The newly acquired fuel filter is incompatible - assistance required, please.

[AMG33D]

My husband is performing maintenance on my automobile for the first time. Having acquired the Mercedes part numbers and procured the components, he is currently engaged in the task. However, the gasoline filter is incompatible, as indicated by the photograph. The Merc component you observe is part number A6510902852, which I have learnt supersedes the earlier part number A6510901652. We were unable to locate that part number for purchasing, therefore we acquired the superseded version. The electrical connection is not identical. I contacted Newcastle Merc on eBay, providing my VIN to acquire one of their service kits, but they have not responded. Therefore, procuring the components independently.

Have I accurately acquired the exact part number, or is the superseded information misleading?


He has disengaged the clamps and can observe "MAH," concluding that it is an MAHLE unit. The service history indicates that this has not been altered since it was modified by Mercedes in 2014 at 17,000 km.

Please assist me.

All the photographs I have located of the part number you reference as the "original p/n," A6510901652, exhibit the identical pipe configuration and electrical connections as the part you have acquired (A6510902852), which is expected as the latter is a supersession of the former.

Consequently, I assert that the fuel filter for your engine is neither an A6510901652 nor an A6510902852; therefore, you will require an individual with access to the relevant systems to ascertain the correct filter part number based on your vehicle's VIN.

The aftermarket units accommodate the heater element component that can be unscrewed from the original equipment manufacturer unit. F026402103 is equivalent to Bosch Mahle. The part number of the aforementioned unit is KL490D.


The referenced part numbers are A642 092 03 01, A642 090 2052, A642 090 1752, and A642 090 1852.

Thank you; it indeed appears peculiar.

I previously enquired here and was provided with the original part number. If anyone is able to dig up the part number, my VIN is WDD2074032F073442.


It appears peculiar that I would acquire an aftermarket component rather than a genuine Mercedes product.

This presents the most recent figure for A642 092 03 01.
