How to replace the oil filter and engine oil of the Volkswagen Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Engine oil

Today we will see how to replace the oil filter and motor oil of the Volkswagen Tiguan mk1 model on our own. We open the front hood and remove the oil tank cap, lift the front of the vehicle and place a container under the oil pan. We unscrew the oil pan bolt and let the oil drain into the container. We tighten the oil pan bolt with a wrench at the end. We disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the oil filter cap with a 32mm socket wrench and replace it. We lower the vehicle to the ground and pour the new motor oil into the tank.

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part. The new part can then be secured and connected properly, ensuring it is correctly fixed in place.
