Thanks for all your help and yes the diagram is the one. VW dealers actually gave me the torque figures for the oil filter housing...4 bolts 10mm heads 8Nm - 15Nm and then plus 90 degrees on the wrench These are stretch bolts.....Oil pump housing to engine block, the tin gasket needs to have the rig...

Thanks for the reply Big F. But I did not mean the oil can but the breather housing that bolts to the engine block and holds the oil filter.
Then there is the water controlled oil cooler that bolts to that. ALT 2.0 Petrol engine.

Needed badly...Torque wrench setting for the Oil filter housing on my 2.0 20v petrol Alt engine ( Flat tin gasket)
antifreeze and water was pouring from it. Thanks Ivor

Hi there, I have a 2003 2.0 petrol saloon.ALT code ...Could you let me know if it will run ok on the new petrol which is coming out in september I think. Our fuel is 5% ethanol at the moment, changing to 10%....some cars will not run properly on the new stuff. The 5% fuel will still be available at ...

Why do my side repeaters always fill with bad condensation, have changed them once and they still do it.
Could it be a loose push fitting on the bulb fixing? Have tried sealing it but just the same. (2003 Passat saloon) They look shoddy like that.
Thanks bluealt

On my way to GSF now....good idea.

:oops: Dont laugh...Bought some aftermarket front brake calipers,ate copies,very good and I am pleased with them. Problem was I gave the caliper spring a tweak to tighten it a little to stop pad rattle....this pulled the caliper closer to the disc, and caused the disc to rub the inside of the calipe...

That would be C3 Gaz

I am getting 35.3 mpg local, and 40+ on a run for my 2.0 20v saloon....very light footed though for this mpg. This with the 5w/40.
You only have 4 litres of oil in the engine, 5w/30 is too thin at temperature and would help it to burn oil more. (ALT engine)
Hope this helps.

Castrol Magnatech 5w/40

That would be 5w/40 then fully synthetic...5w/30 is too thin for an ALT petrol engine.

No sir,
Double filament bulb, But only half the bulb is used, check and see. I couldnt believe it myself, staggard pin bulb.

Hello all, Was caught out with a blown stop light bulb the other day, found that if you swap the two top bulbs around everything works a treat. reason being, the second bulb down only uses one of the double filoments and not the stop one. Petty post I know....but useful when you have no spare. Mines...

Have found a permanent way of fixing the air recirculation flap for good, and its so easy. My car is a 2003 passat 2.0 20v, but the climatronic unit with air con is the same for most vw cars around that year. It was clicking and making all sorts of noises and driving me nuts. As follows. Make sure t...

Your car with that vin no should be 16mm. I have just bought a set on ebay (Lemforder for £390,but much cheaper complete sets can be had for arount £130. My car a b5.5 has only done 56,000 from new hence I have stored the more expensive option. The 20mm joints were the older type which suprised me.
