Review on Hayden Automotive 291 Remote Filter by Justin Boisvert

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not suitable for my vehicle - application manual needs updating

Not suitable for VW Touareg 2008. Called the manufacturer and they said they would apologize and update their application guide. I would like to use it as the parts seem to be of good quality. But the manual is wrong. The problem isn't Revain, it's the manufacturer's instructions. As a general guideline for anyone considering this item, once you see the hardware it will be obvious that it only works for motors that are already of the spin-on type. oil filter. If your engine has a cartridge filter it will not work for your application no matter what the application manual says. I'm sure there are many spin-on types that this device won't fit anyway, and I think the manufacturer's application manual would be the best source of information in this situation, but if your filter is a cartridge type. it will not work. Still I found it well done and if it worked it would make my oil change a little easier.

Pros
  • Oil cooler and engine kits
Cons
  • Very expensive
