We are helping out a friend - we did timing belt and water pump. Put it back together after a flush snd fill and a new radiator and on the test drive this little abused Passat blew its “Oil Cooler Outlet To Pipe Coolant Hose - 2004 Volkswagen Passat”. I think it was leaking prior to the water pump failure. It is coated with rusty water stains and it’s bulging like they do when they’re about to burst. Thanks for this real life explanation. It was really nice to see that ‘oh no! It’s leaking where I just changed the hose.’ That’s a good video when it’s this real! Thanks for keeping that in.

My 2000 Audi A6 2.8L was leaking oil. After watching your video, changed the oil cooler gasket - which had a hole in it, and things were better but still leaked oil. HOWEVER, I also watched your video about PCV system blockage causing pressure in the block and forcing oil out of the seals. I changed my PCV valve and confirmed the old one was totally blocked. I changed it for $6 and now NO oil leaks... First time in years. BIG thanks

So what are you saying? An 1000$ oils cooler leak might not even fix the leak??

Good job! Your video helped me. Greetings from Ukraine)

This helped me out so much we just found out the reason off the leaking and I appreciate you giving a thorough explanation

So glad I found this video. Unfortunately for me, my gasket completely blew out on the highway and drained all my oil. Now I have a bad engine knock.

your video is still helping, i have to get a new gasket like that, engine is in a boat

Great video helped alot. You make it look so easy taking the clamps of the coolant lines. Because of no room took me 45mins just to get clamps off.

You just saved me $700!!!!!

Great...CLEAR VIDEO. have to replace oil cooler on 2004 Passat V6 this weekend. I think the cooler is above the oil pan so I'm not planning on draining oil since it was just changed.

drbilldc66 yes, still some will come out but most of it should stay in the oil pan. GL

Just what I needed. Hoping this is the same on my 1996 A4. Has the same engine I think. Developed an oil leak when I hit a curb parking.

great video bro. future Audi A4(B5) 2.8 owner here..

Definitely a good video my friend thank you you save me a lot of money

The video ever!! I have 2003 A4 Audi 3.0 . Can you use regular gasket or do you need to use the original gasket if you cant find one?

Thanks for showing us how to do this don't forget to oil or grease the gasket on the oil filter before you put it on :-)

Turning the heat on high doesn't open the heater core. Its always open turning it on high just turns the flaps from cold to hot to let the air that passes through it to go into the cabin. There are coolant bleed ports on the top of the engine that must be used to bleed the engine.

Great video. I unfortunately have the 2.0-liter, and the oil filter and cooler is much harder to access. I guess I have to remove the inlet manifold in order to get access?

Clear view of what to do, thank you.My question is about what type of leak you just fixed? Is it the coolant fluid or the motor oil?I have a 03 VW Passat 4motion that just left all of the coolant in my drive way. It looks like the leak came exactly from the oil cooler housing but it could be the hose (yet to check on that).Let me know what the leak was for.Thanks so much.

You have helped me out a lot and saved me a lot! but I wanna know. if you can make a video on how to replace transmission solenoid if you're able.. thanks I'll appreciate it

The torque for the retainer nut is not 18 ft-lbs. It's 22ft-lbs, which is 30Nm. Also, the oil that came out of this looked like it was coolant contaminated - badly.

Very good explaining

the VW/Audi oil coolang interphase is extremely redundant and prone to failure resulting in a coolant/oil mixture. I actually did a bypass whereby there was no longer oil/coolant interphase.

Wondering if it was actually something under the timing cover leaking onto the oil cooler from above... Did this solve the problem?

i have a 1999 vw beetle 2.0 gls standard and it seems to be leaking from the same place. but how would i go about to check it?

couldnt you just unscrew the pipe and remove the oil cooler while leaving that one hose in the back on ?

No. I tried. Removing both is the only way for the cooler to come off.

Great video. Computer says my ecm shows 2 malfunction. Do you have vid ecm replacement?

Hey mate! I'm about to do this job on my audi 2.7t i saw that there was another gasket separate from the oil cooler gasket, was it just the new oil cooler and oil cooler gasket you replaced? thanks!

AWESOME! Exactly what I need! How much coolant did you need to ad? I have a 3.0 '03 A4 (same engine as yours), the idiot that worked on the car before me tightened the filter so tight, I had to break it off. In the process of trying to chizzle the top off, I put a hole in the Oil Cooler & all the coolant that was at regular level drained out. Puttied the very small hole until the new Oil Cooler comes in. I put an entire bottle of 50/50 into the resivor, but it needs more. Just wondering if maybe coolant leak is elsewhere? (don't see any leakage) or is this normal for this car.

hi, please let me know if you've changed oil temp sensor as well. I don't know if there is any simpler way to unscrew sensor without removing crank shaft pulley wheel? thank you in advance for your response.

I have an A6 2.8l v6 and there are no coolant hoses to my oil cooler and mine has the pipes to which the hoses connect facing down towards the ground. How bad is that and should I figured out how to reconnect it to coolant?

Could oil and coolant mix within that housing? My Audi is leaking from that oil cooler .......and I had Milky on my oil cap .......?

Great info!! What is the name of the gasket called that goes between the oil cooler and engine called? I cant seem to find it. Thanks in advance!!!

What size diameter and length is the hoses that connect to oil cooler? Thanks

I need help! I want to ask what is the code for this gasket? I have the same problem on vw bora tdi. Thx for answer!

do you have any videos on how to replace the oil thump, or the upper half of the oil pan for audi quattro A4. i was backing out of driveway and curb snagged on to the oil cooler and filter and ripped it out of the top half of my oil pan threads and all, like literally ripped the threaded part of the thump where the filter and the fitting rod would screw in to it at and a few people have told me that replacing the enging block is the only way for me to go about fixing that but i dont really think it'd be that serious of a fix from what i see.

Is this gasket could be a reason of engine oil getting in coolant system?

@Ahooonyyyyyahonny No, the actual metal piece. Over time the thin metal that divides the oil and coolant gets weak since it's a very different pressure on the oil side. So... the oil starts pushing into the coolant. Really easy fix though, just replace that metal piece and the black gasket ring.

good video, just a question does a failure in the oil cooler can be the cause of milky oil in my deepstick gauge, or is it due to a blown head gasket? :(

Edgar Castañeda if the cooler is leaking internally then coolant and oil can mix giving you that milkshake look in your oil.

You won't notice any change, i did that 5 years ago, the only thing is not to go near full throttle and top speeds on the highway,mainly in hot weather; driven within speed limits,and not towing ,no oil cooler needed, lots of cars do not have one.

is there a reason why oil goes into the water and coolant ??

@TAGSProle

Its down to the case cracks and under pressure oil gets in the coolant an the other way around. Other reason may be head gasket but if you know what your looking for in the coolant you can tell if its just the oil cooler

Anyone know of the part number for the gasket Please and thank your
