Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery to prevent accidental starting.
2. Locate Existing Filter: Identify the current fuel filter housing on the vehicle’s fuel line.
3. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew the old filter using a suitable wrench, allowing fuel to drain into a container.
4. Clean the Housing: Wipe the threads and mounting surface with a clean, dry cloth to remove debris.
5. Apply Sealant (Optional): For added security, apply a thin layer of compatible fuel‑grade sealant to the threads.
6. Install WDK 962/1: Screw the new filter into place, tightening to the recommended torque of 4.5 Nm.
7. Check for Leaks: Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and inspect the filter area for any fuel leakage.
8. Final Verification: Verify that the engine runs smoothly and that fuel pressure remains within specifications.
