8yr old video and I think this helped me out more than any other video on a3’s on UA-cam. Thanks!

You are supposed to remove the old Oil Filter first. This allows any residual oil to run down into the pan and get a proper full drain. Otherwise all of that left over used oil is just being added to the new clean oil and contaminating it.

[@DJGroove]

I was thinking the same as well. Unless there is a reason not to do it makes more sense to me.

[@olegariobaptista7284]

Residual oil will not run down into the pan, it need pressure , for valve relief.

[@Iamtherealsun]

I like to pour a little bit of fresh oil down when the drain plug is off to really clean it all out

[@chris77777777ify]

Completely pointless. The new filter is for cleaning.
In fact what you do is simply wasting valuable oil

[@commie281]

@@chris77777777ify nah dude if they like to use a little extra of their own oil to get it that little bit cleaner don’t come at them

One of clearest auto videos I've seen, thank you.

My friend the car you work on it is Volkswagen not Audi A3

[@danlhall1963]

Yes you video was excellent, i wish you could do one for the serpentine belt & transmission oil change

[@Cosworth190e]

Wrong on the 5 liter oil quantity! I just spent an entire afternoon dealing with an overfill because I blindly followed this guide instead of checking the manual and verifying the actual capacity. I dumped an entire 5 liter jug in after changing the oil and was way above the max fill on the dipstick. Sure enough the owners manual on my 2012 A3 TDI states clearly that the oil capacity with filter change is only 4.0 liters.
Had to go buy a top side vacuum to suck out the extra liter of oil.

[@Michael-pd4wu]

I fill about 3 3/4 leave then use the dip to get right, never blindly pour oil in easier to top up than take out.

[@ff_van_petrol]

My 2010 Audi A3 2.0tdi CFFB is 5.5 liters

[@danlhall1963]

I know that is off subject but can you get a better look at removing the serpentine belt from the under carriage??

[@worc1107]

You couldn't post a part number or pic of the three rear T30 torx bolts that hold the splash guard on could you. I can't find them anywhere. Thanks

[@lynottfan4four826]

Really good video, thank you,

[@SuperSonicDonk3y]

Why is my oil filter blocked with egr pipe and the intake manifold rofl

[@AA-hy3xs]

Nothing about the fuel filter?

[@manny3332]

So after draining it, you add 5 litres of new oil???

[@nasirkhan-el6vr]
