Fuel filter different KL437 vs KL438

Anyone know what the difference is between the two filters 1634770701 and 1634770801?

They look identical, but show different fitments..

What vehicle are you asking about? If it's about the E55, you are on the wrong forum.

Yes, it's about fuel pressure and the vin #.

Its for my 2 month old W163 '03 ML500, you helped out in my Valeo radiator thread

Bought the car with 100k miles with everything original (no leaks, no problems), within 5k miles of my ownership everything started falling apart.. engine mounts completely died, coolant res leak, power steering leaks, radiator leak, fuel filter, and now apparently transfer case leak and engine oil leak. I understand, 100k miles, it will fail, just happened under my ownership and


Back to the fuel filter.. thanks for confirming, I knew there was the old style and new style, but didn't know fuel pressure came in different flavors
