Oil Change Instructions

For VW 1.9 TDI

Created by DeafBug

This document provides instructions on changing the oil and filter on a VW 1.9 TDI engines.

All the pictures here are taken from my 2001 New Beetle with automatic transmission. Golfs

and Jettas are slightly different from the images. And manual transmissions have a full cover on

the belly pan. Automatics have a cutout on the belly pan. It exposes the transmission. There is a

drain plug readily visible that a quick lube place can be confused about. I have heard stories that

they remove it and a dark red fluid comes out. You do not want this to happen as you canÓt drive

it. You will have to have it towed to the dealership. Or you can do it yourself with instructions

written by Drivbiwire to deal with it. You can find the ATF change instructions on the TDIClub.

Alright letÓs get going. First of all, you want a warm to hot engine. Then you want to put the car

on ramps. I guess we should cover the materials first.

Materials:

VW approved oil (not necessary to have VW stamp on it but meets or exceeds rating.)

Rags or paper towels.

Latex gloves or similar disposable gloves

Oil filter (It should include two O rings)

Crush washer (optional on older engines)

Torx T-25 driver for belly pan

19mm socket for oil drain plug

10mm socket for engine cover.

10mm wrench for engine cover (Beetles only)

Small screwdriver for engine cover caps

Torque wrench to tighten drain plug

Needle nose pliers to remove O rings

76mm x 14 flute oil wrench (helpful otherwise an oil wrench strap will do. BTW, a

74mm will not fit. 76 will fit but it can slip if at slight angle.)

Funnel to help pour oil (optional but it is helpful on a Beetle)

Oil drain pan (need to catch oil coming out)

Turkey baster (optional)

With the car on the ramps, crawl under or slide under if you have a creeper and remove all torx

screws that are holding the belly pan. (Note: there is nothing wrong with my belly pan. It is all one perfect

piece. I donÓt know why the picture appears to have part of it appearing to be ripped off. Honestly.)

With the belly pan removed, I normally push it back so that it is under the front seats.

The silver aluminum part on the left side of the picture is the oil pan. The black part on the right

side is the cover for the transmission filter pan. The dirty part in-between is the transmission,

where the flywheel housing is.

Now pop the hood, if you have an engine cover, it will need to be removed. Use the small

screwdriver and remove the round caps. Beetles only have two of them. Golfs and Jettas have 3

of them. With a 10mm socket, remove the nuts in the cover. ) Notice the green circles in

picture below.

Beetles owners, use a 10mm wrench and loosen the nut on the back end of the engine cover.

(Note: it may already been loosen as most people/mechanics initially loosen it and leave it alone.

If you canÓt remove the cover after remove the two 10mm nuts then you need to loosen it.)

Remove the cover.

Jetta and Golf owners, there is a clip holding a black cloth-covered tubing near the back nut.

Unclip the tubing. Remove the cover.

Sorry about the dirty cover. I normally leave it off. I just put it on to take a picture and I didnÓt

want to clean it up. (It will get dirty anyway. J )

The oil filter housing is the one with the green circle. Use the flute oil wrench or strap to remove

it. I suggest having paper towels and/or paper bag next to it. Once you have loosened the cap

completely, pick it up and allow the oil to drip from it before you move it.

Set it somewhere as you will work on it.

This step is optional. You need a turkey baster for this. Otherwise go to the next page.

Notice the difference between the picture above and below. Use the baster to suck up the oil and

dump it in the middle hole. It will drain to the pan. Oh yeah, there is plenty of oil there. There is

a deep hole at the 6 oÓclock position that you want to get it out. And a small hole in the 10

oÓclock position.
