Surprised to hear this Gremlin, I agree you would think it would be the other way around! overfinch modified |

Yes, that's right Gremlin and something I've thought about previously.

Has it always been bigger? were the earlier TDV6 engines fitted with a smaller filter that was later quietly upgraded by JLR in an effort to reduce the number of crank failures?

No. It's always been the same on the 3.0 since the engine came out in 2009. There was a change in the filter and associated housing design when the 2.7 was partially re-designed to form the 3.0. Kev

The larger filter is needed to absorb the bits of crankshaft, bearings and rings 😂➡️ 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

Nonsense - It's all a myth, there is no problem with the crankshafts apparently |

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that? |

From my basic understanding, the 6 engine was designed for smaller engine bays and even transverse fitting, it has a smaller number of main bearings for the crank shaft than the 8 engine.

So it seems that my comment about being crank related wasn't far away.
