Re: Oil and oil filter check
HI Guys, in case anyone else is planning on doing an extractor oil change, I managed it. The Pela extractor has wider tubes than some other models, so they wouldn't fit into the dipstick tube of the Polo. I thought I'd try my luck and purchased a slimmer PTFE semi-rigid tube (4mm outside diameter, 2...

Re: Oil and oil filter check
Brilliant, thanks.
I was tempted to try it in the oil filler and you've just confirmed it's at least worth a shot. Anything that saves me getting down and dirty is a blessing!

Re: Oil and oil filter check
Thanks for the quick reply. Aw shucks, it sounds like I might have to do it the painful way. My extractor has three different sized tubes and even the slimmest one won't fit through the plastic dipstick holder. I can push it in a few inches but there's no way it'll ever reach the sump. Does the plas...

Re: Oil and oil filter check
Hi all, First-time poster here. I want to do an oil change on my nephew's Polo GTi. I have an oil extractor but the tube is too thick to go down the dipstick hole. Is there another orifice I should be using?! To anyone who has done an oil extractor/suction oil change, how have you done it? Cheers, T...
