Review on πŸš€ Enhance Engine Performance with the MAHLE Original KL 156/3 Fuel Filter by Andrew Webster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Filter for 2012 VW Jetta SE 2.5L

This is the correct fuel filter (4.0 bar) for the 2.5L engine. Easy to change (there is a video on YouTube). There is no need to remove the fuel pump fuse: this will not drain the fuel system and there will be no pressure. A small amount of fuel will drip, so be prepared and stay out of the way. I changed mine at 90,000 miles and cut the old one open to see how dirty it was and gosh it was really dirty. I had previously changed the fuel filter on another car at 40,000 miles and it was almost new inside so I stretched it to 90,000 this time but that was too much. Next time I'll switch between 60K and 80K.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
