Whered everybody get their Filters from...? I cant seem to find them :(

Ive just bought mine from Supercheap, Ryco brand. Some people have said they leak, though mine never have (replaced it 3 times). Some people go for Motorcraft from Fraud.

The filters seal on the flare/taper on the end of the pipe and inside the filter.Not the threads I would seriously recommend NOT using teflon tape on any fuel system as petrol turns the teflon tape into mush. If any of this mush on the post fitler side of the fuel system make its way into an injector and blocks or partially blocks it your in for a world of pain...... :biggrin:

Just finished doing mine now,, took about an hour but the start was being an asshole and the car was only jacked up enough for me to just squeeze under it.. Not too sure if mines been changed or not in the 101,000k's its done,, but when all finished I took it for a drive and felt more responsive and more go go.. dunno if it was just me or it actually made a difference.. I went for the Ryco and has no issues with leaks,, all you need to do is screw it up then push the lines into it and tighten.. took a few pics of the fuel that came out,, was all little black bits in it and the fuel was black..

anyone tell if this is the OG filter?

Car seems to be making the Tuutututu sound now when backing off in 2nd gear WOT at 80-100...maybe I never noticed it before but I've had her a year and only heard that sound once about 4 months ago, now it's consistent. I can't see any reason the fuel delivery would affect this??
