Cheaper than I thought. Thanks for the info, and enjoy your cuppa next time you change your oil

Aye, I’ll have sheets and rags at the ready.

Thanks. I may have a look myself

Thanks Steve, yes I should have looked before clambering under the car. Largest socket I have is 27mm and I just presumed I’d have one big enough...til I tried 🙄

Hi Gareth, That’s great. Saves me losing a load of oil and faffing under the car again. Thanks for taking the time to help. Kind regards, David

I have just changed the oil in my 2016 A6 but didn’t check I had a socket large enough for the filter housing before I drained it. So I’ve had to fill the engine with fresh oil with the old filter still in situ for the time being. Once I get a VAG filter tool, can I replace filter without having to redrain the block?
