Fuel filter help

[wolvesdaz]

Hi all i ordered a filter kit off ebay last week for my car 1.9 cdti 120 facelift this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

it came today and i set about changing the filters everything was fine the pollen filter and air filter where exact matches for my old one but when i got to the diesel filter after unscrewing the housing my old filter which was a genuine gm one you had to twist and pull out of the housing and is solid on the other end but the one they have sent me is just like the yellow one in picture and is hollow both ends and i cant see how it suppose to sit in the housing do you reckon they have sent me wrong one or is there diffrent types thanks for your help

Could be the wrong one, not sure on the 120 filter. But sounds like the same setup as the 150.

I ordered one on Ebay for the 150 engine and same thing holes in both ends
Worried if I fitted it, it would not sit correctly and end up getting crap in the engine.

Decided to get original GM filter from dealer (£24) but at least it is the proper one, locks into housing one end, sealed the other end.

The service kit is for a 16 valve which is the 150bhp
Yours is 8 valve which is 120 bhp

Update. Kit is Z19 DTL engine
Yours is Z19 DT

although it doesn't help that HP is stated as 120 on the ebay ad!

Very confusing it states on ad 120 cdti 4/04 onwards which is mine but then says its 16 valve Z19DTL engine oh well have emailed them see wot they got to say

you cant use that filter mate, i ordered a service kit etc over a week ago and i done the exact same, i had to go back and take my original filter with me and theres to show them the difference and i got it replaced for the correct one.
