Re: Diesel particulate filter 1.6 JX

Many thanks for your responses

Not the response I was expecting though

Curiously, very little information online about retro fit filters to older diesels

Jx Power steering belt issue

I seem to have a problem finding a new belt.

I measured the length in-situ approx 800 mm x 8 or 9 mm wide.

Does anyone else have this belt and know where I can get a new one?

Appreciate any responses
