Turbo Oil Supply Screen Cleaning

[Stray]

Hey guys I'm doing this right now and got everything off minus the 24mm in the block. I read back a page and some one stated if you put a small screw driver through and it goes in more then a inch, the filter has been removed already. Well mine went in 2 inches, so I'm putting it all back together until someone else says no that's wrong and I'll do it again hahaha. Not that hard of a job from the top with the right tools

The filter is a cylinder... A screw driver will always go through the middle

You got this far, just pull it out and have a look

Here is a pic

The mesh filter is around the inside of this fitting, it only filters the oil coming out the small holes in the middle

Hey guys was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with how to get mine off to check, thought I may as well seeing as how my turbo has failed and I need to look at replacing it anyway so thought I'd take the filter out etc. while I had it all apart but mine doesn't look like the one in the photo? I tried taking a few pics here: I think the piece on the far left is from my oil pressure gauge? But even beside that it looks quite a bit different.

Any help would be great cheers!

You need to undo the fitting from the block, in your first photo. It's the one you can see connected to the line that runs upwards vertically. The filter is located inside this male to male adapter. All the rest of the stuff hanging off (oil pressure gauge sender, oil pressure switch all come off the fitting from the block which you need to take out. Just be careful getting it out though, that you don't over twist the banjo fitting and split the factory hard line...

Once you take the tee off its just stock. 24mm long reach socket

Thanks guys legends as always took the tee off then used a long socket to get the rest off and took the filter out and threw it in the bin.

HI guys, I have an 05 BA,

Just doing an oil change now, is THIS what I need to take apart?

Cheers?

[arronm]

Yep. 24mm long reach socket

[Great White]

I am unsure of what to undo.

 

Does anyone else have photos or a link to a thread that shows how this is done?

Undo the oil line.

 

First post of the thread and the first picture is what you want.

 

It's under the intake manifold. 

 

Follow your oil line. 

 

Read the thread for all the details you need.
