Default 4.2TDI oil filter location

Hello All
Just got my 07 4.2TDI delivered , its a write off im repairing ,been hit on the passenger front side , nothing serious , needs a wing and the compressor cage was knackered and it needs a headlight + foglight.
Anyway while im stripping it down at the weekend and repairing it i wanted to do an oil change as its been sitting for a year ,more as a engine flush then once its on the road properly it can go into audi for another change and a stamp in the book.
Can anyone tell me were the oil filter is , it looks like its in a canister on the top of the engine under the engine cover but im not 100% positive , all the online ETKAs dont list the 4.2TDI??????

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome.

Would like to see some pictures of your rebuild project.

You are correct, the filter (part 22) is within a canister (part 17) on top of the engine.
