owen g60 10 Posted May 19, 2012 Hi guys I managed to damage my oil filter whilst fitting it. The only choice i had was to go to euro parts to get a filter. The one they have listed and supplied is shorter than the OEM one i put on the car. It is a bosch one and have the valve in it. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Corrado_1.8_1992/p/car-parts/car-service-parts/regular-service/oil-filter/?501440160&1&afedc681fe8bcd50dd912e653668a6d78d2d79d0&000231 ^^this is the part supplied. I suspect it is designed for a G40... My brother in law is a VW mechanic and says it will be ok for me to use. I would like someone to confirm this before it fit it and risk killing the car.

northG60 0 Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Yeah i would imagine it to be the same thread? some people have to run the shorter oil filter for their oil coolers...... check out ebay there is always oil filters from good brand names going have you not got a carbar sort of thing near you ? ..... the one to local me can always get me the tall G60 Fram oil filters for about a tenner.

owen g60 10 Posted May 19, 2012 I have euro parts and gsf near me. Gsf being shut today doesn't help as they have the longer ones. I thought I had read that people use the shorter ones if they have a cooler as I do. As its a bosch filter it should be good quality so will give it a go. Just wanted someone else to confirm my thoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
