Pd130 oil filter housing bolts...

[propagandazoo]

I have a PD130 and because of access the oil housing bolts look like they need a long 12 point socket especially bottom right...not sure on size of bolt or socket? Or is there a VW tool?

The 12 point bolts have an Allen Key interior but torqued way past that option.

Trying to get at speed sensor... Any tips appreciated.

Update I used a combination of 12 point 3/4 and 1/4 sockets and extension bars and the housing is now off. Bottom right is the most awkward...Also removed faulty speed sensor.

I understand people reuse the bolts despite guidance to always replace... but what about the gasket (it looks undamaged imo)?
