Just gave this another thumbs up, but the thumbs down icon went up one click.
Damned annoying. Very good video. Thank you guys.

If you want to remove ALL the old oil from the engine then the bottom of the oil cooler housing has to be removed, this is located beneath oil filter housing. Remove lower engine shield then locate oil cooler which is above cross member, be aware, this item, which is similar to the upper cap of oil filter, is not easy to remove due to restricted access, once removed about 300cc of dirty oil can be emptied, this job is not for the faint hearted so approach with caution and obtain advice.

The good old way with draining out the pan seemed better to me. I suspect that this way you will not get out all the impurities that gather down there in the pan.

I use the Pella 6000 for my Jetta TDI … the Pella can be found at any Boating Supply Store (boaters use them to extract motor oil because there is no drain plug on most inboard motors in boats) I paid $40.00 bucks for mine … paid for it’self after two oil changes ..

What a mess. VW had BP design the lubrication system.

CarMaintenanceGuy says:

Why do we have to hit 36k miles to see a 2012 Passat TDI oil change video?

myturbodieseldotcom says:

Then let me see your car….

Plus, the first 3 oil changes are included in the US. I haven’t heard of anyone with more than 36k miles yet.

CarMaintenanceGuy says:

Very cool. How come there are no videos for the 2012 Passat TDI?

bestowlight says:

can I use the extractor without the compressed air? And just pump it out by hand?
Great video thanks

happydays1986896 says:

is this the same for a audi a6 2 litre diesel thanks

gosiagosiagosiaify says:

yes there is a mnaual version called something like a palela 6000

maemaisagat says:

How much is that oil extractor and who is the producer? Is there a manual version? THX

monkey0060 says:

Hi,
Nice video. Can you comment on any advantages/disadvantages on the two methods of removing the oil.
Also, could you recommend a video or book for changing the oil in a 2012 A3TDI? I have not been able to locate a shop manual for the 2012 A3 TDI.
Thank you
