Hi folks, im giving the a2 an oil and filter change, saving money and doin it mi sen. Got the plastic cover off ready, is the sump plug the bolt on the near side off the motor or the large allen bolt in the middle? Also the oil filter, its a 2000 1.4, is the filter a screw on type or is it a filament? Im guessing its the 14 or 15mm bolt, if so what is the large allen bolt for? Any help would be great;)
 
The sump nut on petrol 1.4 is around the back of the sump. If your under car and looking up it will be obvious to you.

Remove the oil filter with a strap wrench or a 30mm spanner / socket head.

– Open the oil drain plug.
– Clean sealing surface for oil filter at engine.
– Lightly lubricate rubber seal.
– Screw in new filter and tighten.
– Screw in oil drain plug with new seal.

Tighten filter to 20Nm with torque wrench
Tighten sump nut to 30Nm with torque wrench
