VW Passat Pulling Engine Part 1/3 (Putting car in service mode 1/2)

We thought we had a blown head gasket, because we did a "block test" to check for exhaust gasses in the coolant, the test came back positive, so we thought we had a blown head gasket. After tearing down the engine (videos being uploaded on engine teardown) we discovered our OIL COOLER was bad. In this video, the guy uses the same test we used to check for blown head gasket, cracked block or cracked head:    • How to Test Head Gasket   Amazon link: http://a.co/4vzkIFM Not sure if the product linked is the exact same one I used, or if it's the exact one used in the video I linked. But it's the same type of deal, and would work. CHECK YOUR OIL COOLER! Because oil pressure is higher than coolant pressure, the crack in the oil cooler allowed oil to get in the coolant, but not very much water in the oil (if at all). Here is a link to a video I used to check our oil cooler (not my video):    • TDI oil cooler failure and testing   While looking for the video I used I found this video:    • Volkswagen Jetta VR6, Checking Oil Cooler ...   his oil cooler does not look bad from what I quickly seen while skipping through the video, however, he uses the method that we used to check the oil cooler. In this video I begin to put the car in service mode, to make pulling the engine much easier. This is a 2002 VW Passat with a 1.8t engine, engine model AWM. I hope this series helps you guys to gain confidence in doing the work yourself and save tons of money by not taking it to the shop. Part 2:    • VW Passat Pulling Engine Part 2/3 (Putting...
