine years old or younger , check with your dealership

[@TolandTheShattered]

Just busted my ass replacing that stupid plastic water pump with a aluminum one

All the B8+ Audi design tend to rarely last more than 200k! The older designs were more reliable long term.

This is why alloy cast parts are better!... German engineering is relying on plastics more and more and reliability will tend to suffer!

[@brazidas58]

Why do German cars always complicate things? They drive nice but dam there high in maintenance. thank God I know a little about them.

Great video thank you so much Mark mangano dependable auto wartburg tennessee

[@MW3Jayswoop09]

Check out my vid on my audi tt 2.0!!! I rescued you could say, i had a similar issue with the oil leaking onto the water pump making it weaken and eventually leak. I recommend the aluminum water pump along with any aluminum coolant flanges you can source out. Main goal, eliminate all plastic in direct contact of the engine head lol all thats left is and IE intake manifold 😎

[@progmanmike]

This guy is some next level trolling

[@liamduffy8057]

Just had this exact thing happen to my 2016 Tiguan at 100k miles. Water pump went after dealership resealed the leaking cam cradle. Dealership has already had to completely reseal the cradle twice and now it’s leaking again!! Nearly 4k in bills in 3k miles…. NEVER BUY A VW

[@GasGunsGod]

Yea like others have said vw has never made a good engine until the 3rd gen motors 2015+ there simply not reliable even with perfect maintenance.

[@milanmazur3400]

wait the 3rd gen get the age of the 1st and 2nd lol

[@jamesclayton4378]

@gauge167 its honestly not that bad man ive driven a 2010 for years and its made me more knowledgeable about engines than ever. U say its not a good motor? Its one if the most efficient and smoothly designed engines that ever came along... theres a reason ive taken it 150k+. Its a turd but its a stout bastard and it still pulls 10 years later

[@thehermanli]

this exact thing happened to a friend of mine, dealership quoted him over 3k here in southern california. rip.

[@joycedavismeeks638]

2,000.00 here at Volkswagen Dealership here in Atlanta, Ga. Yes rip off.

[@MrJIZZYCEE]

lmaooooooo you said limbeee

Get rid of it and get TDI. This is leaking worse than Titanic, my 23 years old Jetta isn't in such awful condition.

The VAG EA-888 is one of the worst engines VW have ever made. VW have totally lost their way over the last decade.

[@jonsmith6496]

Fuck this engine! After thousands put into maintenance, I finally just traded in for a Toyota. Do yourself a favor and never buy a VW!

[@robgill4378]

I keep telling people do not buy a vw if you can't wrench. End of story lol

[@johnhenderson192]

[@dulanawijeratne413]

Why do car manufacturers use plastic crap around an engine hmmmm 🙄

[@autohelix]

Just don't buy a Volkswagen problem solved. I'm against leasing cars normally because I think it's a poor financial decision, but it seems like Volkswagens should only be leased.

[@JeffSpehar-ov1cn]

Oh shut the fuck up St fan boi.

[@frankdaniels4364]

When you buy this crap you need a warranty.
