I couldn't blow air through it! I turfed mine, as all my previous cars with ball bearing turbo's never had a screen.....By the way, the best tips for making this job easy and fast are......buy two deep sockets (22 & 24mm) from super cheap roughly $10 all up, and remove the air box and access it from above...do these things and it's not that difficult....

turbotom Team Bute Donating Members 1,550 Member For: 21y 3m 18d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 05/02/11 07:17 AM Share Posted 05/02/11 07:17 AM Good thread with lots of excellent "How to" info.My BA has done 90000km, and yesterday morning I noticed a slightly different tone to the turbo as the turbine was spinning down at shutdown. Just a subtle different sound which wasn't quite right. Chased around yesterday and managed to pick up a replacement filter fitting and copper washers, and replaced the unit today.The posts above sure made the job easy.Removal of the air box to provide some work room is the key.Getting to the screen fitting (up against the block) with a 24mm open ender is the hard part.Using a long 24mm socket over the top of the oil pressure sender (after removing the cable connector) makes the job relatively easy.Just another tip.... when reinstalling the oilscreen fitting, position it so that the 24mm open end spanner can get to it from above... makes future access easier.My screen was almost completely blocked. Good news is, after fitting the new screen, the turbo spin down is now silent.Phew!Got that done just in time.Like it was said above. If you have a few years and a few kms on the motor....DO IT! Remove and check / clean or replace it...Don't procrastinate.It really is a time bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 13y 9m 13d Posted 10/02/11 11:33 PM Share Posted 10/02/11 11:33 PM I put an earls filter kit on my car on weekend. The orginal filter had actually collapsed!! Very happy I did this!Just out of curiosity, the earls filter had directional arrows on it to show flow. I've put it on backwards. Being just a screen, it shouldn't matter should it??Also I now have a small leak from my oil sender for aftermarket gauge. Will have to put some high temp thread sealant on there.

Its sits on a step in the body of the filter.Its "possible" that the screen could be pushed off its seat with the flow running through it backwards but it would need too be fairly blocked for that too happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeze_dk I am dissatisfied with my current employment situation Donating Members 8,610 Member For: 18y 1m 5d Gender: Male Posted 23/02/11 10:52 PM Share Posted 23/02/11 10:52 PM (edited) I had my BFII in for service (120k) the other day and got the mechanic to remove the oil feel line filter/mesh (he'd never heard of anything like it in other cars and only works on turbo/modded cars)Luckily it wasn't blocked up, but safest to remove anyways.How long does this normally take to do? His charged 2.5hrs labour to do this! Seems an aweful long time, I would have expected less time than this if I was doing it at home without a hoist!took me an hour to do with the wrong tools at home..
