You mean that bit that is on the lump... or the plastic housing that holds the filter?

Sorry to here that mate.
Some mechanic  :stupid: it's as easy as get a screw driver in and spin it off. Done a few of these not gti but oil filter housing relates issues where the nut has worn out and you have to break it off or punch a driver in and screw it off.
You mean the oil filter housing.

Kinda a difficult one as there is a center holder that you must not break
