Oil filter socket 1.9 TiD 9-3
« on: 29 July 2012, 11:15:31 PM »
Last couple of services I've done I have struggled with replacing the oil filter element, with various extension tools and an old socket which I have now mislaid and I can't recall the exact size. I do remember that I had to use two extensions and a universal joint and on both occasions needed to produce a bruised knuckle and re-arrange my list of swear words.
So this week I will purchase one of those nice special sockets, but there is confusion in the e-bay ads regarding the size. Is it 32mm, or 36mm? Someone please advise as I am not keen on getting one to find when I am under the car on my back it is the wrong one......
Many thanks in anticipation for this valuable piece of info

Update - size is definitely 32mm for the 9-3 1.9 TiD - info from the Vauxhall Vectra C forum (for anyone also needing to know...)
