How do i bleed this hoist model # 8020

check your hydraulic oil levels

You don''t even bother to indicate what year and model of vehicle you have and which engine is fitted.

Get the car up on a lift/hoist and do a proper inspection and you should be able to locate the source of the oil leak if you cannot identify the leak from a top side inspection in the engine bay. There are numerous possibilities for a severe leak depending on the engine fitted.

Some vehicles have an odd way of bleeding them. My Chysler is one of them. Typically, you start from the wheel furthest from the master cylinder and complete one axle at a time, ending with the front wheel closest the master cylinder. On vehicles where the brake line is a tandem design, this is not the procedure. The brakes are bled diagonally beginning with the rear wheel closest the master cylinder and going diagonally to the front wheel, and then to the other rear wheel and then diagonally to the final front wheel, closest the master cylinder. Failure to follow the correct bleed protocol may leave some air in the lines, leading to a spongey pedal., depending on what type of brake line routing your vehicle has. Check your brake lines for leaks.

If you haven't already changed the brakes, or loosened any lines? you don't need a sequence. if you have one piston calipers or two piston calipers all you need are 1 or 2 finger vise grips and depress the calipers with the F-vise grips a little at a time until they are completely seated. I have been doing this for years. IT WON'T HURT THE SYSTEM AND YOUR BRAKES WILL WORK PERFECTLY AFTER. Best part is "NO BLEEDING" you don't need two people for a one person job. If you have already broken the lines, loosen them to where oil is dripping, then you can't do this. If you did open even 1-line, then start from the farthest tire from the master cylinder working your way back towards the tire closest tire to M/C usually the drivers side tire is closest. P.S. if you use the vise grips just remember to pump the brakes a few times before you take off in the car, they will pump right up in 4 or 5 pumps, but don't just drive away and think it's all good.

The part you are looking at is displayed in Carpartsdiscount.com. It is marked down to $8.75 from about $18.50. There is a photo showing the part and its brackets.

The line is a complete part with a rubber hose connecting each metal end via crimped metal fittings. The less visible end is the end with the large metal bracket which the line passes through. The bracket is integrated and the new bracket means you do not try to separate the line from the bracket.

Some of these connections require thin wrenches to fit in the tight spaces. Generally the bracket is slotted for the hose to be fixed in place without requiring 2 wrenches to attach the last connection.

With your problem, it really should not be expensive to arrange a price beforehand, to just switch the hose and bleed the system. The repair place needs a little money to raise the car on a hoist and install the part and bleed the system.

Timewise, this repair with lifting the car on a hoist should easily be done within 1/2 an hour to 45 minutes. You will spend much more time trying to do it yourself.

its in the oil pan, I just removed mine. If you have a 4X4 you have to remove the skid plate, then the front axle assembly, use an engine hoist to lift the motor slightly to get the weight off the motor mounting brackets, remove them, then you can get to the oil pan. Its not extremely difficult, I managed to do it without a motor lift, but I definitely recommend using one.

The oil filter is located on the driver side of the engine, just below the intake manifold, on the side of the engine block. You will need to get it from the bottom of the car, so a "hoist" or lift will make it easier than jacking it up and sliding under the car, which can also be dangerous.

This should be fairly easy to replace otherwise.

Just be sure to get a new ring gasket for the engines very large drain plug if you are changing the oil.

Good luck!

First, drain the oil.

You will need to get an engine hoist and lift the engine about a half foot up. This will require unhooking at least one motor mount that is closest to the oil pan.

Once the engine is lifted, you can unbolt the oil pan and remove/replace it.

Do be mindful of what sort of sockets you need as some Passats require special hex bolts tools or other odd tools.

You shouldn't have to for head gaskets, makes it easier but not necessary.
For oil pan, you may have too. Depending on how much room there is between pan and crossmember and if pan is in tranny. Some cars the oil pan is 1/4" behind tranny but don't think that is the deal on your car.
