Hey everyone,
I am new to this group and helped a friend change their oil in a 2000 Jetta with 2.0l 4cyl, auto trans. I have changed oil on all my cars as long as I have been driving. This Jetta had no oil on the stick when I started and I suspected a bad oil change prior (supposedly Big O). When I drained the oil, I cleaned the drain plug and went to reinstall. I always torque drain plugs 20-35lbs depending on the size of the plug. I didn't even get 5lbs on this drain plug and it just spins in the oil pan. Is this some sort of VW thing or is the drain pan stripped out? The drain plug looks ok and their is no oil leak so I am suspicious.
Is that normal for a VW?
TIA,
Derek
