Guest Sausage Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Is it a hard job to changer the oil strainer and oil in my tt auto box? Shore I read it's a pain to fully drain it. And I've 4 litres of oil but how many do I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Depends how handy you are with spanners, its a very simple job, drain the sump, ring of 10mm bolts, 3x 10mm bolts hold the filter in. I think its only 2 litres to fill the sump again, its about 8 to flush the box out fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sausage Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Cool I'll be doing it at work so will be on a 4 poster so easy done. Looks like I'll only be part flushing it then or best I can as I've only 4 litres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Don't forget to top the box up, then run the car and finalise the level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Diffsalot Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Easy to do just very messy, drain the oil and remove about 20 10mm bolts, sometimes the dipstick tube can be seized so you might have to undo 1 bolt holding it onto the intake manifold, then as said theres 3 bolts holding in the strainer. When you have have it all back together refill it through the dipstick tube, have it running in P when checking the levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Remember to have new sump pan sealant 2-3 mm bead all the way around and dont let it go into the pan... so best to let it dry before topping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
