As per the thread title, I'm ordering up some stuff from amazon - and whilst I'm at it - need to get an oil filter removal tool. Question is - i'm not sure which one I need for a 2008 Fiesta 1.4 Tdci (03-08 - i think that makes it Mk6??).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Mk 6 03 - 05

Mk 6.5 05 - 08

Mk 7 08 - 12

Mk 7.5 12 - on

Do they still use a canister type filter or are they a paper element?

Thanks Willy. I guess that makes it a Mk 6.5 then.

I honestly don't know. Have never bothered doing any diy servicing - just deciding to go that route now.

I guess this should do the trick?;

If you can have a look on euro car parts, put your reg in and have a look at the filter. I have a feeling it's a paper element type, which you will need a large hex socket to remove the plastic holder

Looks like you're right. Input my reg on one of those sites and it's suggesting this;

I don't have a hex set. I'm not sure if I'm going to be doing enough tinkering to justify buying a full set. Any way of finding out which hex size is needed? Perhaps I can pick something up individually that will do the job.....

I know on my mondeo and a few other cars I have serviced it's been 36mm
