Frequently asked questions

What does the Water-in-Fuel sensor do on a Td5 Defender?
The Water-in-Fuel sensor threads into the base of the Td5 fuel filter and sedimentor housing and detects water that has separated from the diesel. It warns the driver to drain the sedimentor before that water reaches the injection system. Fitted to the Land Rover Defender Td5 (1998-2006).
Does this sensor fit every Td5 fuel filter housing?
No. This water-in-fuel sensor is specific to one Td5 fuel filter housing variant. The alternative Td5 housing uses a different sensor, WKW500070. Check which filter housing is on your vehicle before ordering, since the two aren't interchangeable.
Will this fit a Discovery 2 Td5?
No. This sensor is for the Land Rover Defender Td5 (1998-2006), not the Discovery 2 Td5, which uses a different fuel filter arrangement. Confirm your vehicle is a Defender Td5 and check the filter housing variant before ordering.
