If you fit non OEM fuel filters they should be changed more often as the modern common rail injectors are much more sensitive than the fuel injectors and injection pumps in a Post office van. Mann, Hengst, Mahle and Bosch are OK if you don't push the limits, BUT make sure it says made in Germany on them, as some of the ones sold on Fleabay don't.

Sorry, incorrect. We had plenty of common rail diesels. I'm a time-served diesel mechanic. After market are fine. Just as most, if not all aftermarket products are fine, contrary to what owners are lead to believe.
