Fitting a CAV filter to TDi42

[Cuppa]

Thanks Darren, it looks good, but I'm envious of all the space you have across your firewall, mine is far more crowded mainly due to my extended coolant system. I would have to take hoses underneath the intercooler, over the top of the rocker cover & & in closer proximity to the turbo than I'd like. None of which is probably that good for a fluid which in part acts as a coolant for the pump.

I'm a bit envious of your spin on filter too. However the reason I went for the cheaper CAV type, at the cost of less convenience when it comes to changing filters , was a story recounted to me by a mate who picked up some dirty fuel at a remote outback community. He was clogging filters in his Oka at the rate of around 100kms per filter for 6 filters before the remaing fuel was eventually 'clean'. He obviously carried a good supply of filters with him, easier to do when they are $7 a pop, (& replaceable at any small town which has a grader or a tractor). Horses for courses.
