We have now had two issues involving unipart fuel filters on modern cars. A merc E320 '51 plate it restricts fuel flow (looses 20psi of pressure causing the need to crank it for ages) and does not hold pressure after switch off. Also on '53 plate polo fitted new filter and immediately through up the MIL light and ran like a dog.

Don't know if anyone else has experience this. We are a unipart car care centre and they assured us that they had solved the issue awhile back.

Remember don't overlook new components when diagnosing...
