Oil Filter Element type.

[Timo]

Hi, can anyone post a diagram of the oil filter and the order the components go back inside the canister.

Also is the hairpin type clip important, only its missing from my set up.

Thanks

Here you go. And yes, that clip is essential! This diagram is from the Repair Operations Manual. Might be worth getting a copy or downloading from: http://www.grampianstags.net/StagManual.pdf

Thanks Dave for the diagram.

so are there 2 different set ups, with and without clip?

Hi Tim,

The diagram I've posted seems to show two, but I've only ever seen the one with a clip. I've been out to check all the ROM editions I have and they all show that diagram, but the Haynes manual only shows the diagram with the clip.

I fink the one without the clip is a very early Tecalamit manufactured version - my guess is you would never find an early one due to the huge benefits of the AC filter with decent bypass assembly and it's an obvious retrofit

I've taken a look at the ROM instructions and all seems straightforward. But being used to changing spin-on filters, I'm just a little concerned about reassembly regarding the various internal springs and washers !

I'm sure it will all make even more sense once removed but rather than assume at this stage, are there any key tips ?

Many thanks
