I’ll add a comment! The filter is ahead of the left rear whee under a heatshield. I used a mix of clamps and mole grips and protected with a chopped hose. 27mm spanner to remove. There’s 2 o rings in the filter kit. It took me a while to figure out where the smaller one went. On the plastic vent nipple. Looked like it had never been replace and had fused. OCD kicked in and I scraped it off. Not entirely happy I decided to remove the bleed screw with an impact! And of course it sheared the end of t he nipple off. Resolve with bodge. Hope that helps someone!
Our TDIs are exactly the same model and reg but mine has the older diesel filter. Did you feel any difference in performance at all? My a2 has a lack of oomf sometimes so I’m hoping it’s not the turbo 🙁. Fantastic video as always.

Great video, love my A2's
Thanks and have watched all of yours too. In between A2's at the moment but going to get a really good condition TDi
Thank you! I’ve just got a 52 pine green TDI so just getting it up to spec but by bit.

Yes I did as I've another project in the pipeline plus the A2 1.6 FSi to sort as well
Are there any covers to remove under the car to get to the filter housing?
There weren't any on mine
