Good to know that the filter change has resolved the problem. Was the job straight forward?
Changed the V70's this morning and was concerned that I might have a problems such as releasing the pipes, but as it turned out the problem I encountered was unexpected.
Sprayed the mounting screw with rust release a couple of days ago so didn't expect to have such trouble undoing it and was worried the nut would strip or break off. Fortunately it didn't.
Releasing the pipes and refitting to the new filter was easy. Trouble was getting the mounting bracket screw back as the holes did not line up easily due to the bracket being slightly distorted when releasing, resulting in the screw constantly cross threading. Finally resolved it by using a slightly longer screw to engage the nut without having to press the bracket together with anything other than my fingers.
