Oil Filter Housing Bracket replacement to fix oil leak on my 2008 Audi A3

May 16, 2024 through May 21, 2024

I used this DIY article to help me https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Volkswagen_Golf_GTI_Mk_V/39-WATER-Replacing_Your_Oil_Cooler/39-WATER-Replacing_Your_Oil_Cooler.htm

I also used this article https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/fsi-bpy-oil-filter-housing-and-oil-cooler-gasket-replacement.9385559/

I found this YouTube video helpful too. https://youtu.be/4U4OFeU38mo

I removed the radiator fan and shroud assembly and drained the oil from the filter assembly.
I removed the turbo air pipe and intercooler hose, drained the coolant, removed two badly deteriorated coolant hoses going to the Auxiliary Water Pump and removed the Throttle valve.
I removed the Oil Cooler and the old Crankcase Breather hose.
I am having a little trouble removing the Oil Filter Bracket.
I finally removed the Oil Filter Bracket.
It looks like the oil leak is from the back of the bracket where the gasket is broken.
Installed a new Febi Bilstein 06F115397J Oil Filter Housing Bracket, Oil Cooler, and reconnected all the electrical connectors.
Drained coolant, and oil, Installed Pentofrost E G-13 coolant, and Installed Liqui Moly 5W40 Molygen Engine Oil.
I have the Throttle Valve to install to the Intake Manifold and also to install the Radiator Fans and Shroud.
It feels good to finish this job.
