VX Oil filter

[John Howe]

Can someone make my life simple... Susan wants me to do an oil change on her Caterham. Since mine is a K series I havn't a clue what filter I'll need for her Vauxhall lump - part number anyone (non-Halfords), please.

if you have a remote oil filter they can be different from the one attached. Best bet is to take the old one to halfrauds find a suitable spotty assistant and let him open all the boxes and find the right one for you. My VX is a C105 (I think) from memory.

You need a short one

Number are

Unipart GFE210

Fram PH2874

TJ FB5300

 

Partco do Unipart.

Any Motorfactor worth his/her salt can cross ref any of the above number. Halfords hopefully included.

Thanks for your replies... have printed them out and now if Susan comes back with the wrong part I'll be in the clear!

I went to halfords with the part number etc - car outside vx classic

spotty assistant (sa) "what car is that off"

me " Caterham"

sa "what is that its not on the computer"

me "ok its a 8 valve vx engine"

sa "what car is it off"

me "any 8v vx"

sa " sorry you have to give me a model number"

me "I don't know it can't you do a search on the product number"

sa "no"

 

so I went to a local motor supplier

me "I want part number Unipart GFE210"

oily experianced assistant " ok don't have that is a bosh part ok"

ME "yup"

oea "that will be £???"

me " thanks "

end of story

mistake there was to not take the filter off and give it to them to find - if they still dont find it you can use it as an excellent missile
