Evening all,
Just a question or two regarding an oil change fora octy 2 {2.0 tdi}

I have previously owned a ASV engine VAG car and oil filter changes were verystraight foward. BUT ... now with the common rail engine, there seems to be a stainless pipe right in the F***in way of the filter.

I was chatting to a lad who reckons that the pipe can be removed in order to manuvour out the spent filter and also create enough room to put the new one in without causing any damage to either new cotton filter or pipe. .

Can anyone give me their opinion if they have experienced this dificulty.

Thanks
Tom

the VRS TDI isn't common rail it's PD where as your ASV was not PD.

You got a picture of the pipe or is it the one that is about 1/4-1/2" wide?

Sry, mistake there when i reffered to the engine as common rail, i must have been daydreaming whilst typing (I should proof read my threads really ) ...
I believe it may be a pipe that recirculates the exhaust gasses. It is approx 1" in diameter and it is of a material that resembles stainless / chrome.. I'm wondering if i removed the two bolts fixing the pipe in place at one end, will i be able to manuvour the pipe away to allow sufficient space to change the filter?..

I've attached a photo (which i should have done in the first place!!)


Cheers,
Tom
