[Vwdiesel] vacuum pump oil change question

[Matt_Lisa]

On the Golf it's a series of T-25 (?) screws all around the pan.  If I remember correctly, there are 10 of them, though there could be a few more.  I usually just put the Golf on ramps, remove all the screws, and slide the pan off.  The plug is right under it.  It's funny,  don't really think about how many screws there are or what size the head is, since I just grab the right tool and pull all the screws out.  It's not something you pay much attention to.

I kinda like the filter design on the Golf TDI.  I like the whole cartridge design, in that there's less waste.  Good stuff!
