[@greg55678]

[@tombrazier4755]

Please change that oil pressure control valve you cleaned. They are so prone to fail, oil pressure gets stuck in low pressure and boom.

[@tomn.1568]

Yep, TPIs out there for this one. Should actually leave the new one unplugged, then it will run at the higher oil pressure all the time. Never mind those 0,0001 grams of extra CO2.

[@ahyaan2552]

@@tomn.1568would that require tuning/coding or just work even unplugged?

[@tomn.1568]

It does work unplugged, but will throw a MIL. So coding would be better.

[@tombrazier4755]

Yeah I’ve seen people replace the valve with a new one and leave the old one plugged in and cable tied out the way so you don’t get a code .

Reusing the oil control valve after using £13.000 on a new engine is insane

[@6nikolas6]

😆😆😆It cost approx. 130€. However, there is also an oil pressure sensor in the engine which measures the oil pressure accurately and indicates an error if it is not correct

[@alancobbin]

You made the correct decision with a new Crate Motor,Something tells me that car was flying when the engine seized,I’ve never seen a bent crank before,cheers Dean 👍

[@HQBProductions]

Dean….I wonder why you don’t have an ultrasonic parts cleaner? It is such a help and a friend who owns a motorcycle repair garage finds it invaluable even using it to clean customer parts that they bring in which adds income. Parts look brand new afterwards.🤔🙂🙂🙂

[@NoobGamePlusGOW]

Actually that Oil Pressure Control Valve could be very well the reason why engine was destroyed, it is a common failure point on these engines and you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD'VE GOTTEN A NEW ONE!!

[@Zenithh]

Yeah you are absolutely right

[@digidandan]

the reason is city drive,using low revs and longlife oil interval

All that carbon is a good reason to blank the egr, Engines especially diesel really don't need to be ingesting their own fumes. But good job Dean.

[@AI-Records24]

Yep totally agree I do it with every diesel along with “race” DPF and swirl delete clean the whole manifold out same time they run so much better more power lower IATs more reliability. F the government and eu regulations, why should they decide what we have to have.

as ever, excellent work. I had a new 3.0 tdi put in my amarok under warranty (well a warranty warranty claim after they blew the engine up changing the cams). I think it was a 20k+ claim in the end on a vw extended warranty that had a claim limit of 2.5k +VAT that I was completely unaware of!

New injectors, a re-built Turbo, and new water pump would have been nice for the New Engine

[@SavingSalvage]

So is that the philosophy of, I’ve spent £13k… might as well spend another £4k 🤣.. but I did fit a new waterpump.

[@jamespearce4582]

Would have been nice to have fitted a new body, Interior and chassis too 😂😂

If the bearings were good on the turbo and the water pump was basically new, why spend the money.

Replace the oil pressure sensors aswell mate, if anything for piece of mind.

[@wynhughes9072]

cars in the 60s snd 70s used to have decokes at around 60k miles. Thought this was a thing of the past. But if you watch Vag technic YT channel they are doing carbon clean on Audi's with have covered less than 50k miles. All to do with emisions and low oil pressure settings apparently. Do like these videos. Keep up the good work Dean👍

@ me too, my choice of wording wasn’t the best really and I didn’t mean to insinuate he should try turn it into MA or Chris slix or anything like that. All I meant is a good partner who can 1) help him with some of the heavy lifting like putting an engine in by himself towing cars around the yard and in the background ordering parts and mundane tasks that don’t make it to the channel but are necessary for it to operate, pick up some slack for him so he doesn’t burnout and can do even more whilst focusing on what matters like ideas and making sure the videos are the most interesting they can be and 2) add a sort of brotherly vibe someone to brainstorm with laugh with celebrate with etc purely natural though not to force rubbish jokes or anything like that.

I really hope you actually cleaned all the oil lines you swapped over and removed all debris from the turbo oil feed lines.

[@SavingSalvage]

There are no feed lines for the turbo, it bolts straight on the head via a little flange which I cleaned. The oil cooler is the only other external oil gallery which I replaced for a new one (also bolts straight onto the block)

[@mirayanomi]

​@@SavingSalvageYou shouldve replaced the oil pressure control valve, prone to failure on these tdis

[@Dave-wz8nv]

Genuine question as I dont know. How do you know that one of the ancillary component such as injectors, egr valve, water pump and housing etc, wasn't the cause of the engine problems. Also, would the turbo have had metal particles circulating around the bearing. Great channel as ever.

[@caprimen]

Great video Dean - why not do an egr valve delete? Or reduce exhaust gas thats let in to the egr to the absolute minimum eg 5mm hole through blanking plate.

That is some amount of work even after you have bought the new engine Dean. Great content unraveling the complexity of modern engines.

[@robertmoss279]

Hi Dean, just thought you’d like to hear this? I recently purchased a VW Caravelle T5.1. I bought it because it had a new engine, new gear box and two new turbos. Should be good to go, yes? Afraid not, another £1800 had to be spent on injection system, crank case breather and more. The workshop that replaced engine, gear box and turbos must have dressed it up with crap. Any way as I’ve just explained after said work carried out, my van is now running sweet as a nut, but it was a trial.

[@markaldous4031]

The flywheel looked like it flexed as you undid it... maybe slightly bent. Very surprised you got the torque converter bolts undone. Great video as usual.
