Changed the engine oil and gearbox oil today. but used a new oil filter from a mk3 TDI on my GTI. the TDI filter was a bit bigger than GTI one but the threads and seal was the same. I knew holding on to this filter for 15 years would eventually pay off :grin:

Just got to fit the glow plugs now :grin:

That would be a trick and a half
-
Does it have the non return valve inside, being none genuine I doubt it.
-
was thinking same thing.
-
i dont know? i dident know they had those. both are none genuine parts, so i would asume both probaly dont have one. dosent seem to run any different.

It is more of a long term problem, I would never use a cheap oil filter.

+1 a couple of vans I maintained sounded like a bag of nails every time they started. Really really rough til the oil pressure picked up. Once serviced with genuine parts it's quiet starting now. The position of the oil filter meant it completely emptied every time the engine was shut off.

Its a Champion, so must be a great filter!
-
Not an ideal situation but probably more important thats its been given fresh oil and a new filter.
-
Not sure a bigger filter would be a good thing.
More oil = more to cool and puts added strain on the pump.

Yeah but its not a lamborghini ....it'll survive.

Would do the opposite if you think about it. More space for oil to circulate, less pressure on pump and would have more space to disperse heat.
It'll be fine as said it's a MK3 Golf.

I dont agree it will be less pressure on the pump. There is a greater volume of oil at the same pressure, basic physics says that is a greater strain on the pump.
The oil does not cool in the filter the oil cooler is on top of the filter!
But of course its only a Mk3! :rolleyes:

I know but basically a larger quantity of oil will be getting pushed around hence it will disperse heat quicker.
Won't be any more pressure as it can't physically push more oil around but it will have a larger space to push it about it hece if anything will be slightly less pressure. Probably won't make even a tiny bit of difference.
It won't harm it whatsoever unless the filter is different I.e no return valve.
