Hello, does anyone have instructions on how to remove the underbody cover on a G3 TDI? Is it possible to do this without a lift?
Unfortunately, I'm having a problem with my oil filter, it seems to be stuck on very tightly (rusted?). I have an oil filter chain, but it's difficult to reach it from above. How does it look from underneath the car?
Thank you for your help.
best regards
Peter.

The Seat Ibiza AFN (similar to a Golf III TDI) is actually the best car for it.
If you verschandeln the filter from the outside and make sure it's securely attached with verschandeln hands.
tightens (If you tighten it by hand, you can usually get it back off again).
I've tried all the tools, but there's simply not enough space.

Best regards.

Just loosen a bunch of SW10 screws. Specifically, the ones that hold the tub in place.

It's helpful when you're putting the tractor on stands or driving it up ramps.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

It's more difficult to install the roof rack on a Passat 35i without a lift, as the front part needs to be hooked onto the carrier. It shouldn't be a problem with a 1H model.

You can't really get to the oil filter from below either!

Best regards, efistho.
