    Question Oil Filter wrench caps ??

    Hello to all,
    Anyone know where to purchase those oil filter wrench caps ( ie those large shallow sockets to engage the 'keyed ' end of the filter.)
    Would be nice if one would fit both,
    Audi a4b8 2010 petrol and VW Golf Gti 2010 petrol.
    Regatds to all

    Bought mine on e-Bay back in March (for the TSI) but just did a search and cant find one for sale sorry. I remember it came from Singapore delivered for around $30

    Thank you Brian and Transporter,
    I can measure the Audi cap and check the 'new' Gti cap ( if we purchase), with a little luck they will be the same size.
    Regards
    John

    I've used a 3 leg / 3 jaw filter wrench with success - fits just about any filter.

    When I was fleet mechanicing (ie: the only mechanic in the workshop & the only one that ever worked on the cars), I rarely needed a filter wrench - they really shouldn' be done up tighter than what you can undo by hand.
