Agreed. I’ve never been under a Mk2 Q7. “Crossmember blocking the drain” That is not cool. But then, neither is the oil filter located behind the intercooler crosspipe on a Mk1 TT. I’ve done that many many times. ( and it is always messy.)

I know it suck having the crossmember blocking the drain plug. On mine, I used a wide open oil pan, which I bought for 3 bucks. I did loose the drain plug little by little to prevent a high oil splash and spill. In the end it was a clean oil change except for the crossmember.
Mr. Patterson, I have drained the oil. I am ready to change the oil filter. I just need to double check with you whether I am looking at the correct oil filter housing in red and crankcase cap in yellow in the picture attached. Does the oil filter housing open clockwise? Thank you.
The tightening rotation of the filter cap is inscribed on the cap as well as torque applied!!!!
Hi. Everyone. Im looking for help on the oring. I have the same vehicle. But found a minor oil drip below the housing after driving. I have photo attached. Hope someone can tell me if the oring at the correct position.
