replacing the oil in my A3

[jalz]

Hi Guys,

Gonna go to TPS and get some Quantum oil for my car as the servie light has come on. Instead of going to the garage, think I'm gonna attempt it myself if the weather isn't too bad.

Quick question, to get to the sump, there seems to be a plastic cover/panel which I have to remove. As I dont have any lifting equipment, how easy is it to remove and affix once I have finished. What type of screws is holding this thing up and how many/where are they?

Many Thanks for any advice.

Hi Jalz, I did mine t'other week an there were 4 torx type screws holding the panel up, 2 down either side. If you're changing the oil filter as well make sure you mop up any oil that pukes out when removin it cos there's a little ledge just below it (AGU engine) where spilt oil collects and makes it look like there's a leak for a couple of days. Good luck bro
