What's the point of this channel if all parts at Shop Dap come with the free Paul install option?

Some of DIY, home mechanics have lifts too!! Literally a game changer.

Thank you for such an amazing video! Very engaging, and answered all questions I had about doing this job on my own!

[@VteC32]

Very Good Video was about doing that on my Octavia 3 RS. Good Job Paul.

Just installed my steel oil pan and mistakenly stripped the thread on the block, thankfully the area messed up at has a hole above to allow me to use the longer OEM bolt and a nut on top to finish the job. Another problem was i over torqued another bolt, so far no leaking and was not stripped. I incorrectly calculated the 8nm to torque. last problem was in his older video, he called the torque spec for the oil sensor nuts at 9nm. Again I messed up and over tightened them and potentially stripped the thread. What I learned from this is don't buy a torque wrench from harbor freight, and don't use that torque wrench for serious work. Other than my problems, all other bolts were tightened to spec, the steel pan is on, it looks great, and no leaks! I definitely would do this again!

I definitely need the metal pan. Still have 3-4k miles of life on my current oil change so I’m going to wait until then to order. Stupid composite pans leak so bad. I have a new long block from Audi and it leaks oil immediately lol!

[@cheknocksya]

Thank you for making this video.

[@timsutter6192]

Correction Paul, seal for oil sensor is 8bucks. I'd have paid 10 just to have it in the kit. Now I have to order one... buzz kill

[@chairmankaga101]

For the love of all that's holy, get yourself an inch pound torque wrench if you're working on your engine. It's so easy to strip aluminum and the next thing you know you're messing with helicoils. Save yourself the hassle and get the right tool for the job.

[@gabrieldetwiler7078]

Gonna prob have to do this on my mk7 gli. Unfortunately it keeps seeping a slight bit and is getting a tad bit worse

[@giodc8599]

Seems like what i am experiencing now on a Octavia Wagon VRS, with a EA888 Gen 3. I got a pretty wet sump and a drop every now and then. Not sure how i wanna tackle this. I guess new pan?

[@capax1559]

I just found out mine is leaking, not a huge leak because the oil level only goes down very little each time i drive it. Getting the car to a shop in 3 days. Not driving the car much before that.

[@game4alaughman]

Major problem question. After I took pan off 2015 Octavia 2.0 tdi the black plastic under tray keeps falling down & can’t get it to stick back up… noticed your undertray but why didn’t you mention it

[@MJsonniedee]

How much would your shop charge for this service vs a dealership?

[@IvanDeaquino-e4y]

Prob like 1-3k labor for this is crazy for German cars

[@iliketorockrock]

Is the Paul install option still avalible?

[@7412507818]

how long do yall think it will take to ship since its on backorder???

[@CNHMJN]

Do MK8 spark plugs require dielectric grease?

[@sameftek9799]

Does that locking funnel have an adapter for the EA888.G4?

[@shopdapdiy]

Yes it comes with 3 adapters, and one is for the new MK8 engines

[@petetasker8599]

Is the capacity of the metal sump the same as the plastic one?

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

It's a little more, not by much.

[@YourFavouriteComment]

Stretch bolts on an oil pan with just 8Nm? Only on a VW 😅

[@skltfz4997]

not to scare but u should scare lol

[@joewontwice]

What does it mean then the bottom of the oil pan is grey

[@Caver82]

Could be lots of metal shavings… please correct if I’m wrong

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

That depends. If it's an aluminum pan, that's normal. If it's a composite pan, that *could* mean it's starting to degrade - maybe. If it's steel, the paint came off, but it hasn't rusted yet. Or, it was painted. Edit: you mean the inside? That's not good. If you're using oil additives, stop using them. Take a sample and get it analyzed. Change more frequently and see if it clears up, and sample again.

[@joewontwice]

@jameshaulenbeek5931 yes I've been using m0s2 and ceratec

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

@@joewontwice that is why. The oil doesn't need extra stuff added to it. Those additives, at best, will only make you spend more money. At worst, they'll accelerate engine wear as they'll counteract some of the oil additive package.

[@joewontwice]

Can you replace my upper oil pan 😂

[@stephanpieterse6960]

Bye meow

Replacing Gasket with Silicone Sealant: if using Silicone Sealant is such a scary dangerous to your engine option why not replace the cardboard gasket with original OEM gasket? 🤷🏽‍♂️
