Ok I really hate changing my oil, everytime i end up with a mess, today was no exception.
The problem is with the oil filter, it's a real PIA to take off i can't fit a tool to take it off, and is tight as hell i always end up taking a screwdriver and putting it thru the oil filter, today to my surprise the oil filter came off with just my hands, I said "finally" NOT!!! once again my vw got the best of me, the oil filter came off with the entire screw thing that goes thru the oil cooler (i guess that is an oil cooler), so i ended up with the oil filter attached to the oil cooler, after fighting with it i finally got everything apart so i put back the screw atached the oil cooler to the block and attached the new oil filter again everything as tight as i can with my hand's cos there is no way I can use a tool here. of course after putting the oil in i started the car, and yes, i was leaking oil thru the shortblock and oil cooler joint really bad. Does an o-ring go between the block and oil cooler?? if so whats the part number? what i can do any suggestions, anyone has a simpler, more easy, less messy way to change the oil, now I can't use my car cos there are no stores around and tomorrow i will go to the yunkyards and learn and get what i can from there, im going to see if i can take a closer look to an engine while there. Do all these cames in the bentley? Sorry for my english but being mad and translating from spanish to english is the best i can do.
