Hi Guys,
Just got a new A4 2.0 FSI T so obviously not anywhere near ready for an interim oil change yet but just interested to see what the job is like.
How straightforward is it ? Does the engine cover just pull off so as to get at the oil filter on the top of this new engine?
The filter looks to be a spin on type. Does it leak oil down the front of the engine when removed or has most of the oil drained away once the sump is empty?
Did you remove the oil by sucking it out via the dipstick tube or by removing the sump plug? If the latter is the undershield easy to remove?
I imagine the the fact that there is no dipstick and the level is measured via the display is a bit inconvenient for double checking the level when refilling with fresh oil.
Does anyone know if there are any electronic workshop manuals for sale yet?
Thanks for any helpful comments.
