The MANN‑FILTER Fuel Filter WK 854/4 is a premium replacement part engineered to deliver optimal protection for the engine’s fuel system. Designed with precision and built to OEM standards, this filter ensures that only clean, contaminant‑free fuel reaches the combustion chamber, thereby safeguarding performance, efficiency, and longevity.

Key Technical Specifications

• Outer Diameter: 84 mm (Ø84 mm)
• Height: 170 mm (H170 mm) – also available in a 171 mm variant for certain models
• Thread Size: 1/2‑inch screw‑on (standard automotive fuel filter thread)
• Material: High‑grade polypropylene housing with reinforced filter media
• Filter Media: Multi‑layer polyester and activated carbon blend for superior particulate and chemical filtration
• Flow Rate: Maintains engine‑rated fuel flow under normal operating conditions
• Pressure Drop: Low resistance to ensure efficient fuel delivery without compromising performance

Compatibility Overview

The WK 854/4 filter is engineered for a wide range of passenger vehicles, particularly those from the European market. Its design aligns with original equipment specifications for:

• CITROËN – JUMPER, RELAY, BOXER series (including 2.0 L and 2.3 L diesel variants)
• FIAT – DUCATO, VAMPIRE, PUNTO, and other passenger models with 1.9–2.8 L engines
• PEUGEOT – BOXER, JUMPER, RELAY, and various van configurations (2.0 D, 2.3 D, 2.8 D)
• Other OEMs that specify an 84 mm outer diameter and 170–171 mm height fuel filter

Because the filter’s dimensions and thread size match those of the original equipment, it can be installed without modification to the vehicle’s fuel system.

Installation Procedure

1. Safety First: Disconnect the battery and relieve fuel pressure using a dedicated pump or by removing the fuel line clamp.
2. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew the existing filter from the fuel rail. Dispose of it according to local regulations.
3. Prepare New Filter: Remove any protective packaging and inspect for damage. Ensure the filter is oriented correctly – the side with the “MANN” logo should face outward.
4. Screw On: Align the threads and tighten by hand until snug, then give an additional quarter turn with a wrench (do not overtighten).
5. Re‑pressurize System: Reconnect the battery, restore fuel pressure, and check for leaks.
6. Test Drive: Verify smooth engine operation and confirm that no warning lights appear on the dashboard.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Fuel Quality: The multi‑layer media captures fine particulates, oil mist, and chemical contaminants, preventing them from reaching the fuel injectors.
• Engine Protection: By filtering out debris, the filter reduces wear on critical components such as fuel pumps, injectors, and valves.
• Improved Fuel Efficiency: Clean fuel flow allows the engine to operate at peak efficiency, potentially reducing consumption by up to 1–2 % in real‑world conditions.
• Extended Component Life: Reduced contamination translates into longer service intervals for injectors and pumps, lowering maintenance costs over time.
• Consistent Performance Across Conditions: The filter’s low pressure drop ensures reliable operation even at high engine loads or in hot climates.

Quality Assurance & Compliance

The WK 854/4 is manufactured under strict quality control protocols that meet or exceed ISO 9001:2015 standards. It complies with European emission regulations, ensuring that vehicles equipped with this filter continue to meet Euro 6 and other stringent environmental requirements.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Replace the fuel filter every 20,000–30,000 km, or sooner if driving in dusty or high‑contamination environments.
• Inspect the filter housing for cracks or deformation before each replacement cycle.
• Use only genuine MANN‑FILTER parts to guarantee compatibility and performance.
