SupraStar 3000 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Its been awhile, but I'm pretty sure it was more accessible on the NA. On this TT, No matter which angle I go in at, I can't get my moneky arms in enough to reach! How are you guys getting to the filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 It's not quite as easy on the TT Ed. Ian C did a write up I think about how to do it using carrier bags to limit the spillage. But you can do it but weaving your arm in from the top, its a tight squeeze but can be done. best to drain the oil a good while before you plan to do it so as much as poss has drained from the old one before you unscrew it.

SupraStar 3000 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Thanks Shane. Maybe I'll try after moving the diagnostics plug and pulling aside a few wires. You guys must have really small arms,... or quit masturbation wayyy to soon in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I don't really want to spoil the fun! But Ed you need to take out the 3 10mm power steering reservoir bolts then you can gently lift it up and away to allow you to reach in with your right hand and take a firm grip. Remember in this instance you finish and don't start with lubrication! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
