I wouldn't take the chance, you could be up for quite a bit in labour swapping them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGP Donating Members 309 Member For: 13y 8m Gender: Male Posted 04/03/12 10:53 PM Share Posted 04/03/12 10:53 PM no leaks with my speedflow fittings been on the car about 20,000km still use earls inline filter and had no probs with that.. I made my own up as I did not like the earls lines with crimped fittings so made mine up pretty much same as my old ETM line I had.. Mate, I noticed you have turbo side intake and battery on passenger side. Did you to this yourself or buy a kit? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helbz Member 176 Member For: 13y 18d Posted 05/03/12 01:35 AM Share Posted 05/03/12 01:35 AM So 1 model design of the earls lines leak, so all of them are to be considered no good?Nope Just the one that has leaked due to cutting costs and not enough thorough testing, wont have that problem with mscn one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helbz Member 176 Member For: 13y 18d Posted 05/03/12 01:37 AM Share Posted 05/03/12 01:37 AM You have a vested interest in MSCN?If I use your logic, my earls line is better because it doesn't leak & was cheaper. Has crimped ends too.Nope just an interest in people getting a good product. what's your interest, brown tounging ratter? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped at MSCN to get a couple of speedflow fitting to by-pass it and they mentioned they had been to court over the Mocal parts (earls use Mocal from the UK) Unfortunate how such a quality brand has started to go south!
