Call me a Dummy but.......

I am helping a mate change engine oil on his 2l TDI Golf & we cant find the old oil filter cartridge!!! We have undone the nut/cap & all I can see is an oil cooler! It looks nothing like the new VW genuine oil filter... Whats the go... We have given up on it tonight.. Hopfully some answers will come thru here!!! Ta

Basically you've undone the wrong end. The filter sits on the top of the cooler, and is under the top engine shroud. It's a VW so it's backwards to what you ( and I ) am used to.....
