Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery and ensure the engine is cool before beginning work.
2. Locate the Fuel Filter: The WK 845/6 is typically positioned along the fuel line between the fuel tank and the engine intake manifold.
3. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew the existing filter using a suitable wrench, allowing any residual fuel to drain into a container.
4. Install New Filter: Align the new filter’s threaded end with the fuel line and tighten securely. Avoid over‑tightening to prevent damage to threads.
5. Check for Leaks: After installation, start the engine and inspect the filter area for any signs of fuel leakage.

Maintenance & Replacement Interval

The recommended replacement interval for the WK 845/6 varies based on driving conditions. For typical passenger car usage, a replacement every 15,000 to 30,000 miles (24,000–48,000 km) is advised. In high‑contamination environments—such as dusty or heavily polluted areas—a shorter interval may be necessary to maintain optimal engine performance.
