VW B5.5 Passat Valve Cover Gasket Replacement V6 2.8L Engine

[@hanzomaz11]

Hello my friend Idk how to thank you for all these videos, I've already bought a V6 Passat 2002 and I've had to struggle with some issues, most of them had been explained and solved thanks to you, I don't know which is the OE OEM number of the valve gasket , do you know where I can find it? send you greetings from Chile and strong hug to you master!

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Much respect, I'm happy you found my videos helpful! Gasket link is in the description.

[@USGolfer]

Another good video. I'd suggest you talk a little more for instance about tools you use to ensure correct gasket placement. Well done!

[@tk_jackyy1437]

What brand of gasket are you using?

[@zmykk]

Great channel bro.keep it up. Love the diy’s on the b5.5. I have a 04 glx 4 motion sedan on air ride.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Much respect! I definitely got a lot more to show. Yea, mine is a glx 4motion wagon. These cars were designed ahead of their time, they still have a lot of features that some newer cars these days don't have.

Your a beast man! Make everything look so easy ‼️ keep up the great work brother ! Do you have a discord account or something to get ahold of you for a question? My car was running fine a couple days ago, woke up the next day and didn’t want to turn over… no clicks just a really slow short turn then nothing 🤦‍♂️

[@Cashr05]

If it’s a b5 Passat check the CCM ( comfort control module) fuses

[@secret_ham]

Great video man. Were your gaskets leaky before you did this? Been looking to do this because I know mine are and I'm also chasing a slow oil leak and wondering if this could be where most of it is going. Oil tends to fall onto the manifold shields and burn off.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yes, my gasket was leaking. You might want to check the PCV, if it's bad it might cause the valve cover gasket to leak.

[@secret_ham]

@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds After I watched this I saw your PCV video, thanks for the tip

[@OlafBathoorn]

@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds True, valve cover leakage, camshaftseal, half moon seal leakages are mainly caused by a bad functioning or clogged PCV system. Always check and repair the PCV system first.

[@secret_ham]

@@OlafBathoorn Replaced the PCV, unfortunately didn't stop the leak. Probably going to try this next. Luckily both are not terribly expensive to do.

[@OlafBathoorn]

@@secret_ham yes, first fix your pcv system be sure it's functioning ok, then you can go on to do the valve cover or other seals

[@MarinaHernandez-w4e]

I love it, looks so easy, but I know is a lot of work. God bless for sharing.😇

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yes, thank you👍🏽

[@laurierlaroche-morin9544]

Hey man great video thanks ! One question, what is RTV and what is it's fonction ?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

It's a silicone like glue, it's to help to create a proper seal and prevent the oil from leaking out.

[@that1skaterpaully432]

hey, can a bad vvt cause that cam chain to start making a ticking/knocking sound under the valve cover

[@Ramz_Uncut]

Good video, how about the other side?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

the other side is pretty much the same process.

[@maiko7772]

hey brother .great video.thank you for that .. can you post a link to where you bought the gaskets please?

[@maiko7772]

i did it ,, the driver side tho ... what a pain ,, the hoses from the cooling tank in the way of the bottom nuts ,, was a bit scetchy but thank you for your video

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Much respect, I'm happy you were able follow the video and do the replacement.

[@maiko7772]

@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds thank you man ..

Low compression on cylinder 2/3 of my Audi b5 2.8. Also a misfire on 2/3. Compression is reading 20 on 2/3. I’m thinking this is my issue?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Nah, a damage valve cover gasket wouldn't cause low compression in the cylinder.

Гнет ли клапана ? При тбрыве ремня грм

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yes, they will bend if the belt breaks while the engine is running.

[@thelastmojican4480]

Awesome ...

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Thanks!
