Bosch F026400070 Air‑Filter Insert

The Bosch F026400070 Air‑Filter Insert is a high‑performance filtration element designed to protect the internal combustion engine of commercial vehicles, particularly those in the DAF LF series and other heavy‑duty applications. Manufactured by Bosch, a leader in automotive components, this filter delivers superior protection against dust, dirt, and contaminants while maintaining optimal airflow for efficient engine operation.

Key Features

• Premium Filtration Efficiency: Engineered with multi‑layer media that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, ensuring the air entering the combustion chamber remains clean and free of harmful debris.
• Durable Construction: The filter housing is made from high‑strength polypropylene, resistant to abrasion and chemical exposure, which extends service life even in harsh operating environments.
• Optimized Airflow: Designed with a low pressure drop profile, the insert allows maximum airflow while still trapping contaminants, thereby preserving engine performance and fuel economy.
• Easy Installation: The cartridge fits seamlessly into standard Bosch air‑filter housings. No special tools are required; simply slide the insert into place and secure it with the existing mounting clips.
• Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for DAF LF 45, LF 55, and related models (CE136C/CE162C/CE184C). It also matches Bosch’s APUC944 series and other OEM specifications such as S0070 and F026400070.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide
