Fuel filter
This is the fuel filter on my 2008 ML320 CDI. I am wanting to order one of FCP Euro. They have multiple ones listed. I would also like to change the fuel lines to it. I see they also have it as a kit. Do I stick with MB or is Mann okay as well?

The photo shows a serious mistake.
official Mercedes procedures expressly prohibit the use of screw type clamps at filter connections.
the requirement is new CLIC clamps each change.
sorry, but you will have to own a CLIC clamp pliers.
of course these are not everyday hoses as the pressures are high.
the Mann kit should be fine, as FCP is a reputable, skilled company.
