Feedback Corner

In the Feedback Corner, each week will have a weekly status of open
ElsaWeb feedback and a highlighted feedback. The feedback of the
week is from Jared, regarding a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta (1K2). He says:

“To remove expansion valve properly it is best to loosen the heat
shield from the engine, to access the expansion valve. Without that there is
no room to get your hands in. Plus the removal of the electric transfer
pump to access bolts for engine side motor mount is required.”
This feedback was verified by the technical editors and then sent to
the factory to be fixed. The repair manual has now been updated to reflect
the change. Jared included his full name and email with the feedback and
will be receiving Generation VW Bucks for helping improve the quality of
the repair information.

Tech Tip of the Week

TT 17-12-02 - Oil Leak from Oil Drain Plug Area after Oil Change
and/or Drain Plug Replacement
Concern: An oil leak from around the oil drain plug noted after oil change,
and/or drain plug replacement, may be caused by paint in the drain plug
sealing area.
Solution: To resolve the leak, remove paint in the sealing area with sand
paper to allow for a proper seal. The factory installed 18mm oil drain plug
is serviced with a 19 mm oil drain plug, part number N 908 132 02.

Engines require oil to lubricate and protect the load bearing and internal moving parts from wear
including cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings. When a piston moves down its cylinder, a thin film of
oil is left on the cylinder wall. During the power stroke, part of this oil layer is consumed in the
combustion process. Varying rates of oil consumption are accepted as normal in all engines.
