Best fuel filter for mk6

Hey,

Does anyone have any good recommendations for the best quality (lowest micron) fuel filter for a stock 2013 Golf TDi?

I have searched various forums and getting lots of hits for 1 & 2 micron filters but they all require a new housing.

Thanks

Look up Dietzl mod $8 and use a $6 Cat filter.
Dietzl mod
Read this thread to answere any questions with flow vs Micron size and whats good and bad.

MANN is a great stock filter. Change it every 10k
Dont worry about micron. 1 micron is great if it's a glass mat filter like the Nicktane fuel filter mod. But that sucker is $100 bucks. Not too fimilure with the mk6 so no input what's best for it but that thread should answere any questions you have about flow. Imo OEM style is usually best for things like filters

My CP3 kit came with a super nice aluminum filter head that attached to the existing filter housing. First the fuel got OE filtration, then it went through a large 1 micron Cimtek spin-on filter.

But why? Many, many people have gone hundreds of thousands of miles using just the stock filter. What benefit exactly do you expect to gain?

In Canada Either VW Dealer wich could be a MANN Oil Filter anyway... i use this kind its a little cheaper buying from ct vs Stealer dealer. the CT i went to is ordering more mann oil filters. & yes online is cheaper too.

I'm not expecting any performance benefit, I was asking if anyone had any suggestions for the next best filter instead of going secondary fuel filter route.

Hey John,
That link is for an oil filter. What do you use for a fuel filter?

Cheers

My suggestion: phone Franco's on Lorne Street (250) 374-1923 and ask what they recommend. It will be OEM and they probably even sell it for a fair price.

I'd personally stay away from anything at Canadian Tire... almost exclusively Fram.

Roseland.

I would use the filter element that is the same company as the filter assembly. It will say on the side. It is usually Mann, but it could be UFI.

The dealers often sell UFI replacements for Mann, though. Either will work fine, but I tend to feel the fit is best with the OEM manufacturer.

No complants here about C.T. or using there products/parts & if i came in & was looking for a particular item they always would go out of there way to help find it for me. its where i buy my Mann filters particularly my Mann Oil Filter there cheaper than anyone else. & if they dont stock it they will order them in.
