Which fuel filter??? (SOLVED)
Hello. I have a 1981 1.6 GTI and have just been to get a fuel filter from the main dealer. The part no I have been given is 251 201 551 G. It looks like this
I always thought it was the cylindrical metal thing in the engine bay. Does this filter fit somewhere else (near the petrol tank perhaps) or have I got the wrong part? :dontknow:
Thanks
Alex

This is the in-line fuel filter which goes on the fuel line hose on the way to your carb.
How much did you pay at the Main Stealer for it?

Wrong part if you ask me
like you say, it's the larger metal filter that bolts on top of the air filter housing/fuel metering unit

That's what I thought… Just wandered if there was an inline filter somewhere else that I didn't know about!
Can anyone confirm the part no I want is 431 133 511 D?
Thanks
