[GFE]

Hello evrybody,

Today I want to change the oil, filters (air, oil), sparks and brake pads on my Audi A2.

I have remove the samp guard, and there is fex place to access to the oil filter ... Have you got a trick for me ?

Then where is the air filter on this car ?

Best Regards

The air filter is in the black box just infront of the drivers wheel.

The oil filter on the FSI is on the front of the engine about halfway up.

I can’t see why they would change the location of the oil filter on the block, but who knows

You can find the air filter behind the right headlight ( on the passenger side ) and you can access it from below. The oil filter is also accessed from below.
As mentioned, the oil filter is located in front of the engine and must also be replaced from below. Impossible to do without oil spills.

Resurrecting since I was having trouble locating the oil filter. I looked at a YouTube video for the Golf 1.6 FSI thinking it was the same convenient position but it isn't!
So is the oil filter hidden from view above by the exhaust manifold cover. Is it a screw on canister rather than a changeable element?

Standard screw-on, it’s a bit of a pain to get to.

Thanks, that's a fantastic place to put it bearing in mind you need to get the engine hot to ensure you get maximum oil out.
I shall look forward to burning my hands....NOT

The correct oil is not that thick so provided the air temperature is not freezing lightly warming the engine would suffice.
