[Vwdiesel] vw mk2 jetta TD oil filter removal

Alternatively when you next change need to change your filter, timing belt or alternator, {or exhaust for that matter}:

GET A QUANTUM :o)

On my 91 jetta, I can get it out the bottom with no mess. I move the power
steering lines out of the way. If you are looking at the bottom of the
engine from below, there is a little extra room to the right side over by
the power steering pump where you can slide it down between the front of the
engine and body section. I also use Mann filters, they have the extra piece
on the bottom of the filter that you can use a screw driver to help loosen
the filter with, pretty neat idea since you can only loosen and not tighten
the filter.

I have to unscrew, move laterally a bit and then turn upright and bring
out a few inches over. I always attributed it to the car being hit before I
got it (couldn't tell it's been fixed). I think I took the PS pump off and
dropped it down the first couple times then found I could do as recommended,
poke a hole, let it drain then move it over. Still have to force the PS
hoses a bit out of the way but beats pulling the pump off every 5,000 miles!

I have a 1991 vw jetta turbodiesel with A/C and power steering and big
bumpers. 
decided to change the oil and filter. I had to drive it halfway up some
ramps o gain access to the oil pan plug. I got the oil pan drained, and
removed the il filter, but.....I cannot get the oil filter out from between
the front of he pan, the front engine mount and the power steering lines. I
even broke the ower plastic gate on the radiator flap getting the filter
wrench on to loosen he filter. Do I have to remove the front engine mount or
do I have to use a ack on the engine to be able to get the oil filter out
and in? Bentley does not elp on this. Any ideas?
