Small Enough?

Are they hard to clean? Do you need a hoist to get under the car or are you guys just doing it on the floor?

Better get mine done

Hard to clean? No.

Hard to access? Well, sort of, yes.

A hoist makes it a hell of a lot easier though.

I did mine on the floor. Got the car high enough to roll under on a creeper.

Just repalced the standard filter with ETM's kit which is soooo much better. There were no signs of the filter/screen being blocked as I serviced my car every 5000kms but after seeing the size of that thing, I wouldnt have ever put it back in!!!

Low oil flow from a partially blocked filter is probably why the feed lines "coke" up. All results in low oil flow to the turbo and the there goes the turbo........

There seems to be an updated part, not sure if the later model's have it standard? But I replaced the filter on my BA turbo which had the same filter as pictured and the replacement would have to have maybe 4 or 5 times the surface area as the filter part comes almost to the end of the bolt

Seems to be the luck of the draw, phildee.

My FG had the larger screen as standard and the new one I fitted was the smaller version, as supplied from Ford.

my stock bf one had smaller holes with a short filter, and the new one I bought had larger holes and the filter went all the way to the end.

old at the top..

That's it Mike.

My standard FG was the same as the bottom pic.

The new one I was supplied was the same as the top one.

The thing that gave me the sh!ts was the FG,BF,BA fitting all have the same part number, but are clearly different parts.
