Which fuel filter is the best?
I am looking to buy a fuel filter i was wondering what would you guys recommend I see it in the DIY 55K it is a UFI fuel filter i don't mind spending $40 for the genuine an extra $15 instead for quality but if they perform the same i don't mind saving that either
could you guys recommend which fuel filter i should use thanks in advance!
This is the genuine
Audi C6 A6 Quattro V6 3.2L - 4F0201511E - Fuel Filter - ES#390198
This is 2nd
Audi C6 A6 Quattro V6 3.2L - 4f0201511ehe - Fuel Filter - ES#2550337
3rd option
Audi C6 A6 Quattro V6 3.2L - 4F0201511E - Fuel Filter - ES#250315
last option
Audi C6 A6 Quattro V6 3.2L - 4F0201511E - Fuel Filter - ES#2215279
I am trying to troubleshoot these issues here this weekend i would have cleaned the throttle body and have the new fuel filter in!https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-...d-off-2888730/

I'd go with MANN or Mahle.
I'm fairly certain I fitted the MANN when I did that task 55k miles ago on our Avant.

I was researching this not long ago and came to the undesirable conclusion that EVERY fuel filter for our cars is now made in China--even VAG and Mann.
Unless there is some old German stock sitting on a shelf somewhere.....

One I ordered has not made it yet. It was supposed to be delivered by Thursday. I went ahead bought the one from Napa auto parts. Made in China. Just like the original. Also cleaned the throttle body engine light went away on its own. Then came back on after 15 minutes of driving. Then it went away after i filled it up with full tank of gas so far it's only been 12 hours since the fuel filter change. I will drive the car a bit more to see if the light comes back on and check for any codes tomorrow. Thank you very much for the input.
