That worked.
Since then I ordered the part and am buying a few tools and tire fix.
Just saying hello and sharing my first experience but I also want to ask:
Can a standard oil change, tranny flush place be trusted to do my first fluid changes? I've never used dealerships.
Welcome to the forum!
These cars require certain types of fluids.
The most recommended engine oil filter is Mann HU 718/5x fleece oil filter.
The manufacturer recommended engine oil is Mobil 1 European Car Formula 0W-40.
Transmission oil depends on weather it's a manual or an automatic. These can be found by using the search bar in the right corner.
It's not hard to these, but if you're going to have it done for you have an independent European shop do it as previously stated.
Good luck!
