Title: best brand of fuel filter
Post by: dyoungen on October 08, 2009, 08:05:31 am

I have lost my prime again and was wondering what is the prefered brand of fuel filter?  The filter on the 1985 Jetta now doesn't have a name on it. The only printing I saw was "Made in Isreal 12977". It has the water drain on the bottom middle.

I'm rather fond of WIX filters, but have had good luck with Bosch as well. :)
