So it is only the filter on the actuator side that needs to come out,as I found there is a filter on the head connection 2 ( might as well do these while the heads are off)

some have a filter on the head side, but no need to remove them if they are there as the oil flow keeps it in place

Is this the same sort of thing that I saw something about a filter in a banjo bolt clogging and wrecking turbos?

Anyone got a pic on where that is, getting an 04 WRX and don't want it consuming turbos

Slight hijack, but anyone heard of oil pickups breaking off where the bolt onto the engine and starving the engine of oil = death???

Saw it mentioned on an Aus WRX forum, and wonder if it's a real problem or a few people that have had a turn of bad luck

Yup was my deduction as well

will remove the filter and put them aside

It does happen, don't think it's particularly common though... I inspected mine when I upgraded my sump and it had no signs of fatigue. If you google it you'll see that look quite nasty when they're near failure!

So there's one of these screens to do on each side of the motor?

[Guest]

yes

Thanks. Tomorrow's job....

Got oil in the big plug on the drivers side too - Ichi, got any sensors available at the mo for exchange??
