The gti has a paper filter inside the housing? I ordered a Bosch filter from ecp and it's not a paper filter but A metal screw on one.. will this still fit and is it correct?

As above, 36mm shallow socket designed for oil filters. I have one of these:

TBH I hadn't realised there was such a thing! Thanks for linky!

I Ordered the 3/8" drive Sealy version (also slightly cheaper!) From
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121755523240?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Has arrived and quality etc aok.

Figured as I had been using a 36mm  3/4 drive impact socket i was already well tooled up for any stuck housings :signLOL:
And my new one will be v considerably easier to work with overhead!

You can shop around on ebay and get it for the same price. The one I originally posted was the first result. Can't remember which actual link i purchased though as it was years ago
