Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement on Volkswagen Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan BW, MK 2, AD - Years 2016-2025
Part: Oil filter

Lift the car and secure it. Remove the lower cover from the engine bay and undo the bolt that acts as a plug for the oil sump drain hole, draining the oil into a container (dispose of it correctly at recycling points). Now move to the top of the bay and remove the cover, then undo the Torx bolts of the line (clearly shown in the video) that prevent access to the oil filter. Using a 32 mm spanner, undo the oil filter, taking care not to spill oil everywhere (use rags). Close the drain hole, insert the new filter, and refill the engine oil.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
