VDO A2C53101332Z Fuel Filter and Pressure Regulator Assembly

The VDO A2C53101332Z is an in-tank fuel filter and pressure regulator assembly designed as an OE-quality replacement unit. This left-side intank assembly integrates a fuel filter, pressure regulator, and fuel level sending unit into a single serviceable module, ensuring clean fuel delivery and accurate tank level readings.

As a division of Continental AG, VDO draws on over a century of automotive engineering expertise to produce components that meet or exceed original equipment standards. This assembly is built to restore proper fuel system function and fuel level accuracy when the original unit fails.

Key Features:

• Integrated in-tank assembly combining fuel filter, pressure regulator, and level sending unit
• Left-side (driver's side) fuel tank installation
• Filters fuel before transfer to the main fuel pump on the right side of the tank
• Level sending unit works in tandem with the right-side sender to deliver an accurate fuel gauge reading
• OE-quality replacement manufactured by Continental VDO
• Includes two (2) tank seals (P/N 16 11 6 765 055)
• Direct, no-modification installation — located under the rear seat for straightforward access

A common failure point on the original unit is cracking of the plastic filter top, which can result in fuel leakage. Replacing the entire assembly with the VDO A2C53101332Z restores fuel system integrity and level sensor accuracy. OEM reference number: 16147163296.
