I replaced the oil & filter on the wife's ZX 1.4 yesterday. I had fitted a Motoquip filter 5000 miles ago and really struggled to get it off yesterday. I always oil the washer and don't spin them really tight after contact, but this one was a sod to get off. What made it worse was the exceptionally thin walls of the filter which peeled away under the chain wrench, even at the base.
I have never had problems removing a filter from this car because access is so good, although in the past I've always used genuine Purflux filters which seem to be much thicker.
I fitted a Mann filter this time which also appears to be better made. I had thought Motoquip parts were okay (didn't they used to supply Peugeot own brand parts?) but won't be using another of their oil filters in a hurry.
Anyone else had similar problems?
