Jay23Sx 0 Posted September 3, 2009 Hi All, Just a quickie: does anyone know what size oil filter cap/wrench I need to do a change on a 1.8 valver? I've already got a standard strap wrench but it still proved a right bugger to get off the last time, thought I'd try and make it even easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 3, 2009 You just need the Tool from VW made by Hazet - halfords also do a copy of this made by laser - not as good but will do the job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted March 11, 2011 VR uses replaceable elements, so don't whack a screwdriver through the outer case! that e-bay tool is for the 4cyl cars, think you just need a spanner/socket for the VR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
