Hi folks,

Can anyone advise which fuel filter is correct for my application?

I’ve searched the usual parts places eg GSF, Opie, ECP, Parts in motion, Autodoc but not one of them tell me the exact fuel filter to use.

I’ve done a little research it’s for my 2011 Octavia Mk2 2.0TDI 140 version with CFHC engine code.

I’ve even noted the part number on the canister 1k0 127 399 CL but still can’t find any reference to which filter should be in the canister.

I’m assuming the canister part number is superseded and the after market fuel filters are referencing the later number perhaps?

Anyone help?

TIA

Nick

Message me with VIN, please Nick.

Hi Pete,

Messaged you the Vin

Thanks

Nick

Armed with VIN, it appears to be the part number shown in the green box.

The one below the green box is for the housing (3C0127400E) that is greyed out within the orange box of 'Pos. 1s', so I'm assuming that is not suitable for yours.

No idea why your housing has a misleading part number label on it. Probably a 'subassembly' that doesn't exist in the spare parts catalogue.

3C0 127 434 filter element with gasket is a mere £41.15 + VAT from Skoda. 😆

I remember there being a short and a longer housing and filters.

Suggest measuring the housing length/dimensions to help you get the right part.

Thanks for the help chaps.

But wow why on earth is getting the right fuel filter so blooming complicated

Trouble is the previous owner old boy said he replaced the fuel filter a couple of years back but didn’t log the service or the part used hence yes I could see what filter is currently fitted by removing it but I don’t really know if he’s fitted the correct filter anyway as there’s so many choices even some only 1mm different on height etc.

Use my part number in ebay with word genuine, and you get item number 277634634997

New genuine at about half price compared with dealership if you use the coupon.

Cheers Pete
