Fuel filter

Post by Johnr32 »

looking at changing the fuel filter but not sure why there is such a big difference in price:

Also, does anyone know the part number for a genuine toyota fuel filter?

Don't know part number, but the genuine Toyota ones are around £35-£45.

Thanks for the info. Cant believe a fuel filter is that much, at that price I expect it to made of gold!
Would a non oem part be jyst as good or should I go for the original Toyota?

That is expensive but it's not nearly changed as often say a diesel which cost £40 and I change it every 20k.

I know diesels are different but mine is very fussy and only likes genuine, blueprint even bosch non genuine, have given other users problems with low fuel pressure.

Don't know how important it is on a petrol though.

Me too, it's a service part that plays a vital role and in the scheme of things isn't that expensive.

Strange but most mr2 specialist dont have this on their site. I tried mr2ben, gtschris, camskill, tcbparts and fensport- non of which are genuine toyota. Dont really want to go into the main dealers as I dont really have time to go there.
