WIX 33179 Fuel Filter for Import Applications

The WIX 33179 fuel filter is built for steady fuel-system protection in everyday driving and harsher conditions. With 10 micron cellulose media and 8 mm inlet and outlet connections, it supports clean fuel delivery for a wide range of Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Jaguar applications.

Compatible With 1980-2009 Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, Vanagon, EuroVan, Cabrio, Cabriolet, Corrado, Sharan, and Pointer applications, plus select Audi A4, A6, A4 Quattro, A6 Quattro, and S3 models. This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 0 450 905 030, 0 450 905 063) for the same application.

Key Features

  • 10 micron cellulose filter media for fine particle capture
  • Complete in-line fuel filter style for direct fuel-system service
  • 8 mm inlet and 8 mm outlet connections
  • 6.26 in. height with 3.189 in. top outer diameter
  • Built for normal and severe driving conditions, including stop-and-go traffic, short trips, dirt roads, and interstate use
  • Recommended for OEM fuel filter change intervals

Detailed Description

WIX 33179 is a complete in-line fuel filter designed to help protect the engine and fuel system from contaminants that can affect performance and drivability. The cellulose media is application-specific and sized for fuel filtration needs across select gasoline import vehicles, including Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Golf, Audi A4, and Mercedes-Benz SLK200 platforms. Its 10 micron rating supports fine filtration while maintaining the flow characteristics needed for routine service.

For drivers maintaining older Volkswagen and Audi models, the WIX 33179 fuel filter offers a service replacement that aligns with OEM-style maintenance intervals. It is also listed for select BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Nissan, and Mercedes-Benz applications, making it a practical choice for import fuel-filter service where the correct 8 mm line size and in-line configuration are required.

What It Helps Address

  • Fuel contamination from dirt, rust, and sediment
  • Restricted fuel flow caused by a loaded or aging filter
  • Rough idle or hesitation related to fuel delivery issues
  • Hard starting from reduced fuel-system cleanliness
  • Premature wear on fuel-system components from debris

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 8 mm inlet and outlet size before installation and confirm the in-line fuel filter layout matches the vehicle’s original setup. For best results, replace the filter at the manufacturer-recommended service interval and inspect surrounding fuel lines for wear, cracking, or seepage during service. Body fitment includes 2000-2009 Volkswagen Pointer, 2002-2008 Volkswagen Sharan, 2002-2006 Audi A6, 1991-2005 Volkswagen Passat, and 1998-2001 Audi A4 applications.

Quality Assurance

WIX designs this fuel filter with high-efficiency media and durable construction to support consistent performance under varied operating conditions. The 33179 is engineered as a service replacement for OEM fuel filter intervals and is backed by WIX manufacturing standards.
