not on the 16v but several varieties of the 8v's.

1)  Its in the scuttle tray under the windscreen wipers

2)  Why would you want to?

There is not really any point in changing the oil filter without changing the oil.  Changing the oil is very easy to do, even the most novice diy'er can change the oil.  You can have the oil filter and oil changed in half hour.

why skip changing the oil??? Always change oil and filter at the same time.

As above.

tbh is th eprocess of taking the oil filter off, youll loose some oil anyway, so you might as well change it.

and whats the point in putting a new filter on to filter crap old oil lol,

new oil and filter, 20 quid, job done
