Oil filter VR6
It is necessary to change the oil filter at the time specified in the operating instructions when changing engine oil or at each major overhaul of the Transporter T4 .
As already mentioned, the dismantling of the oil filter is different, as it has a different design. ♦ With a container under the car under the oil filter, remove the bolts from the underside of the filter.
Let all engine oil drain. ♦ Unscrew the filter cover using the appropriate wrench.
You can try to unscrew the cover by grasping it with both hands. ♦ Remove the cover and remove the filter element.
On the bottom side of the filter housing there is an o-ring, which must be replaced during assembly. Thoroughly wash the filter cover from the inside with gasoline. ♦ Place a new O-ring into the groove of the filter cover, insert the filter element and install the filter cover together with the element onto the housing.
Tighten the cover bolt, tightening torque 30 Nm, although it is almost impossible to use a torque wrench in this place. ♦ Mount the screws on the underside of the filter housing with a new washer and tighten them, tightening torque 15 Nm.
♦ If you have only changed the filter, add one liter of engine oil.
If you changed all the engine oil, then the total amount of oil is 6 liters. After starting the engine, check and, if necessary, add oil. Start the engine and let it run at frequency XX. ♦ Check the tightness of all joints.
♦ Tighten the filter housing mounting bolts to 25 Nm.
