MANN‑FILTER Fuel Filter WK 6008

The MANN‑FILTER Fuel Filter WK 6008 is a high‑performance in‑line fuel filter designed for passenger cars that demand reliable protection against contaminants and optimal engine efficiency. Developed by the renowned German manufacturer MANN‑FILTER, this component delivers superior filtration while maintaining low pressure drop, ensuring your vehicle’s fuel system operates at peak performance.

Key Features

• Advanced Filtration Technology: Utilises a multi‑layer filter media that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, protecting the fuel injectors and combustion chamber from wear.
• Low Pressure Drop: Engineered to minimise resistance in the fuel line, preserving fuel pressure and engine response.
• Durable Construction: Made with high‑grade polypropylene housing that resists corrosion, temperature extremes, and chemical attack from fuels.
• Easy Installation: Designed for quick removal and replacement without the need for special tools; compatible with standard fuel line fittings.
• OEM Quality Assurance: Meets or exceeds original equipment specifications for a wide range of passenger cars, ensuring reliability and longevity.

Technical Specifications

Vehicle Compatibility

The WK 6008 is engineered for a broad spectrum of passenger vehicles that use a 55 mm outer diameter fuel line. It is particularly suited to:

• Compact and mid‑size cars with inline or V‑engine configurations.
• Diesel and gasoline engines requiring high filtration standards.
• Vehicles equipped with electronic fuel injection systems where maintaining clean fuel is critical.

For a definitive fitment check, consult the vehicle’s service manual or MANN‑FILTER compatibility database using the model year, engine type, and fuel system specifications.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental ignition of fuel vapors.
2. Relieve Fuel Pressure: Use a pressure relief valve or a dedicated tool to vent the fuel system safely.
3. Remove Old Filter: Loosen the fittings on either side of the existing filter. Carefully detach the old unit, allowing any residual fuel to drain into a suitable container.
4. Prepare New Filter: Inspect the PTFE sealing ring for damage. If necessary, replace it with a new one supplied in the package.
5. Install WK 6008: Slide the filter onto the fuel line, ensuring correct orientation of the flow direction arrow. Tighten fittings securely but avoid over‑tightening to prevent cracking.
6. Re‑pressurise System: Reconnect the battery and restore fuel pressure using a pump or by starting the engine briefly.
7. Check for Leaks: Inspect all connections for any signs of fuel leakage. Tighten as needed.

Maintenance & Replacement Interval

The recommended replacement interval for the WK 6008 depends on driving conditions and vehicle type. For most passenger cars operating under normal conditions, a yearly inspection is advised. In high‑contamination environments (e.g., dusty or off‑road use), consider replacing every six months to maintain optimal fuel system health.
