Wix Fuel filter

I was able to remove the inner part of the WIX filter element while replacing the filter for some inspection. It was solid black. I drained the fuel that was in the housing of the used filter into a container and it had black flakes in it.

Cons: solid black, black flakes

Wix Fuel filter

Hi I replaced my OE VW Audi fuel filter with a Wix. Everyone on Reddit seemed to say it would be okay. Now my fuel filter is leaking and I cannot drive the TDI or get to work this week. I replaced the O-rings.

Cons: fuel filter leaking
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Wix Fuel filter

The wix oil filters worked well for me. The fuel filters not so much, I had a fuel water separator failure and injector failures because the wix filter was slightly shorter than the Mopar filters that I've been using.

Pros: oil filters worked well
Cons: fuel filter failure
