Can someone tell me where the oil filter is located on the 2006/2007 Passat 2.0T? I searched topside & underneath and can't find it? Have you ever changed one?

Hello
The oil filters on the 3C passat's are now paper element type and are located in the housing under the black plastic cap on the front of the engine with the 30mm nut on top
Hope this helps Chris

Thanks guys. Actually I found it through a tip from a local auto parts dealer. I did the oil/filter change.

Now I'm wondering why they went back to the replaceable cartridge insert. Reminds me of way back when (50's vintage cars).
