Yep, down the front there! It's a right pig to get to... even more so if you've got a big downpipe on... grr!

Found it. Same place as the 3SGTE engine in my mk2 turbo. Actually not that difficult to get too. try a renault master petrol van for that.

Just need a longer dipstick to reach the oil!!!!!!!
