Factory-Spec Diesel Fuel Filter Element for Vauxhall Astra MK VII K and Opel Astra K
This diesel fuel filter element is engineered as a direct replacement part for specific Vauxhall and Opel vehicles, matching original equipment specifications for fit and function. It is designed for models including the Vauxhall Astra MK VII (K) and its Estate variant from November 2015, and the Opel Astra K and Astra K Sports Tourer from mid-2015 onwards. The filter comes as a complete assembly with an integrated gasket, providing the necessary filtration for the diesel fuel system and helping to protect engine components like injectors from particulate contamination. Its dimensions and construction align with the requirements of the vehicle's filter housing.
Features and Construction
This filter is built to slot directly into the existing fuel filter housing of compatible vehicles, requiring no modification. The key specifications ensure it fits correctly and performs the required filtration task for diesel fuel.
Material and Build
The filter utilises a pleated filter media designed to capture contaminants from diesel fuel. It is assembled as a single unit with a gasket pre-installed, which is intended to create the necessary seal when the filter is fitted into its housing. The construction follows the pattern of the original factory part it replaces.
Size and Practical Fit
The filter's physical dimensions are critical for installation. It stands 106mm tall and has two specified outer diameter measurements of 88mm and 90mm, which correspond to different points on the filter body. The maximum inner depth is 24.5mm. These measurements ensure compatibility with the filter housings in the listed Vauxhall Astra and Opel Astra models, providing a direct swap for the old unit.
Uses and Placement
This part serves a specific function within the vehicle's fuel delivery system. It is intended for use as a maintenance item, replacing the existing filter at recommended service intervals.
Event or Professional Use
For professional mechanics or service centres, this filter provides a correct specification part for servicing the listed Vauxhall and Opel diesel vehicles. Its compatibility with multiple OEM part numbers (23304095, 23304096, 22937279, 23456595, 23459023, PU9012Z, TP1015) simplifies parts lookup and inventory for workshops dealing with these common models.
Everyday Home Use
For the vehicle owner undertaking their own maintenance, this filter offers a straightforward replacement component. As it is designed as a direct fit, it allows for a like-for-like swap during a DIY fuel filter change on a compatible Vauxhall Astra MK VII (K) or Opel Astra K, following the vehicle's service procedures.
Benefits and Buying Value
The value of this product lies in its specification-matched design for a defined set of vehicles, offering a practical solution for routine maintenance.
Reuse and Low Maintenance
As a consumable filter element, its primary benefit is restoring the fuel system's filtration capability once the old filter is spent. The integrated gasket means all necessary sealing components are included in one unit, reducing the risk of leaks from a missing or incorrectly fitted separate seal.
Why Choose This Product
This filter is chosen because its dimensions and listed compatible part numbers correspond directly to the requirements of the Vauxhall Astra MK VII (K) and Opel Astra K models from 2015. It provides a factory-specification part that fits the existing housing, which is the fundamental requirement for a successful fuel filter replacement on these vehicles.
