Thread: Rubber 'donut' around TD5 oil filler

Theres nothing like the sound of a diesel in the morning, and charlie still can't surf, Bob

It is a diesel!! Clatter Clatter! When the clatter stops we know something is wrong. I like the neater look the cover gives the engine bay, so I removed the acoustic foam lining under the poly cover. As an aside I feel it directs some airflow over the engine like a cowling now that the foam is gone.

I was under the opinion that a foam lined cover on an engine in Australia was akin to wearing a beanie in the summer.

jf1056, Hmmm.... it seems strange and although I am careful when adding oil, I still have oil on the inside of the acoustic cover - not sure how it is getting there.

Do you know hat happens when you respond to posts following night shift?
You think someone wrote Oil Filter Cap. So deprived brain struggles to fathom a donut on the Centrifigal filter........

Oh well.... it helped you figure out how to post pics.

cheers

almost as good as my initial read..

I read it as oil filter and was going to respond with "lucky you, some appie has left his filter grip ring on your filter for you"
