thanks for the vid, i changed the oil and filter yesterday , and wow what a pig the filter is, the elbow joint on the socket is an absolute must, i managed to get away with just diconnecting the top intercooler pipe and moving it out the way along with the brake resevoir, i got mpm oil rated at vw's 506.01 again a pig to find, but hey 2 years or 15k until the next, the burn on my hand should heal by then

Glad you found the vid useful - it's a pig of a job indeed but nice feeling when it's done and knowing you've saved the labour costs! Roll on next 2 yrs/15k!!!
