Fuel Filter

[ChrisH Kerry]

After reading a post recently about noisy fuel pump thought it would be a good idea to replace my fuel filter - probably never done yet anyway. The problem - p&p from Motorworks £8.50 to Ireland, so I know I read there is a car one the same. Have searched this forum but can't find reference to it so can anyone give me make/part no. so I can get one locally.
Thanks
ChrisH

Fuel filter

Did mine recently and got a filter, o ring and 2 hose clips for £24 inc VAT. Might be worth trying your local dealer?
Sorry should have said £24 from local BMW dealer

Mahle KL-145 is direct replacement for BMW OEM part 16 14 2 325 859 (which is normally a Mahle filter as well, IE just branded BMW but identical)

Same filter on a Ducati 748,016 and 996 as well as several Triumph bike models as well, so you may be able to find one from a Duke/Triumph dealer cheaper if you have one closer

Deutsch FF424 is also a direct swap with same 8mm tails and length, but its slightly narrower in diameter so you may want to change that every 25k miles rather than 323k miles

Deutsch FF424 is dirt cheap though

Thanks Fanum - that's exactly what I wanted to know

NP......

I did of course mean 32k miles (BMW service recommendation for FF change), not 323k miles

It's OK - I ignored that bit anyway as we have Kilometres over here
