Oil filter location

Postby Jessnat995 » Thu Dec 29, 2016 11:14 pm

Hi guys.

I have tried for over an hour to find any info on the oil filter for a 2012 1.6 diesel gt line estate.

Could anyone point me in the right direction please

Perfect thank you.

Could you tell me if it's a metal screw filter or an insert.

As I have got one from euro car parts and I have received an insert filter

Thank you guys.

Pretty easy location to be fair.

Has anyone heard of why my mpg will have dropped ? Could I need the fuel filter changed? On 86k?

Pumps will be putting out winter diesel now with an anti waxing agent in it to stop in freezing.
This lowers the cetane number so you use more fuel.
