GLPoomobile 958 Posted February 11, 2008 As a few others have done recently, I want to fit a smaller 106 fuel filter on my Mi, but there are two options on Servicebox: 1567 86 - until date 19951002 - £18.44 1567 93 - after date 19951002 - £10.93 Is there any significant difference between the two? All I need is for it to flow enough and to have ends that accepts 8mm (5/16") ID hose. I'll go with the cheaper one if there's no difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 189 Posted February 11, 2008 That looks like the Phase 1/2 changeover, but AFAIK, either's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablister 31 Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) it'll just have different style connectors. One will have the quick release conenctors and the other will have the rubber hose and fuel clips. i have lots of genuine petrol fuel filters that i receive in service kits that i never use that you are welcome to if you pay P+P Edited February 11, 2008 by ablister Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the sake of the topic, can you or anyone else explain what these quick release connectors are? I've got stainless steel braided fuel hose with proper hose clips and those rubber fittings that keep the hose tidy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got stainless steel braided fuel hose with proper hose clips and those rubber fittings that keep the hose tidy. basically they look similar to that clip on the left hand of this pic. there designed to be unclipped easily and quickly but thats never usually the case http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y54/pugger/pump_removal.jpg mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablister 31 Posted February 11, 2008 as above really. Just 2 buttons that release the connector from the filter instead of the rubber hose sliding over the filter and being secures with fuel/jubilee clips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c_r_thomson 0 Posted February 13, 2008 So which filter is the one with the rubber hose/jubilee fitting the older one or the cheaper one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey S 29 1 Cars Posted February 15, 2008 So which filter is the one with the rubber hose/jubilee fitting the older one or the cheaper one? im 99% sure that its the earlier filter. check at your local motor factors, will be about 5 times cheaper than pug.

welshpug 1,623 Posted February 15, 2008 IIRC a ZX16v fuel filter is quite similar, either way I would just pop down to a local motor factors and see what they have to offer, have a flick through the Filters applications catalogues, you might find that its the same filter!
