300tdi oil thermostat housing O ring replacement
Hi all,
I need to change out the o ring on the oil thermostat housing. The issue is I want to do it in my apartment building underground garage but I don't know how much of an oil spill I can expect once I remove the oil cooler pipe. Anyone have an idea?

The only oil that might be an issue is the oil in the oil cooler.
It should not be a lot of oil, but if possible have some blanking plugs nearby to stem the flow.
My guess is about 250-300mL.

Just make sure you buy the correct o-ring. I tried one from my o-ring kit which was slightly thicker and it broke the housing.
