Anyone know where to source one of those nice, big & chunky boot floor fuel filters for the Rx2?

Bump....anyone....?

Thanks, Jamie. These look like (mostly) the small standard ones, though (i.e. the one in the engine bay). That's the problem I encounter when I search for these over here, too. I'm sure some of these would do the job, but the original filter is BIG, about 4" long and 3" thick and it hangs in special clamps under a little panel in the boot floor. It does look very similar those little yellow plastic filters, only three times the size.

The fuel pump is quite LOUD as well, so I suspect there might be a blockage somewhere. Of course I could change the whole system for something more modern, but there's something about that familiar Mazda whirr in the rear wing when you switch the ignition on.  ;)

Ah sorry bud, I thought they would have stocked the original big filter.

Worth a try

Here it is, not quite how I remembered it. Moving fuel system discussion to my project thread in Old School Mazda's.

That's the same filter thats fitted to my series 3 FB. Not sure it's correct for your car though?

I think you're right, Casey. Filters were the same for 616 and Rx2 and these filters were straight cylinders with input and output either end. Don't think they are available anymore, so just have to find a good, reliable solution with replacement filter and pump. Yes, maybe FB is the way to go.  :)

You can still get them, either MANN branded, or several "Blueprint versions:

MANN p/n is WK42/14 - can be got for £2.85!

This is the type you need.

In our General and Technical  section there are lots of workshop and parts manuals.

I checked the pump and filter type for you in the RX-2 parts section as you always get better pictures than the workdhop manuals.

This may help in the future.

Yep, Clive is correct, the filter is not the same as in the FB, looking at those manuals.

Brilliant! Thanks again!  :)
