Got a 1.9 SDI polo (9n) which needs an oil and filter change.
Get the car jacked up, take off the cover and undo the sump bolt.
Start draining the oil, and look to get the oil filter out.
Hit a brick wall, dont have a socket big enough to undo the oil filter.
Its the one with the oil filter inside an alu tube with a plastic cover on top.
Any ideas as to the size of the socket or point me to a tool to remove the oil filter? Just bought an Altea which will also need the same tool so might as well buy one rather then bodge it if possible.
Cheers!
