Will that work? at this point i am just sort of imagining how this works.ĭo I need to loosen anything up first? I think I just need a few inches of clearance between the pan and the subframe but I have never done anything like this in a couple of decades. Loosen the the subframe up and pull it down some how, but not out of the car. Tighten the chains on the support beam and lower the jackĤ. jack the motor up slightly with a block of wood against the oil panģ. I am not sure I can get those bolts out as the car sits so I picked up an engine support beam from Harbor Freight/Fright. Some idiot engineer put a subframe and roll bar in the way. My concern is getting the rest of the bolts out. I picked up all (12) oil pan bolts the local audi dealer had on hand. Two more want to strip but they are still in reasonable condition. ![]() I jacked the car up and broke about a dozen oil pan bolts loose, so six more to go. I am going to stick a pick in the drain hole to see if i can manipulate to come out some how but I dont have high hopes for that. I pulled the dip stick tube off the upper pan and the extractor is clearly stuck in the lower pan some how. It has never been a problem, until now.Īny way, I fed the extractor down the dipstick and sucked out the oil but now the extractor wont come out. I have done this many many times in my Golf R and parents in-law Q5. My cerebrum tells me that my auditory cortex is full of shit, but.I recently bought this A4 B8 2009 CAEB/2.0T for my kid and I went to change the oil Saturday with an oil extractor. My hand wouldn't raise to add it to an oil, but since it was pre-mixed in from the factory I went for it. I don't believe in magic and I know that MoS2 is a diddly-squat type of oil additive. and it P-H-A-K-I-N-G worked Thus far, ticking/tapping gone. I figured I'll try Liqui Moly 10W40 with Mos2 pre-mixed in from the factory. Eventually I changed oil to x2 quarts of 5w40 (229.5) that I had left over and about 圆 quarts of 0w40 (229.5). Sometime this summer (2020) I noticed that's ticking/tapping is back. None of the plastic tubes had their bottoms popped, but ticking/tapping at idle was cured. In late 2019 I replaced plastic camshaft oilers with metal ones. It progressively gotten worse, where I could hear it standing up to 20 feet away from the car. ![]() I had an engine ticking/tapping develop at idle (ONLY once coolant warmed up) during the first year of the ownership, back in 2015. I have a more interesting result from the oil change though. ![]() And fully insert until the tube bottoms out then pull up again by 1/8 inch say so it takes the oil quicker and doesn’t suck onto the pan!Ĭlick to expand.Indeed, with 6.8-6.9 liters out and 7.5 liters in, the oil level is smack in the middle of the dipstick. The only fluid I do not use my extractor for is Coolant and all oils are taken for proper recycling in a 25L jug.Ī good tip for using these is to have the oil hot / warm at least – like you would normally change engine oil anyway. Came across a rounded off transmission drain plug when going in to change the filter and ATF? What usually requires an ATF bath from below can be avoided by vacuuming out the ATF from the dipstick tube first.īrake Fluid changes are easier too – it takes seconds for it to vac out the reservoir dry so you can fill with fresh fluid then start the flush to the callipers beginning with 100% fresh fluid. (Manual or Air powered) Obviously the use for extraction is not just limited to motor oil.Įver discovered an overfilled transmission? Just drop a thin tube down the dipstick and draw out excess fluid. These are all great suggestions! A very useful tool no matter what type you buy.
