Hi,
The other day I got a filter base in good condition (the plastic screw was fine too but I preferred using the "Depronman Screw").
As soon as I can, I'll change the one I'm wearing and it will stay perfect forever.

spot on sirWhat Paul is telling you to correctly use is pictured on the left below and is called a six point socket the one on the right is a 12 point socket and does not prevent the "points" of the hexagon being rounded off due to lack off pressure surface..

Thanks for the explanation, but it is the one I use only that it does not unscrew and being plastic if I force I am afraid that the cap may break. It must be blocked. I bought the used car and I don't know how long it hasn't been changed. I thought we needed a particular key.At least he now no longer needs Google Translate?
Ha ha that would be double anoying, I've changed dozens of filter on the A2 and never had one that would not come off using my laser line 6 flat socket, but there is always a first timeI have seen someone manage to shear off one of the plastic lugs while trying to remove the cover. Guess what, when the lug fractured off it ripped a hole in the cover!! Up side was the shock of the lug shearing off let the cover ( now useless ) unscrew....
