Fuel filter Wix or OEM Volkswagen

If you treat it right, the vw will outlast the Honda easily. If you're not going to be able to keep up with oil/ fluid/ dsg/ fuel filter etc... then you should get the Honda.

You may want to perform a fuel pressure test at idle and 2000rpm. If you havent done so already, replace the fuel filter.

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

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

The car has 220k km on now, and VW has had to replace the high pressure fuel pump twice (2019 and 2021), and the in tank fuel pump once while dealing with random misfire issue that has since been sorted by yearly fuel filter replacement - fuel quality in my country is very bad.

I've always used the Wix fuel filter, and it worked well I guess. Lol.

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.

Fuel filter - Wix

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.
