At last Thanks Pacman...........the reason I'm not changing the oil filter is because it was only done last Spring and I really haven't done much milage since then.

Ok I know what we're doing later this evening......

Last spring!!!!!?!?!??!?!??!??!!!!?!?!?!?!?

I use three to four oil filters a year regardless of milage. Diesel engines do like a nice oil and filter change, have you clocked the colour it goes?

Definately 4.5 litres if you change the filter and 4 litres if you don't. Filters are £5 and should be changed every time with oil why contaminate your new clean oil with 0.5 litres of old dirty stuff.

OK guys point taken......................horza put your eyes back in mate .hehehehehe...

So I'll change the filter aswell and I promise to change it more often............

Seeing as you were so shocked can you you advise me on how often I should do oil changes Horza....cheers in advance

Torz

I was advised by a top man here to do the change every 3000 miles.

'kin dirtest oil change I've ever done....

Die sels- they just aint natural

wonky engine, stupid hugest filter you ever did see.......kin things

blue pop, square crisps.......................

3000 miles is good, I tend to also just pick a dryish weekend or evening around 3 or 4 months since the last change, for my milage it works out to about the same or better.

Matt!?!? I thought Torz was doing it, not you. I'd have written you a little FAQ and drawn a diagram if I'd known

ya cheeky booger........

notice vw built in a handy slot on the base o the filter.....

cept you canna get a driver in for love nor money.......

i'll have to save up for vw special tool number 456 out of 123432343

13mm (or indeed almost any) ring spanner sideways accross the filter. I like the way you couldn't use the slot to tighten it even if you had gone and completely lost your marbles.

I thought the oil filters had a hex end for a 24mm socket??
