Comline Auto Parts has made further improvements to its diesel filter range with enhancements to two of its most popular references, EFF235 and EFF246, each designed to allow a smoother assembly of the component.
Comline is a distributor of own-brand, all-makes replacement parts and a leading filter supplier. It has just redesigned both of these popular filters which are major sellers in the Irish market. Both references now feature a chamfer, a symmetrical sloping surface at an edge or corner – between the filters’ top elements and end-caps (see Fig 1 below). This upgrade will refine the assembly between the element and filter cover.
Further improvements include an increased cover opening for the filter heads, which allows an easier assembly of filter head to filter element. The drain hole has also been relocated, and centred to enable better assembly, allowing the diesel filters to ‘sit straight’ when placed in fuel filter brackets. Not only does the movement of the drain hole allow for better assembly of the filters’ head to the cover, but it also matches the drain hole positioning of the original equipment design.
Applications for the EFF235 include: Ford C-MAX 11->, Fiesta 10->, Focus 11->, Mondeo 11->, S-MAX 11->; Mazda 3 10->; Volvo C30 10->, S40 10->, S60 11->, S80 11->, V50 10->, V60 11->, V70 11->
EFF246 applications include: Citroën Berlingo 10->, C3 05->, C4 09->, C5 09->; Peugeot 207 09->, 308 09->, 508 10->, 5008 10->, Partner 10->
