Ready to race!
Hi there,
Did my first oil change on the GTI today (all others done at dealer). After I got under there I noticed this:
Like a hard putty stuck to the pan/bolt. Was a little tough, but was able to get the bolt off no problem & installed a new bolt. Was more curious than anything else if this is something the dealers typically do? Been a few hours since I did it & havent noticed any leaks yet..
The only other time I saw this was when some shop stripped the bolt on my wife's Rav4 & tried to keep it from leaking with this crap. Ended up replacing the oil pan on hers. I put a Fumoto on hers & will put on the GTI eventually.
btw - the Gorilla's at the dealer put the filter on so friggin tight I could've killed somebody..needed channel locks to get it off.
