I want to remove the oil filter cap on my 2004 1.9 L jetta tdi.
What socket size do I need, thanks.

Most use a 76 mm, 14 flute oil filter wrench... If you ever get down to the U.S., an AutoZone "B" cap wrench is about $5... If there's a Lordco store near you, it's p/n 70783... about C$8...FlyTDI Guy said:Should be 74mm though many would say 76mm.
This one is steel and will likely never fail me. I actually use a torque wrench to be sure I don't over tighten it. (my hand can provide more than enough force!)ymz said:Most use a 76 mm, 14 flute oil filter wrench... If you ever get down to the U.S., an AutoZone "B" cap wrench is about $5...

PS: as far as putting it on too tight... I could swear that the squirrels sneak in there when I'm not looking and tighten it down...
