dasautobahn 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Hi, can anyone help me? Whilst attempting to change the oil filter on the VR6, I've managed to break the lower oil filter housing (the nut part). Does anyone know where I can get a new one from as I've scoured the 'net and can't find one anywhere. And, if anyone has got any tips on how to remove the remaining part of the housing, they'll be greatly appreciated! Cheers Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted February 24, 2007 You mean you have snapped off the filter drain plug or the main plastic section? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 24, 2007 Welcome to the forum, if you mean the plastic section where the drain plug screws into then VW do both as a kit for not much £... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dasautobahn 0 Posted February 25, 2007 Welcome to the forum Thanks! Yeah, it's the main plastic section. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattkh 0 Posted February 25, 2007 Hi Is the hex plastic nut on it 36mm. You can use a second hand one. Try a scrappy if your local GSF or ECP is closed today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dasautobahn 0 Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah, I think it's the 36mm nut, that's the part that I've managed to break. I'll get on the 'phone to VW in the mornin. Cheers for the help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
