^^^ depends what quality oil filter you have on the engine. IIRC the cheaper brands don't have bypass valves.

i don't know anything about what kind of noises that would be heard, but i hope i helped!

If you think you have an issue with the oil change it.

yeah good plan! i would say that anything that could become a serious issue would have my attention. have you thought about taking the filter off and flushing it with some fresh oil and replacing it? cant do any harm and woulf rule it out with out spending any cash.

I doubt very much that an oil filter would get blocked, the bottom end would be making very bad noises before that would happen.

not since ive had it....it hasnt got its original engine though, has been written off twice & is generally a bit of a shitbox, I just cant stop loving it! We bought it smashed in 2007 and rebuilt it, I think thats why. The noise only started after we replaced the auxiliary belt & tensioner & idler (all genuine pug parts) Wink

Have you tried running the engine with the auxiliary belt removed so see if it goes away?
