Its sitting upside down in this photo. The sump with the 6 bolts is the oil filter screen. VW had no external oil filter. The block is made out of magnesium so its worth some change. 1600cc engine. _____________________________ " Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason" Samuel Clemens (in reply to sandrajoan22) Post #: 12
