James. 7 Posted April 8 The mists of time have clouded my memory. My oil filter cap has a crack in it, so was going to switch it out (92 VR6). Trouble is, I can’t find one. All I can find are the later ones (same part number, thanks VAG 🙄). So my question is, can I use the later cap and later filter in an early (1992) housing ?

Cressa 44 Posted April 9 Sorry I can't help with this one. I knew there are 2 different filters for the years. How about replacing the broken part with a 2nd hand unit, but totally understand if you want new. I've never read about people swapping the whole unit it over to a later model, but I suppose the problem will only arise now early parts are obsolete. Anything is achievable 😇 Have you looked on VW classic parts to see if they do the part? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Matt_ 26 Posted April 9 I checked the parts diagram for 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 on LLL Parts and it lists this part no 06B103485C You can buy it from LLL Parts too for £13 https://www.lllparts.co.uk/product/06B103485C/end-cap. It is the same part number as what's found on the 1.9 TDi engine oddly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 7 Posted April 17 Sorry should have included a picture: This is the one I have: This is the only one I can find new : Both on the same part number. I rolled the dice on it, hoping the centre section could be removed. Nope 🙄. Anyone switched over the filter and cap to the later style ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 30 Posted April 25 Is the issue that the drain section can't be removed or that the old cap is in 3 parts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need one of these housings, mine is a late car but has the cap without the centre part. Where can you get them from please? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 7 Posted April 25 I couldn’t find the version without a centre section (There’s only one part number on partslink and all other sites) so what we’ve done is switch out the filter to the (later) plastic ended version, as opposed to the earlier metal capped version. Here’s where I bought the later (superseded) part: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325408091268?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UYc4-p3_T3y&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=tk0ke1M_QYS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
