Vauxhall Opel Astra MK VII K Diesel Fuel Filter Element with Gasket Kit 106mm

This diesel fuel filter element serves as a direct replacement component for Vauxhall Astra MK VII (K) and Opel Astra K models produced from 2015 onwards. Designed to maintain optimal fuel system performance, it filters contaminants from diesel fuel before entering the engine's injection system. The unit comes as a complete assembly including all necessary gaskets for proper installation, making it suitable for both professional garage use and experienced DIY mechanics working on these specific vehicle models.

Features and Construction

The filter assembly combines filtration efficiency with precise dimensional specifications to ensure compatibility with the targeted vehicle models. Its construction addresses the specific requirements of modern diesel fuel systems found in Astra K series vehicles.

Material and Build

The filter element contains specialised filtration media designed to capture particulates and contaminants present in diesel fuel. This helps protect sensitive fuel injection components from damage. The included gasket kit consists of sealing materials engineered to create a proper seal between filter housing components, preventing fuel leaks and maintaining system pressure.

Size and Practical Fit

With a height of 106mm, outer diameters of 88mm and 90mm, and an inner diameter of 24.5mm, the filter matches the exact specifications required by the Astra MK VII (K) platform. These precise dimensions ensure proper fitment within the vehicle's existing filter housing without modification. The dual outer diameter specification accommodates variations in housing design across different production dates or model specifications.

Uses and Placement

This filter serves a specific function within the fuel systems of compatible vehicles, with applications ranging from routine maintenance to repair scenarios where fuel system components require replacement.

Event or Professional Use

For professional mechanics and service centres, this filter provides an exact replacement part that meets factory specifications for Vauxhall and Opel Astra K vehicles. Its compatibility with multiple factory part numbers including 23304095, 23304096, 22937279, 23456595, 23459023, PU9012Z, and TP1015 makes it suitable for various service scenarios across different vehicle identification numbers and production batches.

Everyday Home Use

For vehicle owners performing their own maintenance, this complete filter and gasket kit eliminates the need to source components separately. The single-unit packaging contains everything required for a filter change, reducing the chance of missing critical sealing components. This approach helps ensure proper installation even for those with moderate mechanical experience.

Benefits and Buying Value

The filter offers practical advantages through its specific design and compatibility features, providing value through proper fitment and complete assembly packaging.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

As a replacement component rather than a repairable unit, this filter follows standard automotive maintenance practices where periodic replacement maintains system performance. Its complete gasket kit helps ensure proper sealing during installation, reducing the likelihood of post-installation leaks that might require additional maintenance work.

Why Choose This Product

This filter provides precise dimensional compatibility with Astra MK VII (K) vehicles, with 106mm height and specific diameter measurements matching factory specifications. Its multiple factory part number compatibility covers various production batches and vehicle configurations within the Astra K platform, offering broader application than single-part-number alternatives.
