April 27, 201115 yr #271 Hey can someone tell me a part number of this for a bf mkii?? I went to a dealer today to try to get one and he wasn't sure what I was talking about. Neither was I to be honest, he said there's a filter just before the oil pressure switch?? But I didn't think this was what it would be. Anyone help me out? Thanks
April 27, 201115 yr #272 I wouldn't bother. The oil goes through the main oil filter just before it reaches the oil sender/feed line
April 28, 201115 yr #275 Just had mine done by Pit Lane yesterday.. Better be safe than sorry. I have heard from a few places that taking it out altogether is fine too, but I chose to have a filter.
April 28, 201115 yr #276 nobody but ford uses filters pre turbo,nobody loses turbos due to clogged filters but ford owners.wake up and get rid of your filters!I drilled mine outI'd read all the talk on this forum and Nizpro agreed with removal during my last service... mine's gone. Their quote was, "better off having dirty oil feeding the turbo than no oil at all". Edited April 28, 201115 yr by Rockatansky

The oil goes through the main oil filter just before it reaches the oil sender/feed lineSadly you are wrong, I did my oil change on monday and inspected my earl filter to find it had caught 3 or 4 small particles of metal that would have ended up in my turbo.Please guys, If you have one fitted let people know what you find as opinions like these will ruin someones turbo.Not having a go at you, Just thought you should know.
July 1, 201115 yr #279 I fitted my earls kit as soon as I got the car [ like the day after I got the car] I tookout the factory plastic and gause filter body out .
July 2, 201115 yr #280 was thinking it was a waste but stories like these makes me think I did the right thing by fitting one.
