Description

46mm 12-Point Oil Filter Spanner, 390mm Length – VAG Group Applications

Brief Overview

This single-piece oil filter spanner is purpose-built for removing and installing 46mm filter housings on Volkswagen and Audi vehicles. The offset ring head design reaches recessed filter fittings without obstruction, while the extended 390mm handle provides the mechanical advantage needed for tight filter removal. If your workshop services a diverse range of filter sizes, consider complementing this spanner with alternative transmission filter wrenches or strap-style adjustable options for broader coverage.

Why This Matters to Your Technicians

Oil filters on VAG vehicles are often tucked into tight engine bay locations. A spanner with an offset head design (like this one) eliminates the need to contort or use workarounds. The 12-point profile bites securely into the filter nut—critical for preventing cam-out damage during removal. The extended handle reduces hand strain during high-torque filter extraction, which is especially valuable in high-volume service shops.

Closing Statement

Stock this 46mm spanner as a cornerstone VAG service tool. Pair it with your existing socket and wrench inventory to create a compelling service capability narrative for your VAG-focused customers. The tool's durability, precision fit, and long handle make it a permanent fixture in professional garages—exactly the kind of reliable item that builds customer loyalty and repeat business.
