Supercharged 2 Posted August 4, 2006 I'd only use VW ones - cheaper and better... 06A115561B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted August 4, 2006 Yeah - VW don't generally charge the earth for their oil filters and besides - if you go pick up enough Synta Silver oil to do an oil change from VAG, they might chuck a filter in with it for you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartFZR400 0 Posted August 4, 2006 I wasn't that lucky Jim, but I bought an Oil Filter off VAG for under £10. minstrall - dont forget to ask for a sump-plug washer too; thats probably free. NB: using a VAG filter is a good thing. When buying a car, I get suspicious if non genuine parts are used; even though those parts maybe good, there is a degree of certainty with VAG.

mistrall 0 Posted August 5, 2006 thanks guys - will try to get it all tomorow - or monday - is it easy to change your oil and filter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Easy enough. You might need a strap wrench to get the old filter off. Lightly grease the rubber seal of the new filter, do it up hand tight, not with the strap wrench. And be careful with the sump plug as the hexagon head is made out of quite soft metal. 17mm socket if I remember correctly. Do it all with the engine warm enough to thin the oil but not hot enough to scald you. Safety/environment moment; don't get under a car supported just on a jack; use axle stands NOT bricks, under hard suspension mounting points. Do the job on level, hard ground. Dispose of the old oil and filter at your local municipal collection point. Well, you did ask....... Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 8, 2006 Yeah - 19mm six sided for the sump plug and make sure you use a new crush washer... Use an old alternator belt to get the fiilter off if you've not got a strap wrench - stick a screwdriver thru it as a last resort but be careful not to brake the dipstick guide or go thru any water pipes - lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
