MANN-FILTER WK 6008 In-Line Fuel Filter for Passenger Cars
Product description
If you need a replacement fuel filter for a particular car, exact fitment matters more than a long list of general claims. The MANN-FILTER WK 6008 is an in-line filter intended for passenger cars, but the product details here do not list specific makes, models or engines.
Its stated role is to remove unwanted dirt particles from fuel, helping protect vehicle components during the maintenance interval. The listing describes it as a replacement part and gives its dimensions and weight, which may help when comparing it with the filter being replaced.
A solid pick if the WK 6008 is confirmed for your vehicle and you want a like-for-like in-line replacement. It might not be a great match if you have not established compatibility: check by make, model and engine, or use the HSN/TSN numbers from the vehicle documents. That fitment check is the key decision point here.

The manufacturer says the filter medium is tailored to its intended use and that the filter is designed to separate dirt particles from fuel. It also states that the product meets EU REACH requirements. These details describe the filter’s intended function, rather than confirming that it suits every passenger car. Within these limits, the listed measurements and in-line format give useful points to compare against the required replacement.
How to use it
This is a component for a vehicle’s fuel system, not a general-purpose filter. Before ordering or fitting it, identify the car’s make, model and engine, then use those details or the HSN/TSN numbers to check that WK 6008 is the required part. A matching diameter alone is not enough to establish compatibility.
For a routine service, the practical use is as a replacement for the specified fuel filter, where removing dirt from the fuel is part of the maintenance job. The listing does not provide fitting instructions, so follow the vehicle’s service information or have the work carried out by someone qualified to work on fuel systems. Choosing a filter by exact vehicle application is a safer approach than picking a generic replacement from dimensions alone.
Practical tips
The product information does not say what is included in the box, so do not assume that fittings or other installation parts come with the filter. Compare the stated H and C dimensions with the part specified for your car, but treat the vehicle fitment check as decisive. If you are comparing replacement filters, prioritise a confirmed application for your engine over matching only the in-line format or external measurements.
Should you buy it?
The WK 6008 is worth considering when your vehicle’s parts information identifies this exact filter. Its intended use, in-line format and listed dimensions make it straightforward to assess as a replacement, while the stated 10-year EU spare part availability duration may also matter when planning future maintenance. The information supplied does not establish compatibility with any particular car, however, so there is no basis to recommend it for a vehicle until that fitment is confirmed. If it is specified for yours, it offers a focused replacement choice, if not, select a filter matched to the vehicle rather than relying on general passenger-car suitability.
