I shall have to open the hood and have a look. I wonder if there is anything else in the way? Randy On 22/02/2011 8:58 PM, Dieselhead wrote: that'd work. Actually, I happen to have a 616 from a W115 240D. If there is enough interest, I could remove the filter housing and make a plate.

Anyone out there happen to have a spare filter housing setup from the 123 that they would care to part with for a reasonable sum? My car is the 115 300D rather than the 240D if that makes any difference to the housing. Randy On 22/02/2011 8:58 PM, Dieselhead wrote: that'd work. Actually,

OK, I'm lost in space. What exactly is being offered? If I read it right, you are making a plate that attaches to the engine in lieu of the original mount for the oil filter. I assume one would then run some form of aftermarket oil filter relocation setup to move the filter onto the inner

Yep, you got it. One person asked for one in my services advert thread, then another, and I decided to make it a customizable product. Some people want one for a remote aftermarket head, some want 2 in order to relocate the stock housing for ease of access to the IP internals, or for clearance,

In the 200D 2.4 project, I made 2 plates, one for the engine and one for the OE oil filter. they were connected with 3 4' lengths of 3/8 hyd hose from a farm store. Plain NPT thread. The oil filter resides behind the left headlight under the hood. Yep, you got it. One person asked for

Bingo! My thoughts exactly. It is so difficult to get the stupid can back on. I think it was designed to be easy with the car on a hoist at the MB shop but it is awful to do on the ground. I am thnking spin on filter like on North American cars. What think you all of the appropriate filter?

Ja,but.. the OM61x engines used in the 115 have a different mount to the block. Walt is working on 616 plates for a 123 engine. Could such a plate be used to relocate the oil filter on a W115 to keep oil from running down your arm when removing the filter for oil changes? Kevin in

Actually, I happen to have a 616 from a W115 240D. If there is enough interest, I could remove the filter housing and make a plate. Wouldn't be that different from what I've already done. If I made one and you were to get one of each type, you could put a W123 61X filter stand on a W115 616, and

Hello all, As mentioned in another listmail, I'm tooling up to do a run of filter relocation plates for the OM617, for those that either want to move the stock housing or switch to a different housing/filter combination. The idea started over on the SuperTurboDiesel.com forums, in reply to my
