working on my first 914 !  Group: Members Posts: 653 Joined: 13-April 16 From: Holland, the Netherlands Member No.: 19,896 Region Association: Europe  |
Hi all. I started working on my 914 and first thing was an oilchange and a new filter. Got all the parts new, and started working. How hard is an oilchange right?
All went fine untill I removed the old oilfilter...i thought a wrong one was there since it was another type then should be there, it was smaller in diameter. However... The new filter does not fit. It is too wide since it hits another part, a supportthing that hold a wheel that presses on the belt. See pics.  The new bosch filter is hitting this supportbracket. This is the new filter i think is ok  This filter came off. It is smaller in diameter and clears the supportbracket   Can you please advice? Can i get that smaller diameter oilfilter to continue ? |

I use MAHLE OC-28.
I usually had probs with the length of canister with my aftermarket BAT external oil cooler adaptor. The Mahle works best in that regard. Not sure though of clearance with the a/c pulley and diameter of canister. Maybe give it a go . Good luck. |

Baldwin B228 is my favorite. Same length as the stock filter but smaller in diameter. Great when using a sandwich adapter for an external cooler or when you're sick of busting your knuckles dealing with the stock size filter.

Yes, that's a Baldwin B178 which hangs a bit too low on the 914 in my opinion. Same as Rabbit, Jetta, Golf, etc.
