Good evening
I bought a Seat Ibiza IV 1.6 TDI 90 from 2011.
I wanted to do my oil change, everything was ok, until the moment of removing the oil filter… The latter came out of its tank but I had the unpleasant surprise of seeing the rod (call Cover, oil filter housing), broken. Worse, the bottom of this rod is stuck in the tank and it is impossible to remove it, it does not even move a little.
I didn't think that a simple oil change could turn into a big problem... so if this has happened to someone, can you tell me how you solved it?
Thank you in advance
Hello, the lifespan of the oils is around 20,000km but it also depends on the use of your vehicle.
If you do a lot of city driving, it is advisable to do oil changes more frequently than a car that does a lot of highway driving. I can only advise you to do one especially if it was done more than 2 years ago.
Hello, I have a Seat Ibiza 1.9D from 98, the last oil change was done at 246,000 km, it now has 260,000, can I wait a little longer to do my oil change?
Good tutorial, however I would like to know which ratchet extension was used.
It was a standard extension of my box, it must be about 30 cm. A smaller one may be enough.
