Title: TDI Oil filter
Post by: ALIAHMET on July 30, 2016, 07:40:12 pm

Serviced the car today

Changed the oil but got stuck with the oil filter.... it will not turn!!!

Using a 32mm bit but no matter how much I try it will not budge. I had to give up when I noticed I was starting to damage the nut

Will give it another go in the morning, when the engine is cold.

Am I doing something wrong???

Yeah jus got to turn anti clockwise mate try and used a single hexagon socket so its less chance of slipping. Ive had to use a 1/2 inch long handle rachet and long extension bar on these before due to be so tight.
