Question 1

How to remove and install the oil pan for Four-cylinder engines on Volkswagen Passat?

Accepted Answer

The engine is removed by first ensuring that the parking brake is set and the rear wheels blocked and lifting the front of the vehicle ensuring it is well supported on jackstands. Take the splash shield out at the back of the engine, and put the radiator support panel into the service position, and make sure you can access the front of the engine by removing the front bumper. Drain engine oil and pull out the oil dipstick then the serpentine drivebelts and engine cooling fan. In air-conditioned models, unbolt the air conditioning compressor drivebelt tensioner roller, remove the braces on the torque rod support bracket side, and unbolt the torque rod support bracket depending on the presence of air conditioning. Unplug the starter motor cables and un plug the electrical connector on the oil temperature sending unit (where fitted). The right-hand transmission mount has bolts, which should be loosened and removed; the same should be done to the left-hand transmission mount on the automatic automobile. In the case of manual transmission, unscrew the left-hand mount nut until it is in contact with the bolt end. Attach a hoist to the engine and lift it with a lot of caution, and then undo the left side engine mount and the engine bracket. Unscrew the flange bolts and separate the turbocharger oil return line, which can then be laid aside and the gasket removed. Unscrew and pull out the bolts of the oil pan, and reach the rear ones with a cut-out in the flywheel, if it becomes necessary, then get the oil pan off and the gasket as well, tapping it carefully, should it be stuck. To install, scrape the old sealant off the block and the oil pan, clean the mating surfaces and inspect the flange of the oil pan. Check the oil pump pick-up tube assembly and install in case removed with a new O-ring or gasket. In case of the use of RTV sealant, apply a bead to the flange of the oil pan; in case of a solid gasket used, apply sealant at the corners in which the oil seal housings join the engine block then firmly press the gasket on the oil pan and line up the bolt holes. Install the oil pan loosely on the engine block, and install the bolts that connect oil pan to the engine block screwed in the middle outward and lastly screwed the oil pan-to-bell housing bolts in case the oil pan had bolts. Install it in the same sequence as it was removed and make sure not to apply the sealant before the sealant has dried before adding the oil and then check the engine to see the oil pressure and leakages.

Question 2

How to remove and install a oil pan for V6 engines on Volkswagen Passat?

Accepted Answer

The V6 engines have a two-piece oil pan and the upper half of the engine must be removed to access the oil pan. The steps required to remove the lower oil pan are, first, place the parking brake and block the rear wheels, the next step is to raise the front of the vehicle, and place it on jackstands. Take off splash shield under the engine assuming it is present and empty the engine oil together with the oil dipstick. Then loosen the stabilizer bar by loosening the bushing bolts and dropping it to the ground. Undo the lower oil pan mounting bolts, and then undo the oil pan and gasket, tapping with a mallet if very difficult. In the case of SOHC engines, the pick-up cover of the oil pump should be removed and then the gasket is removed. To install, remove all the old sealant or gasket material on the oil pans and cleanse the mating surfaces with lacquer thinner or acetone. The threaded holes in the upper oil pan are to remain clean and the flange of the oil pan is to be examined against distortion, repairing any nicks or burrs. Check the oil pick-up screen is free and on SOHC and early DOHC engines, fit the lower oil pan gasket to upper oil pan then the pick-up cover. In subsequent DOHC engines where the oil pump is driven by a chain, put a layer of RTV sealant on the oil pan flange, and make sure that it is installed in less than 5 minutes. Install the oil pan on the top oil pan and place the bolts in place loosely then install them by tightening to the required torque. Install the rest and reverse the procedures of removal, following the instructions of the sealant manufacturers in the time of the curing process and lastly, running the engine, to watch the level of oil pressure and any leaks.
