Chris, are you referring to your 2001 75 KV6? The fuel filter is not metal and both part numbers you mention are incorrect for your car (note that the 75 isn't included in your application list).

What problem are you experiencing? The early filter unit is trouble-free. The later two part design can loosen leading to a reduction in fuel pressure. The solution to that is simply to tighten it and fit the security clip. You shouldn't need to replace either of them. In my experience petrol filters are a precautionary measure. As the 75/ZT fuel tank is plastic, it's extremely unlikely that they'll catch anything. The filter element may discolour but note that MGR doesn't specify renewal at any time as part of the service schedule. Manufacturers don't usually miss an opportunity to sell parts so I think that speaks for itself!
