Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental engine start.
2. Locate the Filter: The WK 718/2 is typically positioned near the fuel rail or along the fuel line, secured by a threaded housing.
3. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew the filter housing counterclockwise. Carefully lift out the old filter, allowing any residual fuel to drain into a container.
4. Install New Filter: Place the new WK 718/2 into the housing, aligning it with the threaded surface. Tighten clockwise until snug, but avoid overtightening which could damage threads.
5. Re‑connect Battery and Test: Reattach the battery, start the engine, and check for any leaks or abnormal noises. The filter should operate silently without affecting fuel pressure.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the filter every 20,000–30,000 km, or sooner if driving in dusty or harsh environments.
• Avoid using aftermarket filters that do not meet OEM specifications; they may compromise fuel system integrity.
• Inspect the filter housing for cracks or corrosion before each replacement to ensure a proper seal.
• Keep the surrounding area clean during installation to prevent contamination of the new filter.
