Thread: TD5 oil filters

Yep 2 filters.

One is under the domed cover by the turbo, other one is the main filter and is under the exhaust manifold, by the down pipe.

AHHHH thanks for that, I felt something there but couldn't see it. It must be a p#$%& to get too.

Not that hard unless it has a genuine filter, then you'll need to remove the turbo drain pipe to get it out

Replace it with a Cooper oil filter, it's a bit shorter and you won't need to remover the turbo drain pipe next time

My '99 needed the drain pipe loosened because the pipe wasn't attached to the block at the correct angle, but no problems with my '03 and LR filters.

This "may" help a little,

I dont have any issues using genuine filters on my 01.

I seem to remember the first time i did mine it had a LR filter and i had no probs either, but this time i did, the spinning filter has never been a problem, i think i remember someone else having the same problem just recently.

I'll check the turbo drain pipe tonight though.

Never had a single issue with genuine filters on mine....
