Hi guys. I brought a new LWB T6 in July 2019. It's done 30,000km. Dealer is virus closed. Brought oil and filter today. 2.0 diesel CAAC 103kw and 340nm. They sold me 7 litres of oil and a cartridge filter. Can you please give me instructions where oil filter is etc and other relevant details as if I get it wrong I have no dealer to fix it. Plenty of past self maintenance experience on T4 but being careful here. Thanks guys.

- 140ps caac engine oil change
Interested in this. My van was booked in for a service and inspection, its saying 42 days or 1100 miles on the dash, but its been cancelled.
Mine is a Eu5 108 BitTdi, I will have to try this myself if I can get the oil and filters. Any suggestions? Thanks

This post might help, but note that I incorrectly quoted the sump plug torque as 10Nm - IIRC it should be 25/30Nm.

Get 8 and you’ll have a bit for topping up! Difference may be whether you change the filter or not. New oil old filter is an opportunity missed IMHO.
I’ve used quantum longlife 3 available via the dealers and TPS if they’ll serve you, so VW approved oil.

Thanks mate for the reply I got quantum oil from tps and all the filters got 10l of it just changed it and put 7.2 in have changed filter but I read somewhere it was 7 then read somewhere 7.4 it’s at the top of checkered section of dipstick but then they is little notch a few mill above that I think that must be maximum don’t want to over fill it lol
have you ever done fuel filter one with 4 pipes was going to fill new filter with diesel first then prime a few times on ignition to get it going but again read you need to run pump though the Vcds program
thanks for your help
Why won’t anyone change the oil filter at the same time as an oil change?
It dose not make sense to me if your changing oil the expensive part of the job y not do oil filter at the same time they r not expensive to buy I do know some one who changes his oil twice a year but the filter only once lol

Remember you should check it when the engine is hot and left for 15 mins for oil to drain back down.
If it's at the top of the checkered area when cold it will be right on the limit when expanded and hot.
Our 140 engine takes 7L with a filter change.
I’ve read opening the drivers door primes the fuel system.
What @Paynewright said - that worked for me.
Lol thank every one so fill fuel filter up
Much as possible then lock and unlock and open drivers door a few times thanks kirk
I didn’t even fill it up.
