Fuel filter Mann or OEM Volkswagen

New stuff i attended to. checked cleaned and pull apart the Warm up regulator. Was not clogged or dirty. worked fine. replaced the fuel filter, which i did notice was a little crummy. but normal.

Third filter change for me and not a trace of metal was found in the fuel filter reservoir. I plan to drive the car to approximately 75-80K depending on what I'm at in late 2018.

Last item on my service list to change was my fuel filter. The one on there was changed recently and for a genuine one. But for peace of mind and so I know when next due I changed it anyway and used the correct jubilee clamp.

Changed it tonight. idles smooth again as before it was slightly rough.

I changed the fuel filter, oops, that was a mess, but once I got all the air out of the system it's running great again.

The Mann filter isn't a cheap filter in a quality way. They make the OEM filter. It's the one you want

I really didn't think changing the fuel filter in my GLI would make much difference, particular seeing as the fuel inside the old filter looked perfectly fine. But wow, after a couple days, what a difference. I'd had some slowly-worsening issues with throttle response, particularly at low speed -- starting from a stop while engaging the clutch, or accelerating at low speed in gear. The car would bog a bit and then surge, unless I modulated the clutch and gave more throttle than I really should. Those problems immediately went away after the fuel filter change. This was at 55,000 miles. I think I'm going to have to start changing the fuel filter at about 40,000.

Fuel filter is interchangeable between many VW and Audi.

-fuel filter -fuel lines (ss braided are great)

Just try putting a new fuel filter on the car totally empty, and see what happens.
