Fuel filter Bosch or Mahle
The mahle looks more like a traditional fuel filter.
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I do have a new Mahle fuel filter to install.
I went with mahle from fcp, job is easy the only thing I can bitch about is the metal plate covering it
Pros: job is easy
Cons: metal plate covering it
all pumps are Carter brand and the fuel filter is Mahle.
VDO is OE and can be got for €120~. Get a fuel filter for €15 from Bosch, part of your maintenance anyway.
Pros: affordable price, easy maintenance
You should just buy the Mahle or Mann filter (in that order) and replace the whole thing. Your vacuum line running to it could also be leaking.
Cons: vacuum line leaking
Vehicle:
BMW
Part number: KL96
Take out the fuel pump assembly again, replace your filter (Mahle KL145) while you're there, and recheck all connections.
Pros: replace filter, recheck connections
Part number: KL145
Recently, (about 2 weeks ago) I did a new fuel filter, new spark plugs, new plug wires, new distributor rotor and cap.
I had a spare, new Bosch fuel filter, so I went ahead and swapped that in just in case the other new filter had issues.
Pros: new filter swapped in
Cons: filter had issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Filter is a Mahle, it's the one from VW Parts Place, so I'm daring to assume it's ok
Pros: assuming it's ok
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
