How to Replace an Oil Pan (Volkswagen 2.0T)

In this video we show the complete removal and replacement of an oil pan on a Volkswagen MK6 GTI. This DIY will apply to many VW's with the 2.0T TSI Gen 1 engine. Whether you're replacing a cracked oil pan, or your drain plug threads are stripped, our replacement oil pans and install kits have everything you need to get back on the road.

i love how he went from replacing oilpans to making a turbo miata

Not going to lie, if there is a part where torque specs dont matter for shit, its a oil pan... The seal alone can almost hold it on there, and they wont back out cause the sealant is in the threads... Just get them hand tight with a small wrench, and honestly, thats good... As for the pattern you do it in, i would try to do the ones across from each other, and as long as you dont do it around i na circle, i think its fine...

only dude in these ECS vids that doesn't seem totally fake, mega thumbs up! might need a new oil pan on my MKV so this was a major helping hand

[reqhart]

Great simple video, mostly came looking for information on the bolt pattern and the included picture was a major help. Thank you.

why not use a Fel-Pro OS 30821 gasket instead of RTV?

Saw a video where the black paint from inside a new oil pan came off and clogged up the oil pickup tube and ruined the Guy's engine

I knew he looked familiar! Just didnt seem like the right channel

Did this on my 2.0 tiguan. Almost missed the part of letting the seal sit for an hour before adding oil 😂. Thankfully I rewatched. Thank you!

Will this be the same process for a 2014 VW Jetta SE with the 1.8T?

Always wear appropriate eye protection while doing these jobs.

Thanks Guys for your efforts doing these vid's! My son and I are on the hunt to buy a GTI so we are doing our studies. With all the cool ECS stuff I see, we will need to extend the budget ;) Wish us Luck!

Came here to try and fix the wife’s car. Got hit with a mental flash bang when Zach was the one doing it.

I'd pay this guy any day of the week to work on my VW as long as I could be his assistant. 😄

Is it worth spending twice as much on an oem lower oil pan vs aftermarket ( atp brand) on a 2012 wagon?
