Oil pressure switch tore thread from filter housing...

[nobber]

So my 90 decided to dump its oil all over the place, I had a look and noticed the oil pressure switch was loose, so I tightened it and tore the threads from the filter housing. I need a new housing don't I?

Does the 200 TDI and 19J share the same filter housing?

different numbers but only bit that could be different is the rear cooler pipe fitting

Need to put these side to side to look for the difference/

Im thinking the only difference might be the oil temp stat?

Why the rear cooler pipe fitting James?

thermostats are the same as are the stat adapters ,rear cooler thread is the only part i can think of that could differ

Why would the rear cooler thread differ from the top one?

cooler pipe thread and fittings changed over time, i cant guarantee they are different on yours but there are 2 types for 200 and the rest of oil adapater are the same ie switch, filter gasket and fitting

That might be it then, so I would have to faff around with different unions to get the pipes fitted, if they were different.
Did the 12j oil filter adaptors have the ports for the oil cooler?

12j didnt have cooler pipes holes had a plug and a plate, 200 uses a coupling to secure pipe to rear hole and 19j pipe fits direct to housing iirc, it could be just the coupling i dont of hand without looking at the 2 in real

Mine use a coupling to join the pipes to the housing, like a hexagon nipple,
