	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
	Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), headquartered in Gastonia, North Carolina, is an innovative global leader in the design, manufacture, distribution and marketing of industrial grade filtration products and services and replacement products in South America. The Company’s broad range of filtration and other products are sold in North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Africa. The Company’s brands include WIX®, FiltronTM, Nakata® and ecoLAST®. Additionally, the Company provides private label products for NAPA®, CARQUEST® and ACDelco®.
	The Company is wholly-owned by Affinia Group Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), a company controlled by affiliates of The Cypress Group, L.L.C. (“Cypress”).
	Affinia Group Inc. (“Affinia”), the Company’s direct, wholly-owned subsidiary and a Delaware corporation formed on June 28, 2004, entered into a stock and asset purchase agreement on November 30, 2004, as amended (the Purchase Agreement), with Dana Corporation (“Dana”). The Purchase Agreement provided for the acquisition by Affinia of substantially all of Dana’s aftermarket business operations.
	As discussed further in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operation – Chassis”, in the fourth quarter of 2013, management committed to a plan to sell the Chassis group. Accordingly, the results of the Chassis group have been included as a component of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The sale of the Chassis group was completed on May 1, 2014.
	The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION	'
	2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information and notes required by GAAP in the U.S. for annual financial statements. Because the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes do not include all information and notes required by GAAP in the U.S. for annual financial statements, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other information included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the financial position and results of operations. Amounts reported in the interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the respective annual periods.
	In preparing financial statements that conform to GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]	'
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	'
	3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this new ASU will have on its revenue recognition upon adoption.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The FASB issued the ASU to provide more decision-useful information and to make it more difficult for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. In addition, the ASU requires entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods in the statement of financial position, as well as significant changes to the presentation requirements within the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU could have a significant impact on the financial statement presentation associated with any disposal transactions that could occur once this ASU becomes effective.
	Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, “Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes.” ASU 2013-10 allows the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be designated as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company does not anticipate the requirements of ASU 2013-10 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements because the Company currently has not entered into any new or redesignated hedging relationships that meet these requirements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of this standard has not had any impact on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) — Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU No. 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-5 is effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have any current impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
SEGMENT INFORMATION	'
	4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
	The Company has two operating segments, Filtration and Affinia South America (“ASA”), which are considered reportable segments under ASC 280 “Segment Reporting.” Operating segments are determined based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of our businesses. Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on revenue growth and operating profit. Although not considered an operating segment, corporate, eliminations and other includes corporate costs, interest expense and other amounts not allocated to the operating segments, as well as results of discontinued operations.
	The Filtration segment is Affinia’s largest business unit, having contributed approximately 70% of global revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Our Filtration products fit medium and heavy duty trucks, light vehicles, equipment in the off-highway market (i.e., residential and non-residential construction, mining, forestry and agricultural) and equipment for industrial and marine applications. The Filtration segment’s products include oil, air, fuel, cabin air, coolant, hydraulic and other filters for many types of vehicles and machinery. The products are sold under well-known brands, such as WIX® and Filtron, and private label brands including NAPA®, and CARQUEST®.
	The ASA segment focuses on distributing and manufacturing brake, suspension, driveshaft and U-joint components, water and fuel pumps, filters, engine products, motorcycle products, accessories and other critical aftermarket components through its operations in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela. The majority of the ASA segment’s revenue is generated in Brazil. In Brazil, ASA’s operations are conducted through Affinia Automotiva, an aftermarket parts manufacturer and master distributor, and Pellegrino, a warehouse distributor. Affinia Automotiva manufactures Nakata® brand shock absorbers and distributes those and third party products to warehouse distributors, including Pellegrino. Pellegrino sells approximately 65% of its products to retailers and jobber stores, with the balance sold to parties such as auto centers, diesel injection centers, motorcycle retailers, heavy-duty fleets and engine rebuilders.
	The following table presents financial information for each of our reportable segments, as well as for corporate, eliminations and other, and on a consolidated basis:

	5. DISCONTINUED OPERATION—CHASSIS
	In the fourth quarter of 2013, management committed to a plan to sell the Chassis group. Pursuant to ASC Topic 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements,” the Chassis group met the definition of a disposal group at the time management committed to a plan to sell the group and, accordingly, the results of operations of the Chassis group have been classified as a component of discontinued operations. On January 21, 2014, Affinia entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, with Federal-Mogul Chassis LLC (formerly known as VCS Quest Acquisition LLC) (“FM Chassis”), an affiliate of Federal-Mogul Corporation, pursuant to which FM Chassis agreed to purchase the Chassis group. This transaction closed on May 1, 2014. The consolidated statements of cash flows were not adjusted to reflect this group as a discontinued operation for any period presented.
	Upon the closing of this transaction, Affinia received cash proceeds of $140 million, which represented the agreed upon selling price of $150 million less a holdback of consideration of $10 million until completion of certain post-closing performance obligations. The Company released an $18 million capital loss valuation allowance as a result of the sale, the tax benefit of which offset the tax expense incurred by the gain on the sale. This resulted in a tax expense of less than $1 million on the sale transaction.
	The sale of the Chassis group resulted in a pre-tax gain of $21 million, excluding the $10 million holdback, which is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within Income from discontinued operations, net of tax.
	In addition to the gain on the sale discussed above, the following table shows the Chassis group’s net sales, income before tax provision, income tax provision and net income that are included within Income from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

	Affinia and FM Chassis entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) effective with the sale on May 1, 2014. The TSA provides for certain administrative and other services and support to be provided by Affinia to FM Chassis and to be provided by FM Chassis to Affinia. Most of the transition services will expire during 2014 or 2015. The TSA was established as an arm’s length transaction and is intended for the contracting parties to recover costs of the services provided.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
DERIVATIVES	'
	6. DERIVATIVES
	The Company’s financial derivative assets and liabilities consist of standard currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
		•		Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
		•		Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
		•		Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
	All derivative instruments are recognized on our balance sheet at fair value. The fair value measurements of our currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps are based upon Level 2 inputs consisting of observable market data, as reported by a recognized independent third-party financial information provider. Based upon the Company’s periodic assessment of its own creditworthiness, and of the creditworthiness of the counterparties to its derivative instruments, fair value measurements are not adjusted for nonperformance risk.
	Currency Forward Contract Derivatives
	Our currency forward contracts are valued using then-current spot and forward market data as provided by external financial institutions. We enter into short-term currency forward contracts with banking institutions of only the highest tiered credit ratings and thus the counterparty credit risk associated with these contracts is not considered significant.
	Our currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges of specific monetary asset balances subject to currency risks, therefore, any changes in the fair value of these currency forward contracts are recognized in earnings each accounting period. The Company’s outstanding currency forward contracts are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either “Other current assets” or “Other accrued expenses,” depending on whether the contracts are in asset or liability positions at the end of each reporting period. The aggregate notional amounts of outstanding currency forward contracts were $92 million and $86 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair market value of these contracts was a liability of $1 million and less than $1 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	Currency forward contract gains and losses are recognized in “Other income and expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the reporting period of occurrence. The short-term currency exchange rate forward contracts are intended to offset the currency exchange gain (loss) related to the re-measurement process. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded losses of $2 million and $1 million, respectively, associated with currency forward contracts. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded losses of less than $1 million associated with currency forward contracts.
	Interest Rate Derivatives
	On April 25, 2013, we entered into interest rate swaps having an aggregate notional value of $300 million to effectively fix the rate of interest on a portion of our Term Loan B-2 until April 25, 2020. The Company funds its business operations with a combination of fixed and floating-rate debt. Therefore, our reported results from operations may be adversely impacted by rising interest rates. The Company’s interest rate risk policy seeks to minimize the long-term cost of debt, subject to a limitation of the maximum percentage of net floating-rate debt versus total debt outstanding.
	While our policy does not require that we maintain a specific ratio of net floating-rate debt as a proportion of total debt outstanding, we use interest rate swaps to manage the ratio of net floating-rate debt to total debt outstanding within our policy target range, thereby reducing the potential impact that interest rate variability may have on our consolidated financial results. Our policy strictly prohibits the use of interest rate derivatives to generate trading profits or to otherwise speculate on interest rate movements.
	We have designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges as described in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. At the inception of the hedge, the Company formally documents its hedge relationships and risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedge. In addition, the documentation identifies the interest rate swaps as a hedge of specific interest payments on variable rate debt, with the objective to perfectly offset the variability of interest expense as related to specific floating-rate debt. We also specify that the effectiveness of the interest rate swaps in mitigating interest expense variability shall be assessed using the “Hypothetical Derivative Method” as described in ASC 815.
	The interest rate swaps are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Other current assets” or “Other accrued expenses,” depending on whether the contracts are in asset or liability positions at the end of each reporting period. In compliance with ASC 815, the Company formally assesses the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps at inception and at least every three months thereafter. These assessments have established that swaps have been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting the interest expense variability of the underlying floating rate debt and are therefore eligible for cash flow hedge accounting treatment.
	Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), to the extent such cash flow hedges are effective. Amounts are reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings when the underlying hedged items are recognized, during the period that a hedge transaction is terminated, or whenever a portion of the hedge transaction results are deemed ineffective. We reclassified less than $1 million and $1 million from other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. There were no amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense during the three or six months ended June 30, 2013. There have been no gains or losses reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness related to any of the Company’s interest rate swap transactions, nor were there gains or losses reclassified to income due to early termination of designated cash-flow hedge transactions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the notional amount and fair value of outstanding interest rate swaps outstanding are and were as follows:
	(Dollars in millions)		Notional Amount		Fair Value
	As of June 30, 2014		$	300	$	4

	Our debt consists of notes that are publicly traded, an asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Revolver”), term loan facilities consisting of Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2 and other short-term borrowings. The fair value framework requires the categorization of our debt into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to determine fair value.

	-1	The fair value assigned to the Company’s long-term debt reflects financial model estimates generated from a third-party provider based on observable inputs related to market prices of comparable debt instruments and represents a Level 2 approximation within the fair value categorization framework.
	-2	The carrying value of fixed rate short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s current floating rate debt instruments approximates fair value because of the variable interest rates pertaining to those instruments. The fair value of debt is categorized within Level 2 of the hierarchy.
	A financial covenant exists under the ABL Revolver that would be triggered if excess availability under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of 10% of the total borrowing base and $10 million. If the covenant trigger were to occur, we would be required to satisfy and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00x, measured for the last twelve-month period. As of June 30, 2014, none of the covenant triggers had occurred. The impact of falling below the fixed charge coverage ratio would not be a default but would trigger the imposition of restrictions on our ability to pursue certain operational or financial transactions (e.g. asset dispositions, dividends and acquisitions).
	As discussed further in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operations – Chassis”, on May 1, 2014, Affinia closed the sale of the Chassis group. In conjunction with the closing of the sale, cash proceeds of $140 million were received. In May 2014, the Company paid down $22 million of Term Loan B-1 and $53 million of Term Loan B-2. Additionally, in May 2014, the Company made a $45 million distribution to Holdings. Holdings used all of the distribution to partially repay its outstanding third party debt.
	On April 25, 2013, we refinanced our existing notes and credit facilities and made a distribution to Holdings, our sole shareholder. The refinancing consisted of the issuance of $250 million aggregate principal amount 7.75% Senior Notes due May 1, 2021, a $200 million term loan due April 25, 2016, a $470 million term loan due April 25, 2020, the proceeds of which we used, together with $31 million of cash on hand, to redeem our 10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2016, redeem our 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, pay fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing transaction and make a $350 million distribution to Holdings. Holdings used the distribution to redeem its Preferred Shares, repay $61 million of the note issued by Holdings to Dana as part of the financing in connection with our acquisition of substantially all of the aftermarket business operations of Dana in 2004 and make a distribution of $133 million to its stockholders
	The sources and uses of proceeds of the 2013 refinancing consisted of the following:

	-3	The deferred financing costs paid on the date of the refinancing were $13 million and $2 million was subsequently paid in the remainder of the second quarter of 2013.
	As the refinancing was treated as an extinguishment of debt under ASC 470, “Debt”, we recorded a $15 million loss in connection with the refinancing arrangement. Additionally, we recorded a write-off of $5 million for unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the redemption of our Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes, as well as a write-off of $3 million for the replacement of our Old ABL Revolver with a new ABL Revolver. These charges were recorded within Interest Expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	In conjunction with the refinancing, we recorded $15 million in total deferred financing costs, of which $14 million related to the issuance of our Senior Notes and Term Loans and $1 million was associated with the ABL Revolver.
	During the second quarter of 2013, we made a distribution of $351 million to Holdings of which $350 million related to the refinancing, as previously described, and $1 million related to the payment of Holdings’ operating expenses.

	The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate was $8 million as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and recognizes penalties as part of the income tax provision. As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s accrual for interest and penalties was $2 million. We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. For jurisdictions in which we transact significant business, tax years ended December 31, 2004 and later remain subject to examination by tax authorities. We do not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months.
	The effective tax rate was 46% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 which was an increase over the three months ended June 30, 2013, attributable to an increase in income earned in jurisdictions with higher income tax rates. The effective tax rate was 57% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 55% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was attributable to an increase in income earned in jurisdictions with higher income tax rates. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a currency devaluation of $7 million for the Venezuelan operations. This was a non-deductible item for income tax purposes.

	Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings are pending or threatened against us, arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, intellectual property, product liability and environmental matters. We believe that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations or liquidity.
	The Company has various accruals for civil liability, including product liability, and other costs. If there is a range of equally probable outcomes, we accrue at the lower end of the range. The Company had $2 million and $13 million accrued as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These amounts are reflected in “Other accrued expenses” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the amount accrued is due to a payment of $11 million made during the first quarter of 2014 in full settlement of the Neovia Logistics Services (U.K.) Limited claim. The Company had accrued $11 million during 2013 associated with this claim, with $5 million recorded as a component of discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2013. There are no recoveries expected from third parties associated with outstanding or settled claims.
	In addition, we have various other claims that are reasonably possible of occurrence for which our aggregate maximum exposure to loss is estimated at $13 million. There are currently no reserves associated with these claims.

VENEZUELAN OPERATIONS	'
	14. VENEZUELAN OPERATIONS
	In accordance with U.S. GAAP, effective January 1, 2010, the Company accounted for Venezuela as a highly inflationary economy because the three-year cumulative inflation rate for Venezuela using the blended Consumer Price Index (which is associated with the city of Caracas) and the National Consumer Price Index (developed commencing in 2008 and covering the entire country of Venezuela) exceeded 100%. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2010, our Venezuelan subsidiary used the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency. The financial statements of our subsidiary must be re-measured into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. Dollar) and gains and losses from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than exclusively in the equity section of the balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. The local currency in Venezuela is the Bolivar Fuerte (“VEF”).
	On January 11, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the country’s currency and, on February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced another devaluation of the currency to 6.30 VEF per U.S. Dollar and it eliminated the regulated parallel market rate of 5.3 VEF per U.S. Dollar. We used the official exchange rate of 6.30 VEF per U.S. Dollar to translate the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiary to comply with the regulations of Venezuela and are analyzing the impact of the volume restrictions on our business. The one-time devaluation had a $2 million negative impact on our pre-tax net income during the first quarter of 2013.
	In 2013, the Venezuelan government authorized certain companies that operate in designated industry sectors to exchange a limited volume of VEFs for U.S. Dollars at a bid rate established via weekly auctions under what is known as SICAD 1. SICAD 1 auctions began in October 2013. However, SICAD 1 auctions are not indicative of a free market exchange as only designated industries may bid into individual auctions and the highest bids are not always recognized by the Venezuelan government. In March 2014, another currency exchange mechanism (SICAD 2) became effective. SICAD 2 is intended to more closely resemble a market-driven exchange rate than the rates provided by Venezuela’s other regulated exchange mechanisms (i.e. the official rate and the SICAD 1 rate). Thus, as of March 31, 2014, entities may be able to convert VEFs at one of three legal exchange rates: official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar based on closing rate at last auction, and SICAD 2 rate of 50.86 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar based on closing rate on March 31, 2014.
	As a result of the multiple exchange rates available to settle transactions, at March 31, 2014, management reevaluated the exchange rates previously used for remeasurement, which had been the official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. While substantially all of our import transactions for purchases of inventory have been preapproved by the Venezuelan government at the official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, the Venezuelan government has not settled these transactions with vendors since November 2013. This, along with the introduction of the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 market mechanisms, raise considerable doubts about our ability to ultimately settle transactions at the official rate in the future. Additionally, legislation enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2014 indicates that foreign investments are subject to the SICAD 1 rate rather than the official rate. While not the determinative factor, management views the passing of this legislation as a critical component in its assessment of the most representative rate to use for remeasurement purposes at March 31, 2014. Given the uncertainty of the exchange markets and the ultimate rate at which transactions may settle in the future, as well as consideration of the aforementioned legislation that was enacted earlier in 2014, we recorded a one-time devaluation of $7 million in the first quarter of 2014, which represents a move from the official rate to the SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. Of the $7 million devaluation charge, $5 million was recorded in the Filtration segment and $2 million was recorded in the ASA segment. This devaluation is reflected in “Other income and expenses, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	In the second quarter of 2014, our Venezuelan subsidiaries represented approximately 6% of Affinia’s consolidated net sales and the Venezuelan subsidiaries have total assets and liabilities of less than 5% of Affinia’s total consolidated assets and liabilities at June 30, 2014.
	Management will continue to monitor the environment in Venezuela to determine whether further devaluation charges are required. At this time, management does not believe that the foreign exchange limitations or restrictions will have a material impact on our liquidity, cash flows or debt covenants.

NEW_ACCOUNTING_PRONOUNCEMENTS_

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]	'
Revenue From Contracts with Customers	'
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this new ASU will have on its revenue recognition upon adoption.
Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components	'
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The FASB issued the ASU to provide more decision-useful information and to make it more difficult for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. In addition, the ASU requires entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods in the statement of financial position, as well as significant changes to the presentation requirements within the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU could have a significant impact on the financial statement presentation associated with any disposal transactions that could occur once this ASU becomes effective.
Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes	'
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, “Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes.” ASU 2013-10 allows the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be designated as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company does not anticipate the requirements of ASU 2013-10 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements because the Company currently has not entered into any new or redesignated hedging relationships that meet these requirements.
Unrecognized Tax Benefit	'
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of this standard has not had any impact on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Foreign Currency Matters	'
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) — Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU No. 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-5 is effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have any current impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

	-1	The fair value assigned to the Company’s long-term debt reflects financial model estimates generated from a third-party provider based on observable inputs related to market prices of comparable debt instruments and represents a Level 2 approximation within the fair value categorization framework.
	-2	The carrying value of fixed rate short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s current floating rate debt instruments approximates fair value because of the variable interest rates pertaining to those instruments. The fair value of debt is categorized within Level 2 of the hierarchy.
