Genuine fuel filter Honda Civic VII 1.4/1.6/1.7/2.0/Type R/Hybrid – 16010-S5A-932

Genuine Honda fuel filter Honda Civic VII – 16010-S5A-932

Genuine Honda fuel filter with part number 16010-S5A-932, used in Honda Civic VII models with 1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 2.0 petrol engines and Civic Hybrid LDA1. The filter is mounted inside the fuel tank as part of the fuel pump module and is responsible for precise filtration of petrol before it reaches the rail and injectors.

Correct fuel filtration is crucial for maintaining stable fuel pressure, proper fuel pump operation and injector service life – especially in higher output versions such as 2.0 and 2.0 Type R. Using a genuine Honda fuel filter ensures parameters fully compliant with the factory fuel system specification of the Civic VII.

Applications

• Honda Civic 3D 2001–2005 – 1.4, 1.6, 2.0 Type R (petrol)
• Honda Civic 4D 2001–2005 – 1.4, 1.6 (petrol)
• Honda Civic 5D 2001–2005 – 1.4, 1.6, 2.0 (petrol)
• Honda Civic Coupe 2001–2005 – 1.7 (petrol)
• Honda Civic Hybrid 2003–2005 – LDA1 (petrol hybrid)

Note: this filter does not fit the 1.7 CTDi diesel versions. Always confirm fitment by VIN in the Honda parts catalogue, especially for imported cars.

OEM reference numbers

The following OEM numbers are given for reference and identification:

• 16010-S5A-932 – current fuel filter number for Honda Civic VII
• 16010-S5A-931 – earlier number superseded by 16010-S5A-932
• 16010-S5A-930 – earlier number superseded by 16010-S5A-932

If the Honda catalogue for your VIN shows any of these numbers: 16010-S5A-932, 16010-S5A-931 or 16010-S5A-930, this filter is the correct OEM replacement.

When to replace – typical symptoms

• loss of performance, the car feels “flat” when accelerating, especially under load,
• engine hesitation or misfire at higher rpm (e.g. in 2.0 / Type R under hard acceleration),
• difficult cold or hot starting,
• louder, whining fuel pump noise from the tank,
• noticeable drop in engine responsiveness and increased fuel consumption,
• high mileage without filter replacement (for example over 80–120,000 km or many years of use).

A clogged fuel filter increases the load on the pump, can cause a drop in rail pressure and accelerates injector wear. Regular replacement on the Civic VII is a simple way to extend the life of the fuel system and maintain factory performance, including on 2.0 and Type R versions.

Installation and service tips

• the filter is part of the in-tank pump module – access is usually via a service cover under the rear seat or in the boot area (depending on body style),
• before starting work, relieve pressure in the fuel system and disconnect the battery,
• thoroughly clean the area around the pump locking ring before removal so dirt cannot fall into the tank,
• it is recommended to replace the pump module seal (O-ring) and check the condition of fuel lines,
• take care not to damage the fuel level sensor, which is mounted as a separate component next to the module – do not bend its arm or damage the wiring,
• after reassembly, check that the locking ring is correctly seated and inspect all connections for leaks with the engine running,
• after filter replacement you should notice easier starting, smoother acceleration and quieter pump operation.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about Honda Civic VII fuel filter 16010-S5A-932

Does this filter fit the 2.0 and 2.0 Type R versions?
Yes, fuel filter 16010-S5A-932 is also used on 2.0 and 2.0 Type R versions of the Civic VII. However, it is always best to confirm by VIN in the Honda catalogue.

Can 16010-S5A-932 be used instead of 16010-S5A-931 / 16010-S5A-930?
Yes. Part number 16010-S5A-932 supersedes 16010-S5A-931 and 16010-S5A-930 and can be used as the current OEM replacement.

Do I need to remove the fuel tank to change the filter?
On typical Civic VII models this is not necessary – access to the pump module with the filter is via a service cover. The final procedure depends on body style and the mechanic’s assessment.

How often should the fuel filter be replaced on a Civic VII?
Under normal use, replacement is recommended every 80–120,000 km or earlier if there are symptoms of restriction (power loss, hesitation, loud pump noise). On high-mileage or hard-driven cars (e.g. 2.0 / Type R) shorter intervals may be a good idea.
