This reminds me of the lesson I learned about working on the vehicles of relatives. I had done the maintenance and repairs of my father in law's two cars for years saving him thousands of dollars. I had his BMW in for an oil change and everything went routine. Two days later he calls and says; "what did you do to my car?". My reply: "I changed the oil and filter." He says: "Well the check engine light is on and you were the last one to touch it so you must have messed up something." I pulled codes and it was an evap leak. I told him that was unrelated to an oil change. He got irate and told me it was my responsibility to get it fixed because I must have done something wrong. I fixed the vent control valve and then told him that I was done repairing or even touching his vehicles. He was absolutely surprised and could not understand my decision. Our relationship was never the same. He passed away about 6 months ago.

Eventually went outside to assist, she obviously thought the oil level was meant to appear all the way to the top of the dip stick which resulted in her in overfilling by many several quarts. Luckily she did not crank the engine, the mechanics employed by the garage drained the excess oil and advised her accordingly.

One day this guy comes in with a Caddy, the thing had like a 478 CID in it. My turn to serve, so I go out, customer was "Fill 'er Up", I ask, "Check yer Oil?", he says sure...

Customer says, put oil in it. I ask, how many quarts you want? He says till its full like it's supposed to be. I put 5 quarts of oil in that car. Customer watched me.... the stick was at the full mark, customer was happy, drove off and I won the contest that day.... only one problem...

Thankfully i looked inside the engine with endoscope, parts of that belt was resting on the timing chain! Thankfully it didn't jump the timing and she got away with oil pan cleaning, new crank seal and a alternator belt. I think that se coulprit on it was the waterpump/supecharger. It was giving some trouble codes also.

was the belt a before or after the cause of the problem

Reminds me of that BMW with the VANOS codes. The oil pressure appeared to drop as the engine was revved up (and the light came on), same as the BMW. Did that belt shred while going down the road, destroy the crankshaft oil seal and spew all the oil out? Or did the oil leak contribute to the belt shredding? Either way, it's a goner lol.

Then he went to go and the crank pully and damper just jumped off the engine and rolled a little while and then into the drainage ditch under water. I'm not sure if the bolt was loose or broke or what. Just so odd to see the two pieces roll into the drink. I'm not sure he even knew what happened, I was late so I had to get moving.

HI if this guys kids are anything like mine were an oil light is just a nuance, I'll have dad look at it when I get home. Oh wait I have to go shopping for a new dress...

No oil leak..but oil light keeps coming on..oil is full..think i can make it from utah to vegas..6hr drive ?

I would have checked the oil pressure sensor itself - it can sometimes die and start to leak oil. If it's close to the belt and the belt is thrown off it could be killed by the belt. But I don't know enough about that specific engine to see if that's the case. End conclusion would be - don't put off changing your belt, it's cheap.

I haven't worked on that model, and I didn't hear the rod knock over my speakers, but the valve noise indicates low oil pressure in the head. Does that thing have an oil cooler line that might have blown out? I suspect that whatever is dumping the oil is the cause of the low oil pressure and the oil loss. Is there oil in the radiator and is it smoking? This strikes me as an old fashioned mechanical diagnostic... Now if the rods have been knocking for a while... the engine is likely toast.

Good thing it was towed to the customer's house. You won't have to be calling him for the next six months to get it out of your yard while he decides what to do with it.

I think it’s scanner time. Let’s make sure that the computer isn’t commanding the oil to leave the engine. 😂😂😂

It's spraying oil out somewhere and you checking if the alternator is charging ?????

Front seal failure?

I dont know if that model has a oil cooler mount in the some area at engine block with cooling system, like passat, it will sound like diesel couse lack of oil at the cam tensioner

just curious, where was the leak? And if they drove it with low oil/ low oil pressure, of course that engine was going to be toast.

120,000 miles. I'm surprised it went that far.😂 My neighbor's VW died at 83,000.

I would say on this one, that the oil leaks should have been chased down 12 months ago when fuel pump was replaced. You mentioned it was covered in oil then.

I had a Traverse towed in today that I had done a timing chain job on for a used car dealer about 9 months ago. Customer stated "engine started knocking, just had timing chains done by you". My oil filter was still on it, it was 1/2 qt over full of oil and had 8000 miles more than when I did the chains. Essentially, the customer bought the car for his daughter, she drove it til it blew up, dad put oil in it and blamed me for it running out of oil since I was the last one to work on it. In their defense, it still had 14% "oil life" remaining, even though it had probably been low on oil for thousands of miles. Its funny, if you go by the oil life indicator some GMs will let you go 12k miles between oil changes but GM also says "normal" oil consumption is up to 1qt/1000 miles even brand new. So according to GM it's normal to have to add 12 qts of oil between changes.

No parts required , an engine is required instead .🤣🤣🤣

This is customer neglect, almost 100%. VW engines are solid, they always have been. But they also need you to be diligent with maintenance. If the oil needs changing every 8000 miles, that means 8000 miles max. Not 8001. If they say use synthetic and some weird viscosity, use that weird viscosity and synthetic. People treat them like a Honda or Toyota, where you can piss in the crank and use that for lubrication for 100k miles, but that's not how VWs are. They are built to much tighter tolerances, so not maintaining them right, will cause them to grenade pretty quickly. The only issues with these engines are needing carbon cleaning because of carbon build up, turbos failing on the early ones, and (electric) water pumps failing on the more recent ones.

In eating it the bottom crank shaft pulley seal was damaged and the belt got chewed into the timing system.

So What Caused This?

Clearly it has a serious oil leak and some internal damage due to lack of oil so a look underneath would've been helpful to find the leak.

Neutral Drop has some competition now.

A lot of them blindly ignore early warning signs like when there is pools or rivers of fluids on the driveway or parking space. Or cover up warning lights with pictures or tape. And they just keep driving until it leaves them walking.

So the belt failure takes out the front seal and/or wears a hole in the front cover and this is what u get. Happens often with BMWs too.

Wow, grenade that engine by revving it up lol. Haha, great job getting that rod knock! So bad! I wondered if there's hole in block? Or what client gonna do? Put me engine in or scrap the car? Wow, just so bad!!! But i like your idea of neutral drop lol

Before I get to the end of the video, almost seems like rodney may have made an escape.

I'd love to know where the oil was coming from just for giggles. Definitely oil starvation which cooked it. 120k and it's curtains 😂

"Daughter topped it off with oil" ....Sorry, but when Ivan said he was told this, I said all bets were off. Yeah, we will never know what really happened to this car. Just walk away Ivan 🤷‍♂

Surprised it didn't catch fire or smoke the new belt lol

As soon as that engine started i was like a hole on the block somewhere as that noise is to familiar 🤔

What was the diagnosis? Your engine makes noise and leaks oil?

clearly it needs a new engine... customer can make their decision of repair or replace vehicle.

Diagnosis = needs new engine. Pretty cut and dry lol

What a mess. But it was fun to watch. :)

That's customer neglect, for sure. Those engines have their problems, but this isn't one of them. If it was a water pump (causing an over-heat), carbon build up causing a miss, or electrical problems, that's VWs fault, but this? This was caused by some sort of neglect. VW engines do not fail like this.

Yes they ignored the oil leak against my recommendation 6 months ago. RIP VW 😢
