Omega General Help / Re: Help! Oil Filter Removal

« on: 05 July 2017, 18:43:35 »

Yep - got that, the 36 mm socket. My previous response was to the notion of bashing a screwdriver through the casing of the filter. Come close to feeling like doing that (!) but the filter casing is separate to the inner filter element itself thats bought separately. I just need an extension that clears the engine's upper bit and bobs and affords enough leverage to turn. The casing looks likes its an alloy which never bodes well! Thanks for your kind responses, much appreciated.

Yep, you buy an internal filament. It'll prob be a second socket extension.

Omega General Help / Help! Oil Filter Removal

« on: 05 July 2017, 12:45:20 »

Hello - I need to remove the oil filter. I have the 36mm Hex socket but the location of the filter, right side at the rear is proving awkward. Can't get enough purchase with it connected to a socket spanner low down and when I try and attach a socket extension, the engine compartment panelling above it gets in the way.

Any suggestions? Is there a specific 3/8" extension tool or arm that I need? Its been a few years since it was last done so its going to need a fair amount of leverage.

Many thanks...

Omega General Help / Engine Sump Plug removing tool

« on: 13 June 2017, 14:36:05 »

Hi - I'm in the process of changing the engine oil. Does anyone know the official size of the sump plug tool - the star shaped socket tool; kinda like an allen key?

BTW does thus forum's posting system really need three proofs of "I'm not a robot ID?" - just sayin'


Many thanks

Hi,

Omega CDX Dti 2.2 (Diesel) - can anyone direct me to the whereabouts of the oil filter and air filter. I would like to change them and do an oil change. If there are any tricks involved in the procedures a heads up would be gratefully received.

Many thanks.
