Proper 2006 TDi A3 Oil Filter Removal Tool

[_a3sport]

Oil filter cap is seized on (i.e. won't loosen with just 32mm nut). I've been advised there is a proper Audi part which does the 32mm nut and also locates with the recesses further down the filter cap (see first pic here to understand Finally changed the oil in my 3.2 TT - instructions inside (BWW) - AudiWorld Forums).

Anyone know if this is true or what the part number is?

Thanks.

Just put some elbow grease into it, they do sometimes need more effort to release.

32mm nut is already pretty chewed, the fear is any more force and it breaks.

Alternative is to cut a thickish slot down the middle of the nut head & use a flat piece of metal to turn it enough to be able to undo with a socket afterwards, then bin it & fit a new cap.

Cheers, I'll buy a new cap first and give it a go.
