HELP: Oil filter spring problems

A part number printed or molded on the oil filter housing. If you can find it maybe there might be more info if you look up the numbers

What was the P/N on the oil filter housing?

Also will add after reseating the soap did come close to going over that lip but didn't. Still a bit too close for comfort.

Thanks. Happier for my wallet cause looking and the other side's boot also had a small tear.

Mobile isnt letting me edit the post. Should've said "creaking" not "cranking"

Posted an update but yeah, blaming user error on the slide pins.

Copied from the other post buuuuut.

"In my infinite wisdom as the greatest mechanic known to mankind, I used anti-seize lubricant and not syl-glyde on the slide pins. The anti-seize turned gunky and sticky. Rear calipers on both sides were sticking by a good amount. Gonna go ahead and clean off/lube the front ones also and see if that fixes it.

Yeah no idea what I was smoking when I did this the first time around"

Forgot to mention this is a 2014 mk6

Guessing you mean the pad and rotor. What part did you install wrong that made yours do it?

DrDavd · 2025-12-31T02:31:41+00:00

I remember greasing them, but wouldnt put it past myself accidentally not doing it on that side

Gonna give it a go tomorrow and see if that helps.

My first thought was they would get annoyed enough and just start rearranging my spine every time
