Original MANN-FILTER Fuel filter WK 920/6 – For Passenger Cars

MANN‑FILTER Fuel Filter WK 920/6 – For Passenger Cars

The MANN‑FILTER Fuel Filter WK 920/6 is a high‑performance component engineered to protect the engine of passenger cars from contaminants that can compromise fuel quality and performance. Designed with precision filtration technology, this filter ensures that only clean, contaminant‑free fuel reaches the combustion chamber, thereby extending engine life and maintaining optimal power output.

Key Features

• Advanced Filtration Technology: Utilizes a multi‑layered media system that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, providing superior protection against dirt, rust, and other impurities.
• High Flow Capacity: Engineered to maintain fuel flow rates up to 90 % of the original specification, ensuring that engine performance is never compromised during operation.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑grade polypropylene and reinforced with a stainless steel frame, the filter resists corrosion and withstands the harsh conditions inside the fuel line.
• Easy Installation: Features a standard 6 mm threaded connection that fits most passenger car models without requiring additional adapters or modifications.
• Long‑Lasting Life Cycle: Designed for an average service interval of 30,000 km (or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer), reducing maintenance frequency and cost.

Compatibility Overview

The WK 920/6 filter is compatible with a wide range of passenger vehicles that use a 6‑mm fuel line. Common applications include:

• Front‑wheel drive sedans and hatchbacks
• Rear‑wheel drive coupes and wagons
• Compact SUVs and crossover models
• Light commercial vehicles with passenger car specifications

For a definitive fitment check, consult the vehicle’s service manual or the manufacturer’s part number list. The filter is specifically tailored for engines that require a 6‑mm fuel line diameter, ensuring a secure and leak‑free connection.

Installation Procedure

1. Safety First: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to prevent accidental ignition of fuel vapors.
2. Drain Fuel System: If necessary, drain a small amount of fuel from the line to reduce pressure during removal.
3. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew the existing filter using an appropriate wrench. Be prepared for a brief release of fuel; keep a rag handy.
4. Inspect Fuel Line: Check the inlet and outlet fittings for corrosion or damage. Replace any damaged components before installing the new filter.
5. Install WK 920/6: Align the threaded ends and tighten by hand until snug, then use a torque wrench to achieve the manufacturer’s recommended torque (typically 12–15 Nm). Avoid over‑tightening to prevent damage to the threads.
6. Re‑connect Battery: Reattach the battery terminals and start the engine. Observe for any leaks or abnormal noises.
7. Verify Operation: After a short drive, recheck the filter area for signs of leakage and ensure that the engine runs smoothly.

Maintenance Tips

• Replace the filter at every 30,000 km service interval or sooner if the vehicle operates in dusty or high‑contamination environments.
• Inspect the filter housing for cracks or wear during routine maintenance checks.
• Avoid using incompatible filters with different thread sizes; this can lead to fuel leaks and engine damage.

Benefits of Choosing MANN‑FILTER WK 920/6

• Engine Protection: By trapping contaminants, the filter prevents wear on critical components such as fuel injectors, pumps, and valves.
• Fuel Efficiency: Clean fuel flow reduces engine friction and improves combustion efficiency, potentially enhancing mileage.
• Reliability: Consistent performance across a wide range of operating conditions ensures dependable vehicle operation.
• Environmental Compliance: Proper filtration helps reduce harmful emissions by ensuring complete combustion of fuel.
