Which TDI is it 1.9, 2.0 1.4bhp (BKD engine) or 2.0 170BHp (BKM)

The MK5 TDI is pretty easy to self service, have a look at some of the videos on Youtube for guidance.

The Mk4 130 1.9 is even simpler than the mkv bkd - have plenty info on both and can email you all you need to do the jobs yourself!

Cheers

I know on the bkd engine its a 32mm shallow socket you need to get the oil filter out.
