Product Description

The Arrowhead FILTER FUEL M79 is a fuel filter element designed for select Audi and Volkswagen models. This filter efficiently removes contaminants from diesel fuel, helping to protect your vehicle's fuel system and maintain optimal engine performance. It features a cylindrical pleated design with robust end caps and includes a circular O-ring gasket for a proper seal during installation.

This fuel filter is compatible with various Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, including models such as the Audi A3 2.0 TDI and Volkswagen Golf V and VI with 1.6, 1.9, or 2.0 TDI engines. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a clogged or failing fuel filter include hard starting, engine misfires, poor acceleration, rough idling, decreased fuel efficiency, and an illuminated engine warning light. You may also notice hesitation during acceleration or, in severe cases, the engine failing to start.

It is advisable to replace the fuel filter at the intervals recommended by your vehicle manufacturer, or sooner if you experience any symptoms of fuel flow restriction. Regular replacement helps prevent contaminants from reaching the fuel injectors and causing further engine issues.
