Title: Anyone heard of, used, or been killed by AP filters?
Post by: GastronomicKleptomaniac on 28 May 2014, 18:44:13

I've got an old 190LE in need of some work, one of the first things is to swap the fuel filter... I can get a Mahle one for £18ish from our friends at AllGermanParts, there's some listed on Ebay for £10ish, and I haven't gone and fluttered my eyelashes at the lovely parts girl at the MB dealer yet... and I want to get good parts not Chinese detritus. Any thoughts chaps?

I will be getting a full service kit too. And some door seals. And some front wings. And a partial respray. And a bonnet badge. It's a good thing I don't work ridiculous shifts... oh, hang on...

Nice old thing 190's !  I gave away a filter for one of these not long ago sadly, try GSF or eurocarparts or failing that try your local Ferrari dealer as it's the same one as fitted to the 328 and 308.
