Disco 2 2004 TD5 fuel filter housing

benh999 · Dec 2, 2020

Hi folks,

when I went to swap my fuel filter the housing snapped off completely just below the bolts.

I am after replacement filter housing with relevant pipe work attached.

my model is a 2004 Landmark.

can someone tell men which one to buy. I’m looking at the Mahle housing however want to make sure there is not more than one version?

cheers

Ben

filter heads are all the same just check air bleed valve and non return are fitted in right connectors

Cheers James. I assume the new Mahle One comes with all the connectors/valves pre fitted?

I Couldn’t believe how easily the brackets snapped. At first I thought it was brittle plastic however realised its metal. :-(

So Ive fitted the new Mahle fuel filter housing as the old ones metal had fatigued and the casting snapped. I fitted the new one and followed the bleeding process. Started first time and runs perfect. Got home no diesel leaks at all. However if I leave her for a bit and start her she stalls and I have to crank to get her started. Happened twice so far since the change. Will this eventually stop happening?

I checked the new Mahle housing against the OE one and all the valves etc were pre-fitted in the correct place
