Trying to order a fuel filter for my 6Y2 1198cc 47KW 64HP FABIA MK1 2006

 

Without taking it off - how do I work out which to buy - looking on Halfords site ?

 

Had a look under neath and cannot see any markings on the existing filter

 

Tell me the VIN (or reg number) and I can tell you the genuine part number to match, and bar rating of the regulator part.

 

Hi Pete

 

that is very good of you.

The reg is OV55XZB

Genuine part number for your car including 3 bar pressure regulator is 6Q0 201 051 B.

that's been superseded by 6Q0 201 051 H.

 

Other readers with same BME engine code should not assume that it's the same for theirs.  Some have 4 bar systems, I believe, and getting it wrong will cause no end of trouble.

Judging by the fact that your car does appear to have an EGR valve (to the right of exhaust manifold as you look into engine bay?), it's possible that the change in fuel pressure coincides with the removal of this valve in later cars with BME engines. Not sure though.

This one ?
https://www.halfords.com/car-parts?cgid=165539&pid=503440948

 

"Sorry page not found"

 

I am sorry - Halfords site will not give me a link that i can share.

 

Same one on ECP

 

https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/crosland-fuel-filter-503440948

 

Can't see any useful details on that ECP page, or the product details page. Typically unhelpful.

 

Does it say anything about the pressure rating on the Halfords page?

 

Why are you changing it? Generally a waste of time and money, and almost never solves a problem. Unless wrong one currently fitted.

I had a problem a few weeks ago with a rough engine - stalling.
Hard exceleration seemed to cure and get me home.
Thought it was a duff coil pack but after checking on diagnostics there was a thin fuel on bank one error.
Changed the coil pack anyway as I had a spare and cleared the error which has not returned but I thought possibly some crap via the filter may have caused the fault

 

Under specifications on ECP it states "2 Connectors,3 Bar Pressure Regulator,with integrated pressure regulator,with pressure regulator"

 

 

Ah, OK, that probably is the right one then. Until you put reg number in that Specifications tab isn't there.

 

I'd think it's extremely unlikely that fault is being caused by a fuel filter issue.

Much more likely an air leak. Have you checked the brake servo vacuum hose recently?

 

I wlll have another look - more carefully. I sort of discounted that as I would have thought an air leak would throw the same error quite quickly.

Thanks for the help on the fuel filter - going to have replace anyway as I am changing the drive belt on Saturday with the help of my mechanic friend

Unused to be able to tell by looking at the top and the screws that held it on 🙂 haven't done one for a while now
