UFI FILTERS: Original Equipment on the new VW Touareg

The co-operation between UFI FILTERS and major European vehicle manufacturer Volkswagen is well-established. The German brand, which is renowned for its technology and the reliability of its vehicles, has once again chosen UFI for its completely renewed, second generation Touareg SUV, launched in 2010. UFI supplies as original equipment (OE), the complete diesel fuel filter unit on both the 3.0 V6 TDI DPF 240 HP and 4.2 V8 TDI DPF 340 HP engines. The attention given to the power and performance of these engines is matched with the fuel consumption and emissions requirements and the use of UFI’s filter systems ensures that these units are able to work with the utmost efficiency. The complete diesel fuel filter unit (original Volkswagen code 7P6127401), which meets the Euro 5 standard, is made up of a long life, ecological, pleated paper immersed filter cartridge, with a layer of extremely fine synthetic fibres (meltblown) on the outside. The filter unit features the following characteristics: • Filtering efficiency to ISO TS 13353:2002, for particles from 3 to 5 µm, up to 95% • High accumulation capacity with filter replacement every 56,000 miles • Water elimination and separation capacity not below 93% • Metal housing for burst resistance above 15 bar The diesel fuel filter is fundamental to guarantee the life span of the vehicle, as it retains fuel impurities that may clog injectors and damage the injection pump. In addition, filters are fundamental for engine performance as the fuel particles may reduce the correct flow of the diesel fuel to the engine, so the regular replacement of the filter cartridge allows better vehicle performance. Many global vehicle manufacturers choose UFI FILTERS as the OE fitment because they recognise UFI’s commitment to choosing the best raw materials and the use of cutting-edge technological solutions to guarantee optimal functionality, the reduction of polluting emissions and the long life span of the vehicle. For all their filtration requirements, aftermarket professionals need look no further than UFI. The complete range is available to factors from Universal Automotive on a next-day delivery basis.
