1st one

9 valves, 4 wheel drive, 3 cylinders, 1 turbo, which got nicked

first one?? from the filter then in the pipe and to the block; not this way, the oil flow come from the pump to the hole above the pressure valve to the pipe linking the oil filter and from this directly in the block .

2nd one

unless you're reversing, then it goes the other way!!!

oil comes up from the sump via the oil pick up pipe... then into the oil pump... throught the oil filter and then into the main oil gallery

From here it goes round the bearing and up to the head (at the same time, not one after the other).

Does that answer your question?

I'd run one pre cooler and post cooler so you can see what the effect is :)

I know i know, im doing Vegards job but hey ho.

Ive fitted my remote oil filter and not thought about what direction the oil goes, guess what ive plumbed it in wrong (ive plumbed it in backwards), theyres an arrow indicating the direction pf the oil flow does it matter which was the oil goes through the filter?? If it does its gunna be a right pita?? Any thoughts would be great.

Hi,
Yes it does matter as the larger area of the filter is on the outside so the oil needs to go in that way or it'll clog up real quick!
