                      AFFINIA REPORTS GROSS PROFIT INCREASE
                          FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2007

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, MAY 9, 2007 - Affinia Group Inc., a global leader in the on
and off highway replacement products and service industry, today reported
improved profit on lower sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Net sales were $502 million for the quarter compared to $548 million for the
same period in 2006. The decline was a result of Affinia's planned exit from
certain unprofitable brake and chassis product contracts and the discontinuation
in early 2006 of a customer relationship. General softness in retail and
traditional market channels also contributed to lower brake and chassis product
sales.

Gross profit increased to $94 million, approximately 19% of sales, as compared
to $92 million, or approximately 17% of sales for the same period in 2006. The
company has made steady improvement in its first three years with 15%, 17% and
19% gross margin in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 first quarters, respectively.

"A significant portion of our revenue decline in the first quarter was due to
our planned exit from business that was not profitable, and was not on our
strategic roadmap. We remain on schedule with our $152 million restructuring
plan, all of which is being financed through internal operations. Overall, we
are very pleased with our improved margin as a result of our restructuring
program," said Thomas Madden, Affinia's Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $83 million, a decrease of $1
million compared to 2006.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $3 million which includes
restructuring costs of $6 million net of tax, compared to a loss of $6 million
which includes restructuring costs of $4 million net of tax, for the same
quarter in 2006.

As of March 31, 2007 Affinia had $70 million of cash and total long-term debt
outstanding of $597 million. At March 31, 2007, Affinia had no borrowings under
the company's receivables securitization program or its revolving credit
facility, and was in compliance with all debt covenants.

"In the first quarter, we continued with our transformation program and moved
forward on a number of new global growth initiatives. We announced construction
of a new facility in Mexico to produce filters for the Latin and North American
markets; announced a joint




venture to produce brake  products in China and India;  and began  production at
our new  filter  manufacturing  plant in the  Ukraine,"  said  Terry  McCormack,
Affinia's President and Chief Executive Officer. "These initiatives were clearly
defined by our strategic  roadmap which drives  Affinia to become a high quality
global manufacturer and distributor of on and off highway  replacement  products
and services. I am pleased with the first steps we have taken on the road to our
future growth," said McCormack.
