Found this sitting on top of the filter when I unscrewed it. ANY ideas ???? Sort of stringy and rubbery 😨
At a quess, not what you want to find when your replacing a blown Turbo on a vehicle you've only owned a few months 😭

Just some old silastic that has been floating around somewhere in the engine and finally worked it's way to the oil filter where you found it. History of application by previous owner unknown.

Yes - excess silastic. That's what the filter is for - to catch stuff like that! I assume the engine has a screen on the pump suction, which sort of limits where it could have come from (unless there is a hole in the screen).

Recon your right there. You dont realy know what your getting second or third hand. By the way, parts I ordered late yesterday arrived at the door at 10.00 this morning 😁 Now thats service 👍 Cheers, Mike.
