Serviced my 04 110 but no the Centrifugal Oil Filter is making an odd noise...

When the engine is turned off it runs down but it sounds wrong, it doesnt sound like a smooth run down almost like a cross between a gargle and a rattle.

First thing was to change the genuine LR filter (ford marked) for another genuine filter, same noise. Seemed to spin fine with the cap off, no damage to the oring or the housing (bar a stripped thread on the engine side)

Couldnt feel anything off inside the housing either, no muck, bits or swarf. Just oil.

Could I have done the bolts up too tight? or any other ideas?

Cheers

I've been through quite a few filters in my 70,000 miles of TD5 motoring and they all sound a bit different. If there's a noise then at least they're trying to go round. When you've just changed them they're a bit more noisy because it takes a little while for them to fill up and get heavier.
 
Mine came in a filter kit from JGS, iirc it was bearmach,

Spoke to both of them both about the noise and they said the classic, "never heard of that".....:rolleyes:

Anyway got another from JGS and it was a lot quieter, so ran that , now it is as quiet as the original LR one I removed at the start.

Cheers
 
Having said that.

I have used the same kit of filters on two further td5's this summer and both of them are nice and quiet.

Cheers

Hi bud, you don't need to change the centrifugal housing. Just drill out the thread all the way through, and replace with a longer bolt and a nut. Mine was stripped when I had mine and did this, its absolutely fine. Or you could get a helicoil kit. The bolt that stripped on mine is typically the one closest to the engine, but I just means I take the cartridge filter off first each time to access the lower bolt! Fairly easy!
 
Sometimes there's a bit of thread that's intact deeper in the hole, so a bolt of the same diameter and a few mm longer can still get a grip. They don't need to be very tight - just enough to stop them undoing - because the sealing effect is provided by the rubber ring.
