- oil filter removal tool (pliers or keys);
- socket head 32 mm or HAZET 2169-32 for unscrewing the oil filter cap;
If the engine oil will be taken, and not drained, then
- oil syringe with nozzle diameter up to 10 mm;
- oil collection container.
If oil drains:
- inspection pit or hydraulic gantry garage lift;
- container for collecting engine oil with a volume of at least 5 liters.
Necessary parts to replace worn and fluid:
- depending on the type of engine, 3.5-5.0 liters of engine oil. Fill only with oil recommended by VW;
- appropriate oil filter;
- new o-ring for oil filter cap;
- new drain plug with o-ring. A new plug is needed if the oil is drained and not taken.
Replacement paper filter elements are available. Their advantage is that the oil filter itself does not need to be changed. Only the filter insert needs to be replaced.
The oil filter consists of a body 1, a cover 2 and a replaceable filter element (inserts) 3 (see illustration 8.0).
The oil filter is screwed to the cylinder block. Depending on the filter model, there may be a drain plug on its body 4 (see illustration 8.0). Regardless of the filter housing, replaceable filter elements from different manufacturers are suitable for it.
There are HENGST inserts in the sales network (see illustration 8.0), MANN+HUMMEL and also MAHLE/ KNECHT.

Attention! The volumes given are approximate. After changing the oil, its level should be checked with a dipstick and, if necessary, adjusted.
Engine oil can be withdrawn through the guide tube of the rod oil level indicator or drained through the drain hole, closed with a screw plug.
To select engine oil, you need an appropriate syringe.
When selecting it, it is necessary to be guided by the inner diameter of the guide tube of the rod oil level indicator, into which the syringe intake hose is inserted.
Due to the fact that syringes can be supplied with hoses of different diameters, this circumstance should be taken into account.
Otherwise, the siphon intake hose simply cannot be inserted into the dipstick tube.
Draining engine oil
1. Vehicles with 1.4-/1.6-litre FSI engine and diesel engine. Unscrew the oil filter cap to allow the oil from the filter to drain into the oil pan.
2. Take the engine oil with a syringe through the guide tube of the oil dipstick.
If there is no oil syringe, then the engine oil should be drained. To do this, install the car horizontally on the goats or stand on a viewing hole.
Attention! There is a risk of injury when jacking up the vehicle and placing it on jackstands. Read the precautions in chapter «car jacking».
3. Remove the engine mudguard, see relevant chapter.
4. Place a container under the oil pan to collect the drained oil.
Attention! Be careful if hot oil is drained to avoid burns.
5. Unscrew the drain plug on the oil pan and completely drain the used oil (see arrow in illustration).
Attention! If a large amount of metal chips and metal abrasion products are found in engine oil, then this indicates the presence of scoring, for example, in crankshaft bearings or connecting rod bearings. To avoid further damage, the oil passages and oil circulation hoses must be thoroughly cleaned after the engine has been overhauled.
As an additional measure, if installed, replace the oil cooler.
6. After draining the oil, screw in a new plug with a new sealing ring.
The tightening torque of the drain plug is 30 Nm.
Attention! The rated tightening torque of the drain plug must not be exceeded. Otherwise, it may leak or be damaged.
7. Lower the car on wheels.

8. Unscrew the oil filter with a 30 mm wrench behind the hexagon (see arrow in illustration), and then unscrew the filter by hand. Collect the oil flowing from the filter in a container or with an oil-absorbing rag.
9. Clean the oil filter mounting flange on the cylinder block with alcohol. If necessary, remove seal residues.
10. Lubricate the O-ring of the new oil filter with a thin layer of engine oil.
11. Install the new oil filter in place and screw it in by hand until the gasket fits. Once the gasket is in contact with the cylinder block, tighten the filter 1/2 turn.
It is also recommended that you first read the instructions of the manufacturer of the oil filter being installed.
12. Lower the car on wheels.

13. Unscrew the oil filter cap using, for example, a crochet wrench, working from above, or a socket (see arrow in illustration).
14. Remove cover 1 and remove the replaceable filter element with it 4. Collect the leaked engine oil with a rag (see illustration).
15. Disconnect the replacement filter element from the filter cover.

33. Remove the cover and remove the replacement filter element with it. Collect leaked oil with a rag.
34. Clean the cover contact surface and the filter housing.
35. Insert the filter element with the cover fixed on it into the filter housing and screw on the cover with a tightening force of 25 Nm.
36. Lower the car on wheels.
Refilling engine oil
37. Remove cover 1 from the oil filler neck and fill in fresh oil (see illustration).
Attention! When refueling engine oil, it is recommended to fill in approximately 1/2 liter less than the filling volume without fail. Then start the engine and warm it up. Then turn off the engine and after a few minutes check the oil level with a dipstick and add oil if necessary. Excess oil must be removed because it can cause damage to the engine and catalytic seals.
The engine oil level is normal if it is within the limits marked with the letter B. If the oil level only reaches the zone marked with the letter C, then the oil should be added until its level rises to the range B.
Attention! Excess oil (above range A) should be selected, because in this case the cylinder head gasket or the catalyst will be damaged.
38. Perform a test drive, and upon completion, check the tightness of the fit of the drain plug and oil filter. Tighten them if necessary, with some care.
39. Check the oil level 3 minutes after stopping the engine and, if necessary, top up the oil level.
40. Reinstall the engine mudguard.
