Fuel filter Mann or Wix

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.

Wix fuel filters from rock auto are a great alternative and a fraction of the cost. I’ve been using them for about 5 years on the same model JGC

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.

For the fuel filter I used a WIX 33323 which has a convenient mounting bracket.

I replaced my V7 III fuel filter with a Mann 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.

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.

So i went and replace the fuel filter to a Mann fuel filter but that did not solve the issue.

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.

The plastic Wix ones are junk, and even the Baldwin doesn't perform as well as the OEM.
