Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Changed oil and filter the other day. Just a query re the housing should there be a spring or similar incorporated in the end of the housing to hold the filter against the engine, mine is just a plain filter housing. Wondered if this is correct ? Cheers Dave

POST 2Original post

That's correct. It is a plain filter bowl. Just the 'O' ring around the top.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard, my housing is plain but I query this as there was a small insert incorporating a spring in the end of the old (non standard) filter cartridge that I removed - it didnt seem to fix into the end of the housing and appeared to be part of the old filter cartridge. I have retained it just in case. Effectively I have one end of the filter cartridge that pushes on the mounting on the engine and the other end just rests against the inside of the plastic housing which I guess keeps the cartridge in place against the engine. Ive actually found reference to this issue via the below link which suggests there might be an issue : http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1035039 Going to have a look at a new filter casing if i can to compare it with mine. Cheers Dave

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Have ordered a new filter housing today - this item is a locator and pressure relief valve for the filter assembly that should be part of / fixed into the end of the filter housing - mine had come away. There may be more like this so its well worth checking during oil changes (see link above). Regards. Dave
