EU6 150 CXHA Engine Oil Change

[ZipcodeUK]

Yeah, what PJ said. It's not for the faint hearted though and you need to really READ the instructions and safety guides before even considering to play with it. Have a look in here too for what others are doing : VCDS / VAGCOM Information & Requests

Goodpoint ZipcodeUK, in the wrong hands you can do more harm than good.

Mate, thats exactly what I needed to read! A simple solution, tested it, worked like a charm... awesome!!

I'm fairly sure it tells you how to reset the inspection and oil change notifications in the owners manual too. I was bored one day and decided to read it!

If you look from above down between the battery and the engine towards the back you can see the top of the filter housing , at least thats what i though anyway...may be wrong
Crap picture but center of shot ?

Changed my engine oil & filter yesterday.
Sequence (follow this entirely at your own risk....):
- Remove undertray - 6 bolts, 13mm socket.
- Drive van to get oil up to temp.
- Release oil filler cap.
- Remove sump drain plug - 19mm socket - leave oil draining.
- Remove oil filter drain - centre of oil filter housing cap. It will drain without hitting any items.
- Remove oil filter housing cap when housing has finished draining - 32mm socket.
- Remove old filter and both of the cap seals - replace all with new bits.
- Lubricate filter cap O rings with fresh oil.
- Refit oil filter housing drain in cap - don't over-tighten, just needs to be nipped up.
- Refit housing cap with new filter installed - hand tight then torque to 25Nm.
- Refit sump drain plug with new sealing washer - I actually fitted a new magnetic drain plug. Torque to 10Nm.
- Fill engine with fresh oil - 7.4 litres.
- Run engine & check for leaks.
- Refit undertray - and feel smug about a job well done.

Hi, are you certain the torque for the sump plug is just 10nm, I have see other places 30nm?

I also have the 140bhp model if that is different?

The CAAC 140bhp engine is definitely 30Nm.

Can anyone recommend a magnetic sump plug.......or, now don't laugh........would it be possible to magnetize the standard plug?????

I'm very happy with these. Gold Plug LLC - Magnetic Drain Plugs
That is until the dealer throws it away at a service despite being told about it.....

Not the T6, but on my old Landy, I have the magnet from an old hard drive attached to the sump plug. It confused the MoT tester the first time he saw it.

 

[Loz]

I have one for my T6 but the dealer refused to fit it for "warranty " reasons

Just changing my oil today, pulled the plug and found a lump of tar like substance stuck to the magnet. It would seem to be doing its job.



It also pi$$es me off that nowhere in the owners manual that I can see, does it say how much oil this thing takes, really??!!
CXHA Oil Capacity 7.4 litres with filter change.

There seems to be a presumption that no one does / should do their own servicing, so why would we need to worry our pretty little heads with dealer only secrets?
Page 244 basically says you need to be a 'qualified workshop' to change the oil, 'due to the special tools and knowledge required' So there it is, we're not allowed to service our own vans!
1 litre of VW 507.00 for top ups is all us van users 'need' to know!

I assumed the oil capacity would be around 7 - 8 litres, so that's reassuring to know when I change mine in 10K.

 

[Pps]

What oil is right for the 150 manual please

I'd be getting a little bit twitchy if I pulled that from my engine. Are you going to stretch out the filter to see how much non ferrous deposits are being collected?

 

[Grim Reaper]

Engine only has 9500 miles on it, last oil change was about 4000 ago, 0W-30 Shell Helix AV-L synthetic, The paper filter is reasonably clean.

I suppose the only saving grace is that you’ve caught that on the magnet, so it’s not circulating.
