Thank you so much, after 10 years and 310k miles of ownership I will service my 1.2 TDI BlueMotion for the first time.

I have started servicing my car for the first time and your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you so much.

Thank you, I needed this.😊

Excellent video! When the oil filter is unscrewed, oil will drain out of the filter housing down into the sump so don't replace the sump plug till after the new filter is fitted. Also, I recommend getting the top of a soap dispenser, pushing a bit of pipe onto the pickup tube and it using to suck the small pool of oil out of the filter housing when the filter is removed. Well done on using Mann filters, excellent quality brand.

Thank you! I’ve stopped bothering as much with removing every bit of oil because it’s actually nothing compared to what is left in the engine. If you had the sump removed you’d probably find another half litre of oil would drain out overnight.

Great vid, do you have to prime the fuel filter or can you just start the car up? Cheers

Thanks Rhys, I have always got away without priming, cycling the ignition a few times works as long as the car has a pre-delivery pump in the fuel tank.

For the cabin filter, the air flow is from the passenger side (left) to the driver side (right)..rit..? Kindly check if the installation was correct..

Away from the motor and towards the matrix so that does sound correct.

What about 2nd fuel filter that is located under the fuel tank, in front of right back wheel? The Volkswagen says it should be replaced every 3rd service, so just want to hear your experience with that? Thanks! PS. Very useful video 👍🏼

thanks for the video, very informative. are you sure it's actually 4.3L of oil, because i have read that it's 2.8L but that might be for gasoline engines.

I have just brought a Vw polo 1.2 tdi 2012 ,would this have a dual mass fly wheel ? As there’s a knocking noise on the engine ,but when you press the clutch it stops ,

Does the car have to be level when you drain the engine oil or can it be on it side because I only have 1 jack ?

It doesn’t need to be level, you’ll just need it to be level when checking the level of the oil afterwards.
