TD5 Service Kit Thoughts

[mike_beecham]

Hi All,
Are COOPERS Filters still considered to be a qulaity aftermarket filter for the TD5?

This seems like a good price ($75 for all filters delivered).

Genuine. Best quality and standards and the centrifuges spin. The cost of all filters except the TD5 fuel filter are not bad.

Yeah l thought so.
Thanks. I'll swing by the Dealer and pick some up.

Absolutely, I've not ever seen any evidence that has shown any aftermarket filter to even be the equal of the factory filters. I worry most about the centrifuge as there have been a couple that I have been able to hear spinning.

I've used coopers but have found mahle ones easier to fit,they are slightly smaller.
