Description
Product Overview
The iFJF LR009705 Fuel Filter is a precision-engineered replacement for Land Rover LR3 and LR4 models equipped with the 2.7L TDV6 diesel engine. This high-efficiency filter removes water and microscopic contaminants from diesel fuel before it reaches your high-pressure common rail injection system — protecting injectors from catastrophic damage that can cost thousands to repair. Manufactured to IATF 16949 standards for reliable OEM-equivalent performance.
Key Features
-
OEM-Spec Filtration Efficiency: High-performance media captures particles as small as 3-5 microns — essential for protecting sensitive common rail injectors operating at 1,600+ bar.
-
Integrated Water Separation: Specialized media removes emulsified water from diesel fuel, preventing injector corrosion and microbial growth in the fuel system.
-
Direct Fit — No Modifications: Precision-engineered to match the factory LR3/LR4 filter housing exactly — no adapters, no modifications, no leaks.
-
Replaces WJI500020 & LR009705: Cross-references to OEM Land Rover part numbers for guaranteed compatibility and performance.
-
2007-2009 Model Coverage: Fits Discovery 3 (LR3) and Discovery 4 (LR4) with the 2.7L TDV6 diesel engine.

Why Quality Filtration Matters for TDV6 Engines
The 2.7L TDV6 common rail diesel uses piezo-electric injectors operating at extremely high pressures (up to 1,600 bar). Any contamination — even microscopic particles or water droplets — can cause injector tip erosion, internal corrosion, and eventual failure. A single injector replacement can cost $800+. The LR009705 filter is your most important line of defense against fuel system damage.
