Is this what's needed for V6 oil pipes near the oil filter?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-3-8-Drive-CROW-FOOT-SPANNER-WRENCH-19mm-SPCRW19-/130710148415?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item1e6eee953f

Thanks ..............

Yep :y

Although you could invest in a rail for not much more money than that :)

I was referring to a rail of crowsfeet sockets, ranging from probably 10mm to 21mm, rather than an individual socket.

But the link you post is the correct part for the oil cooler pipe to block unions.

I concur - Machine Mart keep them in stock IME, about £12 IIRC.

Suggest you get one with a very tight fit onto a ratchet or extension as if they fall off be certain it will end up behind the engine mount and no amount of magnetic retriever tools will recover it. >:(

Bet more Omegas have 19mm crows foot wrench sockets behind n/s engine mount

Just removed mine. It is a tight fit but you are correct a 19mm is what you need.
