vs
Fuel filter Mann or Bosch
Every single BMW I have ever owned has come to me with the factory date coded filter, every single one gets a new Mann in it and every time it runs better. Change your fuel filter ppl.
Pros: runs better
Vehicle:
BMW
Possibly bad seals on the filter. Had one earlier this year that would do the same. Changed the filter for a Bosch model and the problem went away.
Pros: problem went away
Cons: bad seals
Vehicle:
Renault Kangoo
I replaced my fuel filter/regulator with a new one from Bosch, and the little rubber fuel injection hoses connected to it.
After I cycled ignition like 5 times to build fuel pressure it started to make this sound.
Struggled a bit after starting it but after 20 seconds settled and it now drives good.
Car feels solid no lack of power or nothing.
I dare to say it even drives better than before.
Pros: drives better than before, car feels solid
Cons: struggled a bit after starting
Vehicle:
BMW
I do the air filter every second service (12k) and the fuel filter every 18k, or third service.
Pros: easy DIY job
Mileage: 18000 km
How old is that fuel filter? The "die on a hill" is a typical scenario for these old EFI Japanese cars when the filter is beyond saving.
Pros: typical scenario, filter beyond saving

Start by replacing the ancient NAPA fuel filter, and only use a Bosch version.

I replaced my V7 III fuel filter with a Mann MWK 44.
Pros: Easy replacement
Part number: MWK 44
I had a Mann fuel filter from the previous owner so gave that to the shop. They called and said it was a fuel filter not an oil filter so they didn't need it.
the inlet side of the filter being completely gunked with black varnish.
Cons: gunked with black varnish
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
So i went and replace the fuel filter to a Mann fuel filter but that did not solve the issue.
Cons: did not solve issue
Vehicle:
BMW
