The Panda Nut
Nutty about Pandas Infected by Panda virus and OPD
Can anyone clarify thsi?
I have two oil filters for my Pandas. One from Fiat Dealer and one from a reputable parts supplier. They are both supposed to be for Pandas.
Numbers on the box
0055256470-001 France
68240 0789 AA - 001
This has 6 holes in the body plate
0071736161 -001 China
6813 6113 AA-001 This has 8 holes in the body plate
Internally they are not idenitical to look at either
The recent purchase purports to be FPT filter and has no branding painted on the filter canister.
FPT was disbanded 7 years ago. Are their parts still floating about. All the aftermarket suppliers seem to be selling them but they are different to the Chinese part supplied by Fiat themselves.
Are tehy both OK to use or are the FPT of a different specification? Does anyone know?
