Fuel filter Mann or Mahle
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
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
Part number: WK61424X
I replaced my V7 III fuel filter with a Mann MWK 44.
Pros: Easy replacement
Part number: MWK 44
I had a spare intake so I took the two sensors from that fuel rail and swapped those along with a Mann 6.6 bar fuel filter onto the car. Started the car and it turned on and ran wonderful (so it seemed).
Pros: ran wonderful
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Brand new Mahle fuel filter
Pros: brand new
I’m going with genuine BMW hoses and MAHLE fuel filter hoping this time it lasts and nothing rips
The mahle looks more like a traditional fuel filter.

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 best would be OEM. But Mann is what I used to replace mine. Didn\u2019t feel any difference though and I had about 108k on my car.
Cons: didn't feel any difference
Mileage: 108000 km
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
