I've had my S3 up on the ramp, the photo clearly shown that the oil filter is directly underneath the engine, just in front of the gearbox, which leads me to think why the wings has to come off at every service, seems like an excuse to make money, not to mention potential scratches to the wings/paintwork(providing they really take the wings off smirk2 )
May be someone could explain to me the purpose of taking the wings off, other than engine parts replacement confused2
