removing oil filter from a meriva 1.6
« on: 02 December 2014, 19:04:45 »
My sister has asked me to service her Meriva 1.6. The oil filter (cartridge type) is very tight and I cannot shift it. Access is poor. Any tips?

I'd say that a paper & cartridge were the same thing as opposed to a cannister type  ;)

Woops! It's canister type, in fact same part as on some Omegas. It may well be a screwdriver job - I presume you mean shove a screwdriver through it, Webby. I've spent an hour trying to get hold of it with a chain device, also a belt tool. Do you mean hammer a long sharp screwdriver through it and use it as a lever, Webby?

Used a gloved hand, but watch yourself on the Cat :y

Tap a long screwdriver in to it  from the two o'clock position and drive it home, the simply pull the screwdriver up and over anticlockwise...

Then unscrew by hand :y
