Thom 1 Posted March 31, 2009 Hello, can anyone tell me how to change the gasket between the oil filter housing and the oil pressure senders, I have oil seeping from where the 2 meet. Is it a case of removing the filter and unscrewing the housing? Thanks :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted March 31, 2009 ideally you need a narrow hex bit (4 or 5mm?) to get at the allen head bolts that hold it on, you may need to remove the filter to get at them all but I don't think so. Make sure the hex heads are clean and you use a proper hex bit, not just an allen key, becasue if you round the hex's off they'll be a real PITA.

Lufbramatt 0 Posted March 31, 2009 do you mean between the oil cooler and the bracket that bolts to the block? for that you have to take the oil filter off which reveals a thin 24mm (?) nut on a threaded tube. undo the nut and the oil cooler can be slid off the end, youll probably have to take the coolant hoses off too. the gasket is a fat rubber o-ring with "ears" that slot into the oil cooler. mine is doing the same, need to change it when i do the next oil change . . . mmmmmm messyness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 1 Posted April 2, 2009 Thanks for the help guys :) , I'm going to get it done tomorrow, can anyone tell me the exact size of the nut holding the cooler on, just that I want to buy the right tool for the job first time (not something I'm known for) Ta Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 1 Posted April 3, 2009 Done it now, was a surprisingly easy job. Just in case anyone needs to know and doesn't, the nut is 27mm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted April 5, 2009 yeah, the thin one that holds the heat exchanger in place, definitely did it with a spanner, might have been a random angle bodge of an approach though :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
