Volvo V50 2.0TDI DIY service - what Torx req

[bunnerscj]

Hi All,

Looking to do DIY oil / air filter change on a 55 2.0 TDI V50.
Haynes manual lists Torx screws on the underside tray etc.

So, anyone advise me what size Male Torx bits / drives I need for the following :

1, 7 Torx screws for the underside tray.
2, 1 Torx srew on the side of the fuel filter (required to remove the fule filter to to to oil filter)
3, Any Torx screws on the air filter box (none listed ion haynes)
4, Although not Torx, what fitment and size is the sump plug ?

Anyu help would be gratefully received.
Thanks

Chris

Nice one thanks.
The 8mm sump plug, is that 8mm square or 8mm hex ?

Haynes say you have to move fuel filter to get at oil filter, other research suggests not. Anyone any experience ?

Thanks

[copperknob]

you dont need to remove fuel filter to get oil filter it is tight if its has twin throttle air pipes but it can be done

anything else i can assist you with

[bunnerscj]

Just sump plug ) , 8mm square or 8mm Hex ?
Thanks

I think the sump plug is a torx type. Fairly certain of that.

[copperknob]

kebab10 your wrong it is 8mm hex 100%dont over tighten it aswell as sump will crack 32nm is okay
