  Q: How to change the engine oil and the Oil Filter in 1.8L 4-cylinder engines on Audi TT Quattro?

  A:

  After warming the engine to operating temperature, turn off the ignition and apply the parking brake. You can either use a lift or hoist or else raise the vehicle and support it on jackstands or ramps. Remove the lower sound absorber panel and place a suitable drain pan under the engine. Remove the drain plug from the back of the oil pan and allow the oil to drain into the pan. After the oil has completely drained, install and tighten the drain plug, which has a permanent seal and must always be replaced. The filter flange, which is on the front of the engine, connects the engine oil filter to an oil cooler. It is underneath the vehicle. With an oil filter wrench, loosen the oil filter and remove it. This allows oil to drain from the cooler and flange assembly. Both 180-hp and 225-hp engines have similar oil filter set-ups. As soon as the oil drains stops, clean the sealing surface on the oil cooler and apply a light film of clean oil to the gasket on the oil filter. Thread the oil filter on the oil cooler mounting stud and tighten it by hand. Tighten the oil filter to specification by using a suitable tool. Ensure to fill the engine with oil that has the correct viscosity and rating. Fill to approximately one litre less than the amount listed in the engine oil capacity tables. Once the vehicle has been lowered and is at zero-degree level, start the engine and let it idle until the temperature goes close to 60° C (140° F) and switch off ignition. After waiting for approximately 3 minutes, check the dipstick and fill to the MAX mark carefully. To prevent damage or failure of the turbocharger, the engine should only be run at idle until the oil pressure light goes out. It should NOT be revved or accelerated. Afterwards, the oil filter and drain plug area should be checked for leaks. Once the engine is off, refit the lower sound absorber panel and remove the vehicle from the jackstands or ramps (don't forget to set the handbrake to stop it from rolling). Dispose of used oil, oily rags, and the filter properly.
