Do I need to extract from the dipstick hole? My Audi Q5 does not seem to have a dipstick - can I use the crankcase oil opening instead

You don't mention the engine you have but there is a dipstick hole on the Audi 3.0L engine if that is what you have in your Q5 - just no dipstick in it. It has a red plug in it that is removable. It is on the front right side (driver side) of the engine. Remove the red cap and remove the oil from there. That's how Audi does it now too. Good luck.

Yes, in fact I own an Abarth which is what I bought these filters for... You may want to read up on the Fiat forum about doing the filter change. The instructions in the shop manual are overly complex. I didn't have to remove anything, though I had to loosen one electrical connector so it could swing out of the way. You want to run a long set of extensions (I choked the 1/2" drive 27mm socket down to 3/8" and ran two long 3/8" extensions so I could use the ratchet outside of the engine compartment. Don't torque the filter back on too tightly. Only 18 foot lbs. Also loosen the filter housing a couple of turns before draining the oil. All the oil in the housing will then drain out and it is a pretty clean process. Wrap a paper towel around the housing before taking it out and you should be fine... &lt;TED&gt;

A filter wrench BUT they don't give one - I used an auto oil filter wrench. Tap Master is crap. Maybe a male friend can open it.Go to pureearth.comSorry so late in reply

Tried installing it on my 2010 Q5, but the top hooks seem to be resting on the spoiler (plastic) and not the steel trunk door. Not sure if this is correct - and I don't want to risk ripping off the spoiler. Were these installs done using the hooks or the hatch anchors?

No separate and the oil comes with it, mowed 4x does not use much oil, all u gotta do is add gas and pour the oil in the oil hole and check the dipstick. 1 pull still

Hi, I do not know if it would work on your Audi. However, when this occurs in any of my two VWs and a Toyota I do the following: Press and hold the right button. (odometer reset) now switch on the ignition (oil lamp will not flash, but on at all times) press the right button again (insp is now displayed) pull left button. (clock set) (------ are now displayed) Pull left button again If not, go to youtube and they may have a reset. Good luck.

Sound like you don't have it at the base circle of the cam. start on the Front Cylinder, install intake and exhaust, wait for bleed down, then move to the rear cylinder and install those two, you will have to spin the wheel to get it to the base circle. Did you start with new tappet? Did you pre soak them for 48 hours in oil prior to install?This is a great video and its what i followed and it worked great.http://youtu.be/8jqJck0vQRwIf you have more questions, look up hdforums.com, lots of guys that are willing to help.

The RPM leads connect to ground and one of the two inputs in the ignition coil (the instructions tell you how to decide which one). Unfortunately my car has a distributor-coil assembly that is encased and there is no easy access to the coil input contacts. I tried buying a magnetic pick up and using that around the spark plug cable (the old fashion way!), but its too noisy and you can't get an accurate reading. So I have not been able to use it for RPM readings, which is the main reason I bought it.

Honestly, the best thing to do is pull the radio. The red connector that you see in the picture will go behind the radio and and the rest of it behind the glovebox. There is a DIY to pull the radio so do that first, check for connector then order this part. With that being said I have seen many people say it works and for me it works great.

Yes you can, the cord is a little thick but if you push hard enough the glove box will close. Since I'm buying my Q5, I cut a little groove into the INSIDE of the glove box to allow it to close easier. You can't tell from from the outside of the glove box. I hope this answers your question.

The advert states, "No tools needed.", but I use an adjustable wrench or pliers for the last little turn - barely more than hand tightening. You are just exchanging the oil pan caps. About half the time, I can't remove the ShureDrain cap and use pliers.

Audi made an adapter harness for it, part #8E0971671. You should be able to buy it anywhere that sells OEM Audi parts.

So do I. I do not know. Tool still starts well and works good so I just work around the excess oil. Better a tad too much than not enough.

The Cayman does not have a dipstick, it is electronically measured. Even if it did Porsche does not advise using the oil suction method on their sports cars because of the boxer/flat engine design.
