Richie-Van-GTi 74 2 Cars Posted February 4, 2006 Not sure if Ive got the wromng filter or if I'm missing a part as the oil filter is a female thread as is the block where it fastens on. If someone can point me in the right direction then I can resolve this little niggle. Its on an engine I bought without filter so no idea whats wrong My other idea is to maybe fit an oil cooler of a 306 TD asit looks asthough it will fit straight on.

Could do with more info - std filters are female thread - can't think why you've got an engine with a female thread on it (what is it?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 74 2 Cars Posted February 4, 2006 sorry its a 1.9 gti, not sure of year as I didnt get any history at all with the engine. I thought it strange as Ive always seen pug filters as female thread, never seen a male thread one. Fairly certain something is missing. Not a very clear pic but you can see where the filter should mount its a female thread also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
returnofjim 0 Posted February 4, 2006 Did you remove the old filter yourself? if not maybe the person who did, removed the filter and the threaded tuve that goes into the block came out in the filter? this has happened to me before. If so you can get the threaded tube that goes into the block from pug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 74 2 Cars Posted February 4, 2006 no I didnt remove it, was like that when I got it. Ive got a 1.6 lump sat in the shed, might just rape one off that for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richie-Van-GTi 74 2 Cars Posted February 4, 2006 lol, when I first collected the engine it took me about a month to reakise I forgot to get the exhaust manifold, the PAS pump, and the dizzy assembly!!!! Now down to just this one little bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
