I want to change my engine oil on my VW Sharan TDi 2003 model.
I have looked under the vehicle. The cover appears to be held in place with 6 bolts, 2 appear a bit difficult to access. Am I correct that if I remove the 6 bolts the cover will just drop off ? Can the front two bolts be accessed with a socket set with extended arm ? I cannot see where the oil filter is by looking under the bonnet? Is it easy to access once I have dropped the underneath cover ? Last, is the sump plug obvious to the eye ? If so where abouts will it be and will this have a bolt or will it be a special type like Fiats have and require a special tool ? Why dont Haynes produce a manual for VW Sharan 2001 onwards ? It would resolve many general questions and I am sure there is market for this. Anyway advise regarding doing this job would be greatly appreciated as I do not intend paying the VW dealer £131.95 for this.:Blush:
