I've bought a 100mm one for my golf 5 1.9tdi pd. Car's on 106000 miles now. I'm starting to hear a rattle sound from the bottom of the engine. Funny enough near the footwell where the oil pump is. I didn't know that the turbo might blow because of the lack of oil pressure!?? Shoot better get the job done hadn't I!! :/

[@jemmace2586]

Is threebond rtv any good to use as a sealer on the oil pan to finish the job?? Thanks for the videos by the way. Priceless!! 👍

@@diydaly I'm told it's a hex balance Shaft type, but unsure tbh. If it is and it's the 77mm not the 100mm, I'll scribe the line of the difference between the two and angle grinder the new one to fit, but I won't know anything until i take the sump off and have a look. Thanks for your replies. 👍

[@kieranmcgarrigle269]

Thanks, Great video perfect for amateur mechanics like myself!....One thing I found is that access to the 2 hidden sump bolts at the gearbox were not as easy to get as in in your video. They were also very tight and not moving with the 5mm allen key. I have discovered that there are 2 dimpled areas in the flywheel and by cranking the engine (clockwise only) at the crankcase bolt, you can line one of these up with the access channel to the 2 bolts. This will allow access with a 10mm swivel socket to remove these bolts. Hopefully this will save someone a lot of pain if they ring the 5mm ball end allen of the bolt like I did!

[@diydaly]

Thanks for the comment! To be honest I’ve never come across that before! They are fiddly but with then snap on ball end Allen keys I’ve always got them out .. handy to know that though, I’ll have a look for them cut outs out the flywheel next time 👍👍 learn sumet new everyday! 😀👌

I’ve replaced 6 shafts now and replaced the pump and shaft together on one car.. my own was done at 130,000 mile and I’m currently on 165,000.. another one was done at 135,000 and I know it’s currenty at around 200,000 area with no issues so personally I’d just replace the shaft if it’s only just started to take the edges , if it’s fully rounded I’d fit a new pump & shaft 👍

[@iPhoneTaxa]

@@diydaly so just replace the pump/shaft part not the actual housing with all the gearing in (the part you didn’t take off). You have links to both eBay and Eurocarparts for pump does the eurocarparts one include the shaft like the eBay one? Thanks

[@diydaly]

Yeah that’s it 👍 . The euro car parts pump doesn’t come with the shaft and they don’t list it so it would need to be bought from ebay or the Audi dealer , because they are a common issue a lot of people of Ebay tend to sell them together

The content , information and clear filming are excellent in your video.. However, the 'background' music you have chosen, added at a similar volume to your voice-over, is really distracting and most of the time I am struggling to actually hear your important commentary..It seems such a shame when your overall video, filmed so well and containing such useful and clear instructions is lost , due to adding music.. If you increased the volume of your voice and did not have any music at all, then your video would be absolutely amazing in its entirety, in my opinion, and you would be getting far more 'likes' via You Tube viewers..

You could pop to a garage and ask them to degass it first , then pop to them for a regas after.. I wouldn’t recommend it but you could empty the system by removing the caps on the fill points and pressing the centre of the valve in , it’s advisable to do it in a open area

Hi Oliver the only real way to check without removing it is by feel With a new shaft .. to check if there’s any free play.. normally the condition of the old shaft will give you a good idea though 👍

Hi! Sorry to hear you have the dreaded shaft issue! It just depends when you get it stripped , they don’t normally wear the balance shafts but you will have to see how bad it is , it’s it’s fairly well worn id advise replacing the pump aswell as the shaft.. as yours is a different engine code it may be more involved to strip..

Hi mate , like you say first thing is to check the actual oil pressure.. there fairly strait forward . Aslong as the shaft is in it should be pumping .. did you change the pump too? Have you checked the wiring to the pressure sensor? Is it saying oil pressure on the display? Just wondering if you’ve disturbed the level sensor in the sump and the fault is relating to that..?

Thanks for the comment , much appreciated 👍👌 yeah it say its well worth changing the drive , its piece of mind then 😀

[@robinandrewesteras7022]

@@diydaly yeah, I’d have to do in a workshop, since my mechanical skills are somehow limited. So I would guess it would take a mechanic about 5-6 hours to change it? And the part it self cost about 1800 NOK,. I am really considering it since it will give me piece of mind for at least the next 100 000km ( I hope).Do you have any sites where you order your parts?

[@diydaly]

Id say you should be looking around 3-5 hours area, there not too bad to do but most garages would quote at least 4 hours min.. I normally use "car parts for less" or eBay, by id recommend fitting a genuine OE part, ive put some lincs in the description of the video to some of the parts mate 👍

What sort of money does this full job cost. Got a 57 a4 with oil pressure issues

[@diydaly]

It will massively carry depending on labour rates etc but I’d say you could expect to pay anywhere from £300 - £500 for the drive replaced , a lot of places will want to fit a pump at the same time

[@niffty1510]

Hi, is there a noise when the hex key starts to round off? I have a 2012 Passat TDI that has a rattle on startup, it sounds like a timing chain rattle as the noise is in the bottom of the engine but there is no timing chain(according to VW dealers going by my VIN number it’s gear not chain). It only rattles for a couple of seconds when starting. Thanks. Note the vehicle has only just done over 100,000km Any feedback would be appreciated.

[@diydaly]

Hi you would get a noise as such .. the first indication would be the oil pressure light coming on. From my experience Generally the keyway needs replacing around the 120,000 mile area. Nothing springs to mind for a rattle in that area but it’s hard to say with out looking obviously 👍

[@niffty1510]

Thanks, appreciate the reply. I have not had any oil light as such yet, so baffling what the noise is. Had a workshop take a listen, they put on a hoist and sounds like noise coming from the bottom. Booked in this Thursday for further investigation. 🤞

[@niffty1510]

Actually one more thing, do you know how long it should take to remove & replace the sump on a 2012 Passat 2.0 litre TDI. Thanks

[@diydaly]

👌👍 hopefully they can find out what it is .. I’ll let you know about the sump shortly

[@diydaly]

@@niffty1510 I couldn't seem to find the book time, im fairly sure the sump is quite accessible & would say about 1 - 1.5 hours.. im sure the subframe doesn't have to be dropped on the passats but would like to say for sure

[@diydaly]

Thanks Vincent! If only replacing the shaft drive they are only about £10ish with a clip , the oil pumps are anywhere from £50-£100ish depending on brand .. labour wise you’d be looking at 4-5 hours .. thanks

Id say most garages would charge around 4 hours labour plus the parts.. some may want to fit the actual oil pump at the same time & you may have to pay a fee to have to a/c degassed / regassed.. Depending on the garage and wether or not they replace the oil pump id guess it may vary from around £250-£500
