If you're choosing a new filter by comparing it to the one you took off, it's only going to give you certainty if the one you took off is the one it left the factory with.

If you're choosing a new filter by comparing it to the one you took off, it's only going to give you certainty if the one you took off is the one it left the factory with.

I never chose it because it was similar to the one I took off? I was beyond that stage and had the oil drained out and wasn't going to reuse the old one.

I picked it because it was a numbers matching oem spec.

Plus bit of a ludicrous comment to make "is the one it left the factory with" back in 2011?

It's had the old oil filter since last January.

Different manufacturers can be slightly different lengths, which fit fine

But fiat fitted two different filters, fitting the wrong one can cause problems

wrong oil filter punto | FIAT Punto (Mk2/2b)

hi please can anyone tell me how many types of oil filters there are for a punto 1.2 8v....04 plate. my engine siezed after a huge oil filter fail and the guy at garage said at the last service they had put in wrong size of filter :mad:. Apparently there are two sizes but u can use any one as...

Shop4parts ask for chassis number so you order the right one

Highly tuned Punto's use to swap the small for the larger, but there were a few caveats

Thanks koalar. I'll be keeping a more careful eye out when buying filters for Becky from now on

When I took the old oil filter off I compared it with the new Magneti Marelli one, a few millimetres longer than the old one but not something I'd say would cause damage. The seals were the same size too.

I've used Magnetti Marelli oil filters in pretty much all my cars, even my Evo 6 and have had no issue with them.

On a side note, yous should see the size of oil filter that went on my old Pajero 2.8TD length of my forearm

Love the "yous" Real Scots that!

No lights on dash are you sure

No lights on dash are you sure

Just normal lights, no EML or warning lights

Oil, battery on, do they stay on while cranking

Does the pump prime

Does the rev counter bump up from its rest position while cranking

Immobilizer light.

Clocks reseting

I believe it's around 33mm / 1 1/4"

I don't have a panda anymore to double check

Needs to be fairly secure, there can be up to 20 psi in the system

And atmospheric pressure (14psi) trying to push it's way in as it cools down

The "my Life" was the last of the 169 and the first of the Pandas to get the VVT 69hp engine. I only know because we looked at one just before we found Becky (2010 60hp). I seem to remember reading at the time that the My Life was severely criticized for the power delivery problems which the first of the 69hp engines were known for.
