    TD5 - Check your oil filter

    Had a look round the engine bay today to try and track down an oil leak that started on the CSR and has been getting progressively worse.

    For some reason I checked to see if the oil filter was tight, it wasn't!

    It's a waiting game now to see if I get anymore leakage

    Funny thing is I had the same problem just a couple of weeks ago, I generally do it up as tight as I can as I just can't get my filter clamp to turn in such a tight area on the TD5.
    Also found out one of the rotor filter bolts has stripped from the main housing so now I have to get it helicoiled.

    Hi Jon ,
    I also had an oil leak around the filter area.My mechanic is a very experienced landy bloke and diagnosed on the 300TDI that an O ring in the filter assembly was the culprit.Seems this O ring is in the area that houses the oil cooler sensor or something.Showed me a very flat piece of what resembled a washer rather than O ring.
    New one is fitted together with4steering ball joints and new panhard bushes
    KGB is now rejuvenated
    Cheers,
    Mary

    if you are using ryco filters.......they had a bad batch last year......
    they were not sealing properly at the crimp.....and hence leaking.......

    they have been rectified since........but if you get one of the old ones......

    Not sure to be honest. I always do when I do my own servicing and have never had a problem. Last time though LR garage did it as I was under the pump with work before I went on my trip.
