Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Compatibility Check: Verify that the filter is compatible with your Audi model (TT 8N3, 8N9 1.8 or S3 8L1 1.8). Use the make model tool mentioned in the product description, or consult with a professional.
- Preparation: Gather necessary tools (wrench, oil drain pan) and new engine oil.
- Removal: Locate the old oil filter and oil drain plug. Place the drain pan under the drain plug and remove it to drain the old oil.
- Filter Installation: Unscrew the old filter. Lightly lubricate the gasket of the new Bosch filter with fresh oil before installing it. Screw the new filter on by hand until the gasket makes contact, then tighten it according to the filter's instructions (usually 3/4 to 1 full turn).
- Oil Refill: Replace the drain plug and tighten it to the correct torque. Refill the engine with the correct type and amount of oil as specified in your vehicle's manual.
- Check for Leaks: Start the engine and check for any oil leaks around the filter and drain plug. If there are leaks, tighten the filter or plug as needed.
*Care*: Regularly check the oil level and change the filter at the recommended intervals.
