Strong, attractive all aluminum oil filter housing replacement for plastic OE housing
Replace that fragile OEM plastic oil filter housing with a strong, attractive all aluminum housing from ECS Tuning.

Far stronger (and way better looking) than the original, the ECS housing requires no special tool to open the drain plug during an oil change; all you'll need is a common 8 mm Allen wrench. For added convenience, the housing plug copper sealing ring is identical to the one on the crankcase drain plug, making it easy to source and install new seals for a leak-free job.

Use a 36 mm socket to unscrew the housing from the engine (Schwaben 3/8 inch-drive 36mm socket -- P/N ES240945).

Remove the old filter, and install a new one.

Replace the rubber housing oil ring with the new o-ring contained in the filter kit.

Screw the housing/filter on to the engine, and torque to 18 foot pounds. Reinstall the drain plug with new copper ring, and hand tighten.

Add engine oil.

That's it. No more cracked housings. No more oil spills on your garage floor. No need for a special drain plug tool. No more plastic drain plugs mangled by adjustable pliers.

Did we mention that this superior replacement housing costs less than the dealer retail price? Talk about a no-brainer.

Application Notes: Fits 2.0T FSI MKV, Golf R, EOS FSI, B7 A4, A3 TSI and the early 2.5 MKV

  • Either that car has different wheels on both sides... or someones playing trickery

  • @lmprider92 You are right, there are two different wheels on the car. We do this to get different car looks when shooting photography shots outdoors.
