Vauxhall Opel Astra K Diesel Fuel Filter Element and Gasket Kit for 2015 Models

This diesel fuel filter element with integrated gasket kit serves as a precise factory replacement component for the Vauxhall Astra MK VII (K) and Opel Astra K vehicle range, including both hatchback and estate (Sports Tourer) variants from 2015 onwards. Designed to maintain the fuel system's integrity, it provides the correct filtration specification required by the engine's manufacturer. The kit matches multiple original equipment part numbers—23304095, 23304096, 22937279, 23456595, 23459023, PU9012Z, and TP1015—ensuring compatibility with the engine assembly without modification. It is supplied as a complete unit containing the filter element and necessary sealing gasket for a straightforward installation process during routine vehicle maintenance.

Features and Construction

This replacement fuel filter is engineered to meet the specific requirements of diesel-powered Vauxhall and Opel Astra K models. Its construction and dimensions are tailored to fit within the existing fuel filter housing in the engine bay, providing a direct swap for the worn component.

Material and Build

The filter element contains media designed to capture contaminants present in diesel fuel, helping to protect the vehicle's fuel injectors and pump. The included gasket is made from materials compatible with diesel fuel, creating a reliable seal between the filter housing and the element to prevent leaks and maintain system pressure once installed according to the vehicle's service guidelines.

Size and Practical Fit

The component's physical specifications ensure a correct fit: it stands 106mm tall with two distinct outer diameter measurements of 88mm and 90mm, and has a maximum inner depth of 24.5mm. These dimensions correspond to the original part's design, allowing it to seat properly within the filter assembly. Users should verify their vehicle's exact model, production date, and engine code against the listed compatible applications—Vauxhall Astra MK VII (K) and Estate from November 2015, and Opel Astra K and Sports Tourer from June and November 2015 respectively—before purchase.

Uses and Placement

This product is intended for use during scheduled vehicle maintenance or when the existing fuel filter requires replacement. It fits within the broader context of engine care, specifically targeting the fuel delivery system.

Event or Professional Use

For professional mechanics or technicians servicing Vauxhall and Opel vehicles, this kit offers a time-efficient solution as it matches the factory part numbers, eliminating compatibility checks for the listed models. It is suitable for use in workshop environments for standard service intervals, fleet maintenance, or repair jobs where the original fuel filter needs replacing.

Everyday Home Use

For vehicle owners who perform their own maintenance, this filter kit provides a clearly identified replacement part. The listed part numbers and vehicle applications allow for straightforward identification, and the single-unit packaging contains all necessary components for the filter replacement task, assuming the user has the appropriate tools and follows the vehicle's service manual.

Benefits and Buying Value

Choosing this specific fuel filter kit addresses the practical need for a compatible, factory-specified replacement part for the targeted vehicle models.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

As a consumable service item, the filter is replaced rather than reused. Its value lies in restoring the fuel system's filtration performance to its intended level. The kit's design aims to simplify the maintenance process by providing a direct-fit component that requires no adaptation, potentially reducing installation time and the risk of incorrect fitment.

Why Choose This Product

This product is distinguished by its precise alignment with seven original equipment manufacturer part numbers and the listed Vauxhall and Opel Astra K applications from 2015. The key advantage is the elimination of guesswork regarding compatibility for these specific models. Its defined dimensions and inclusion as a complete kit (filter and gasket) provide a practical, single-purchase solution for this maintenance task, supported by the concrete data of part numbers and vehicle fitments.
