Can someone confirm the correct fuel filter for me
When you order them from the motor factors etc they come with the fuel flow direction the opposite way round.
The only one I found correct is the MAHLE KL5. Just order one of these.
I ordered a KL5 and every supplier sent their cross reffed alternative which was back to front.

I have a new spare filter so will check the flow direction on it.

Yes it’s odd on mine it’s back to front.
So only the KL5 fits on mine.
Also I think the union bolts are different thread sizes.
You should be able to order one off the part number on your existing.
The new spare one that doesn’t fit mine is on the far right of the piccy.
It’s going begging if you need it.

It’s just weird how these are either the wrong way round or a different diameter.

I think you are right, 2 different size banjo bolts used for the filter..
you can see mine fitted to a 1988 car in the bottom of this thread..

The bigger filter is cheaper and easier to find.
