Mihnea, I totally agree on oil filters - nothing but the best there. Surely replacing the fuel filter regularly, even with a Fram, is better than using the OEM filter for 200,000 miles?

Another thing: DON'T EVER (I mean EVER) use any FRAM filters on your car, wether for fuel, oil, air or whatever else. Only OEM, Bosch, Mann, Mahle and Knecht which are OEMs. If you want to know what a Fram oil filter does to an inline-5 cylinder engine, try it, you'll see for yourself.

I've been using a Fram oil filter for about 3000km for now. Mihnea, are you saying that I'm going to need an engine rebuilt really soon if don't change it to a OEM oil filter before next oil change, say in 7000-10000 km's?
That pipe from the WG to WGFV isn't something you can just replace with a little piece of ordinary silicone hose by the way - it needs to be temp resistant stuff for the extreme heat down there. SFS do something suitable in 8mm diameter for that hose. Nicely re-inforced to.

Paul,
Do you have the stock part number for this hose?
I believe its split again.
I merely cut the original hose down to get rid of the split but I think the whole hose needs replacing...probably perished...
Else a WWW link to SFS?
SFS Performance manufactures and distributes the world's finest high performance silicone hoses.
Whether you're running a race team or want to get the best performance from your road car, SFS Performance can provide the hose you need, when you need it.
