Spent a while under the engine bay and struggle to find the oil filter, totally baffled. It doesn't seem to appear to be in the same place as the mk6 golf 1.6 tdi. really would appreciate a steer in the right direction. Times like this, you could kill for a haynes manual. On my Golf oil cap it’s written “Castrol” (2 months old car). Since it’s the same spec. 504 00 / 507 00 you can use Shell oil. It’s compatible with other oils with the same spec. as Castrol Edge FST 5w-30 504 00 / 507 00. As you write it’s good to let the engine stand for a couple of minutes, (the car of cause on horizontal ground ). yeah probably wait on this service till 80K. With the lockdown situation, i am getting ready to do the 50K., with the Engine Oil service, accessory belt, spark plugs, brakes and brakes flush. ATF was something i wasnt sure, but looks like i still got another 30K. Mk7 R Oil cap seal. Could someone with a Mk7 Gti/R do me a favour and check if there is a seal in the oil filler kneck. It should be a flat washer type seal, not a traditional round o-ring which sits in the kneck.

The Motul oils are totally decent and worth buying, I just use LM as it comes in oil kits from DAP and ECS. Yea..well now that you've mentioned the liqui-moly, the price might end up being the deciding factor. Notes on Step 2: Remove the radiator fans first. All four oil cooler bolts are 6mm Allen. The top two bolts are a royal pain in the ass, you'll need 6-inch Allen keys. Not a normal Allen key with a 6" extension, you'll need an actual long-ass Allen key. Squeezing the upper rad house will expedite coolant drainage. KSyFn.
