Hello,
I hope this isn't a well - known question, if so sorry.
I'm in the middle of changing oil filter on '05-06 1.3 Multijet. All is disassembled okay, but the old and new 'paper' filters differ. The old one has an internal spring/plastic disc 'valve' in the centre hole, but the new Bosch one doesn't - you can look through it. There's also a small spring that I didn't expect that seems to go between the filter and the plastic dome (is that correct?).
The filter looks more or less the correct shape - I think there's another type with a protrusion on it, but it isn't one of those. It has 'castellations' around the top.
The new filter is from carparts4less and was listed for my registration number.
Are they equivalent? If so, do I need to use the spring with the new one or is it only for the old type?
Thanks,
