A useful, succinct, no-nonsense video. Like your chilled presentation style. Been getting an oil pressure light at tick-over so needed to check that bolt so I can sleep at night. Job went well. Thanks for creating this and sharing.
To anyone thinking "this can't happen to me", it happened to me! Driving on the motorway at 70MPH I suddenly saw my oil light come on. Luckily I immediately pulled over and switched off the engine before any damage ocurred. The pulley bolt had indeed come undone. I was lucky I noticed the light come on when I did.
If you strip the thread on the centrifugal oil filter, (mine came back like that from when I let a garage service it) just drill through and put a 10 mm nut and bolt on it instead.
Thanks , great video, want to use original bolt so going to have to go the route you did and use the old bolt . What grade locktite / nutlock did you use ?
I used a cheap generic high strength/permanent studlock from repco with high heat tolerance. In an ideal world I would have used the most suitable “loctite” number... I think 272 would be good from memory, but it is important to research the different types of any threadlocker for it’s intended application before buying

Well made wee film thank you.

What mileage did this occur? Starting to worry about mine @ 96k!
@@thebouze2633 Mine failed at 145k miles. You might get lucky!
Awesome 😎 video mate 👍🏽👍🏽🇦🇺
Thank you James 👍
You made the same mistake I did. I didn’t check the relief vale plug, which also screws out apparently. I will have to drop the sump again.
Everyday is a school day. Good effort. Filming must have been difficult.
Thank’s sleepy cat! Love your videos!
@@chewypineapple736 Thank you!
Cool video mate

A nut and bolt is a good alternative to a larger bolt. In this case, the previous owner had already made the choice for me
I stripped one hole, drilled it out & put a thread repair insert in..no drama
Awesome video mate. People also say to do the oil pressure relief bolt, wondering if u ended up doing it too?
Cheers off the great video mate
