Fuel Filter for C204 need help choosing.

[Stephen Collom]

Hi
I am new to this forum but not to Mercedes cars as I have had a number of them over the years.

But trying to choose a fuel filter for my 2011 C204 C220 AMG coupe is a little "trying"
I know the proper one is a A6510902852 which was updated from the previous version.

What I would like to know is can I use a A6510902952 in place of the original as these are
significantly lower cost.

The A6510902952 is fitted to the Sprinter the only difference physically is the longer tube.
It is described as having the water sensor and fuel heater fitted. Is this so.

The 2852 and the 2952 are the same physical size and appear to have similar specs
What to do for the best, any help would be appreciated

Thanks Steve

Check as there is a recall on these, mine was replaced by the dealer

Otherwise I would use one of these

MANN-FILTER Fuel Filter | Euro Car Parts

Code SALE60 drops the price to £40

Buy one with the heater in if that's whats fitted . I used a bosch filter from parts in motion on ebay .


£43 https://www.partsinmotion.co.uk/car-parts/filters/fuel-filters/bosch-fuel-filter-f026402839-detail


Mine was a c250 but should be the same.

Go to the dealers and get the right one for your vehicle. It will fit and it will be right.
