Simple, they pull off and then just press the new one on until it clicks in to place . But make sure you hook out any of the broken pieces of the old one out of the tube other wise they will find their way into the sump which is not desireable ! :smiley:

Sorted me thinks i was flapping for nothing. :embarassed:
About £1.50 from Vw pulled off the old one ,but got the old inner piece stuck in the top of the tube ,so got long wood screw and used the course thread to help pull old piece out ,luckily with out breaking anything and getting bits in the oil.
