Hi all, I know this has been discussed before but I can’t find definitive answers for my model, so apologies for the repetition?
When attempting to change the oil today on my 56 plate td4, I was frustrated by the sump guard. No matter what I tried I just couldn’t get any of the bolts to move. Two of them are actually rounded off. I have read on here that some people have modified the guard with a hole to expose the sump plug. This seems perfectly logical to me, but where exactly is the sump plug? How do you know where to cut the hole without taking the guard off?
Having bought all the parts, and even the super-sized socket for the oil filter, to do the service myself, I’m determined to avoid taking it to a garage to get the guard off.
Thanks in advance.
