H,
just been to VX for 2nd attempt at getting the oil filter cap for car as original one has the hex head sheared off, and yet again it's wrong one. I was originally supplied with a V0093171524 which was about 20mm diameter smaller than fitted but did have the hex head on top. I've just been down to collect the newly ordered part and this one appeared to be a larger diameter one than fitted but it also has a bolt hole in centre. The two parts guys came out to have a look for themselves but told me that it was a bit of a guessing game with the Omegas - changes in engines, oh and this is just a BMW engine that they bunged in.
Not had vehicle long so not got familiarity with it yet. Does any one have the correct VX part number that I require, just in case it's not 3rd time lucky.
From visiting two VX dealers since my recent purchase, it appears that most parts are no longer stocked and have a two day lead time.
Should I be going to BMW for this part as it certainly has got VX stretched?

Thanks Malcolm

Damn typical this ......
The 'stealers' should be able to source the correct part from your number plate/VIN numbers via their in-house system.

I'll go and check my records, and see if I can come up with the correct number for you. Back soon!

You will find that VX dealers keep very little if anything in stock for the TD engine. I'm convinced that I have the only one in the north of Hampshire/Berkshire border!

Just to clarify is it this one that's shown in the pics.

May help someone get the correct part number for you.

That's the link I was following. The one shown is similar as I had supplied but is 20mm less diameter than the one ftted. As in the link, the filter fits inside the cap and the centre piece extends through the filter. The filter is slightly larger diameter than the cap and the length of centre piece appears short.
