Oil filter housing gasket

[DsgDame]

Anyone has a write up on how to change the oil filter housing gasket on a 2018 Audi s5 sportback?

It's not that difficult. Just work the old one off. I put a little oil on the new one and then carefully work it into the correct position, taking care to not stretch or damage it.

This is a pretty easy replacement. I had a leak a few months back, I ended up buying the entire oil filter housing assembly vs just the gasket. It was little more money but I only wanted to do it once.

You will need a 6” T30 to get at the 6 bolts. I bought new bolts, they were a couple bucks each.

You will need to remove the oil feed line on the top of the turbo. NONE of the coolant lines to the turbo need to be removed. There is one vacuum line on the turbo you will need to remove. reference this video to see some of the components around the oil filter housing being removed. FFD to around 19/20 min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipS3zlNwOEg

The tightening specs of the bolts are as follows (from the erWin repair manual)
1: Hand tight
2: 5 Nm
3: 8 Nm
4: 90 degree additional turn

**The bolt for the oil feed line is only tightened to 9 Nm. It bolts onto the oil filter housing after the housing is reinstalled.
