2001 VW Beetle 1.9 TDI Oil Change Instructions
This documents will guide you how to change oil and filer on a VW New Beetel with a 1.9 TDI engines. All pictures on this document are taken from 2001 VW new Beetle with automatic transmission, if you have WV golfs or Jettas it might have slighty different from the images. Materials that you need to doing this procedure are: VW approved oil, Rags or paper towels. Latex gloves or similar disposable gloves, Oil filter (It should include two O rings), Torque wrench to tighten drain plug, Small screwdriver for engine cover caps, Oil drain pan (need to catch oil coming out), etc. Here’s the step by step instructions: With the car on the ramps, crawl under or slide under if you have a creeper and remove all torx screws that are holding the belly pan. With the belly pan removed, I normally push it back so that it is under the front seats. Now pop the hood, if you have an engine cover, it will need to be removed. Use the small screwdriver and remove the round caps. Beetles only have two of them. Golfs and Jettas have 3 of them. With a 10mm socket, remove the nuts in the cover. ) Notice the green circles in picture below. Beetles owners, use a 10mm wrench and loosen the nut on the back end of the engine cover. (Note: it may already been loosen as most people/mechanics initially loosen it and leave it alone. If you can’t remove the cover after remove the two 10mm nuts then you need to loosen it.) Remove the cover. Beetles owners, use a 10mm wrench and loosen the nut on the back end of the engine cover. Jetta and Golf owners, there is a clip holding a black cloth-covered tubing near the back nut. Unclip the tubing. Remove the cover.
