Where is the oil filter located on a 2005 vw jeta tdi?

The element is in a cartridge in front of the engine. Don't forget that you also have to drain the oil out of the oil pan. If you don't know how to change your oil, take it to a mechanic. Here are pics of an oil change and where the filter is. http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/engin鈥?/a>





Make sure you use VW spec 505.01, 506.01, or 507.00, other oils can erode the camshaft. If you take it to someone, make sure they use these specs oil because not using this oil will void the engine warranty. Again, if you don't know where the oil filter is, you probably should not attempt this job.Where is the oil filter located on a 2005 vw jeta tdi?
the oil filter is located on the top of the engine (in front between the radiator and the engine. next to the dip stick. take off the black plastic cover and the oil filter is under the black plastic cap. take that off by unscrewing it. the filter is not a filter like in a regular car.

Its a replaceable paper element under the large black cap. You will need a special wrench(available at a good parts shop GSF or Europarts) the element will come with a small bag with two ';o'; rings, it is important to replace these.
ohhhhh...pay to have it done!
