3D0955485A Volkswagen strainer

This little part basically acts like a filter, but specifically for your fuel. It catches dirt, rust, and any other little bits that might be in the fuel tank before they get to the fuel pump and injectors. It’s a fine mesh screen, so it catches the small stuff. It sits inline between the fuel tank and the fuel pump, usually pretty close to the tank. The fuel gets pulled through it, and anything bigger than those tiny little openings gets left behind. Think of it as the first line of defense protecting the more expensive parts of your fuel system. It’s vital because those little bits can really do a number on the fuel pump and injectors. They cause wear and tear, reducing performance and eventually leading to failures. A clogged fuel strainer can starve the engine for fuel, causing it to run poorly, hesitate, or even stall. You’ll notice if it's getting bad—performance will drop, and you might have trouble starting. They’re cheap to replace, and honestly, much cheaper than replacing a fuel pump or injectors. You can often find them pretty easily; Fixparts Online has a good selection, and it's something a lot of people do as part of routine maintenance. Environmentally conscious choice: Fuel Strainer (MPN 3D0955485A) comes with a 12-month warranty!
