Spin on Oil Filter

Posted By : Huw Harrison, 08-Sep-2004, 07:04pm

Hi all

Just purchased after advice from fellow members the above kit for my Vitesse. Have fitted but the filter seems to sit at an angle to clear chassis at the bottom and large blanking bolt (presume for oil pressure gauge)to the left is there a right way to fit these...??

Huw,

The large blanking bolt you refer to is the oil pressure relief valve plug, unfortunately there is no other way of fitting the oil filter housing other than at an angle.

  I concur, i have one fitted to my MK1 and MK11 engines and there does not appear to be any other way,though others may know better.
