hello does anyone know what cup size for the oil filter housing? is it 14 flute or 18 flutes? 76mm or 86mm? thanks.

Use a 32mm socket on the top of the filter housing cap.

VAG have used various oil filter cap designs over the years from 30mm, 32mm 36mm, fluted etc. Can you not measure the cap or is it missing ?

32mm fits mine

+1 32mm and 25 Nm torque.

thanks thats great will try this
