Engine cover

Can anyone help one of our members?

I'm trying to do a standard service but am unable to remove the top of the oil filter. The Filter has a plastic molded top which includes a nut which is 35mm across. By the looks of the instructions in the Haynes manual I need a special tool to remove it. Do you know where I might be able to get such a tool?

Hi Graeme..i normally use a 36mm socket to remove the top cover ..it works fine..i assume it is a D5..

There seems to be quite a lot of these (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-Oil-Filter-Wrench-Tool-Socket-S40-S60-S80-V70_W0QQitemZ300135947098QQihZ020QQcategoryZ10432Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) on ebay but doesn't say they are for the Diesel? not sure.

I got one of these, fits fine, but is a 3/8" drive, postage seems a little steep on this one though !
