Description of Business	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. (“Affinia” or 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 ® ® ® ® ® MANN+HUMMEL Merger The Company is wholly-owned by Affinia Group Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), a company controlled by affiliates of The Cypress Group, L.L.C. (“Cypress”). On August 13, 2015, Holdings, a Delaware corporation, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MANN+HUMMEL Holding GmbH, a German limited liability company (“MANN+HUMMEL”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the aggregate merger consideration payable to Affinia Canada ULC and Affinia Southern Holdings LLC (collectively, “Sellers”), is $513.1 million (i) minus adjustments reflecting transaction expenses, a $10 million escrow to cover limited indemnities and an amount reserved for the payment of expenses incurred by the sellers’ representative and (ii) plus adjustments reflecting adjusted net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s Brazilian operations previously announced and the sale of the Company’s Argentinian and Uruguayan operations (collectively, the “ASA Transactions”) and a daily interest factor applied to the purchase price. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Holdings will be converted into the right to receive a proportionate share of the aggregate consideration, plus a contingent right to receive a portion of the escrow amount and the amount reserved for expenses of the sellers’ representative, in each case at the time and upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors of Holdings as well as all required governing bodies of MANN+HUMMEL (including its Supervisory Board) and the Board of Directors and stockholder of merger sub. Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others, adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Holdings common stock, holders of no more than five percent of the common stock of Holdings exercising dissenters’ rights, receipt of any required regulatory approvals and expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the absence of any order, judgment, injunction, decree, stipulation or determination prohibiting the Merger, and completion of the Affinia South America (“ASA”) Transactions. It is currently anticipated that this transaction will close by the first quarter of 2016 or earlier depending on timing of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties customary for transactions of this type. Holdings has agreed to various covenants and agreements, including, among others, agreements to (i) conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the closing thereunder and (ii) not engage in certain kinds of transactions during this period, including transactions involving leakage to the Sellers. The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination provisions for Holdings and MANN+HUMMEL, including, among others, termination rights for Holdings and MANN+HUMMEL in the event the Merger has not closed within eight months after the date of the Merger Agreement, extended up to sixty days if necessary for Holdings to complete the ASA Transactions (the “Outside Date”) or in the event there is a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the other party which cannot be cured by the Outside Date. Affinia South America (“ASA”) Disposal In the second quarter of 2015, management committed to a plan to sell Pellegrino Distribuidora de Autopecas Ltda. (“Pellegrino”) and Affinia Automotiva Ltda. (“Automotiva”), collectively referred to as “ASA Brazil.”. The Company completed the sale of Pellegrino in September 2015 and the sale of Automotiva in October 2015. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2015 the Company executed definitive purchase and sale agreements for the remaining ASA operations in Argentina and Uruguay and completed the disposition of these businesses through sale in September 2015. Accordingly, the results of operations of the former ASA segment have been included as a component of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. With the completion of these transactions in 2015, all of the businesses that comprised the ASA segment have been disposed of through sale. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operations”, for additional information. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. In these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the term the “Company,” refers to Affinia Group Intermediate Holdings Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
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, 2014. 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 (Loss) 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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	4. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has one operating segment, Filtration, which is considered a reportable segment under ASC 280 “ Segment Reporting Filtration’s 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. Filtration’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 ® ® ® Prior to the third quarter of 2015, the Company presented ASA as a separate reportable segment. As discussed further in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operations”, in the second quarter of 2015, management committed to a plan to sell ASA Brazil. At that time, ASA Brazil met the criteria of assets held for sale under ASC Topic 205, “ Presentation of Financial Statements The following table presents financial information for our Filtration segment, as well as for corporate, eliminations and other, and on a consolidated basis: Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 (Dollars in millions) Filtration Corporate, Eliminations Consolidated Filtration Corporate, Eliminations & Other Consolidated Net Sales $ 238 $ — $ 238 $ 248 $ — $ 248 Operating Profit 41 (15 ) 26 46 (13 ) 33 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 (Dollars in millions) Filtration Corporate, Eliminations & Other Consolidated Filtration Corporate, Eliminations & Other (a) Consolidated Net Sales $ 682 $ — $ 682 $ 732 $ 9 $ 741 Operating Profit 103 (37 ) 66 125 (39 ) 86 (a) The nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes $9 million of net sales and operating profit of $3 million associated with ASA’s Venezuelan operations, which were shut down in June 2014. As these operations did not meet the criteria as held-for-sale, they are reported as a component of continuing operations. However, due to the insignificance of the amounts associated with Venezuela, management has presented them within corporate, eliminations and other since the remainder of the ASA segment is included in discontinued operations.

Discontinued Operations And Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS As described further below, in the second quarter of 2015, management committed to a plan to sell ASA Brazil. In accordance with ASC 205, this portion of the ASA segment met the definition of a disposal group at the time management committed to a plan to sell and, accordingly, the results of operations have been classified as a component of discontinued operations for all periods presented. While the Company was actively marketing the remaining ASA operations in Argentina and Uruguay at the same time as ASA’s Brazilian operations, these businesses did not meet the held-for-sale criteria under ASC 205 during the second quarter of 2015. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company closed on the sale of Pellegrino, as well as reached definitive agreement and closed on the disposition of ASA’s remaining operations in Argentina and Uruguay. In October 2015, the sale of Automotiva was completed. Since ASA was one of the Company’s reportable segments, management has determined that, despite the sale of disposal groups to multiple acquirers the ultimate sale of all of the businesses that comprised the ASA segment represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the ASA segment accounted for 31% of consolidated net sales. Accordingly, the results of operations of the former ASA segment have been classified as a component of discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were not adjusted to reflect this operation as a discontinued operation for any period presented. On June 12, 2015, the Sellers, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company, entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) to sell their equity interests in each of Pellegrino and Automotiva. The purchasers under the Pellegrino Purchase Agreement are Distribuidora Automotiva S.A. and Car Central De Autopecas e Rolamentos Ltda. (the “Pellegrino Purchasers”) and the purchasers under the Automotiva Purchase Agreement are Auto Norte Distribuidora de Pecas Ltda., Cobra Rolamentos e Autopecas Ltda., Distribuidora Automotiva S.A., Jorge C. Schertel, Pedro Molina Quaresma and Sedim-Administracao e Participacoes Ltda. (the “Automotiva Purchasers”). The purchase price to Sellers for the sale of each of Pellegrino and Automotiva was paid in Brazilian Reals. The Pellegrino purchase price was 215,000,000 Brazilian Reals and the purchase price for the sale of Automotiva was 146,285,000 Brazilian Reals (in each case, the “Base Purchase Price”), and, in each case, plus or minus an adjustment reflecting (i) an estimate of interim profits or losses, as applicable, of the Sellers related to the Pellegrino or Automotiva business, respectively, each calculated in accordance with a process established in the respective Purchase Agreement, and (ii) minus a percentage of certain claims that may arise after signing and before closing. After closing, the parties determined a final purchase price reflecting the actual interim profits and losses and such claims, as well as other adjustments, calculated in accordance with a process established in the respective Purchase Agreement. As discussed above, the sale of Pellegrino was completed in September 2015. Based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of closing, the Company received proceeds of $58 million associated with the sale of Pellegrino and recognized a pre-tax loss of $25 million on sale. This loss was predominately driven by the release of currency translation adjustments that had been previously deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. A portion of the proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down the Company’s outstanding debt. The tax implications for the sale of Pellegrino were insignificant. Additionally, as discussed above, the sale of the operations in Argentina and Uruguay was completed in September 2015. At closing, the Company received proceeds of $5 million and recognized a pre-tax loss of $20 million on sale. For tax purposes, the sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of $9 million; however, the capital loss is offset by a valuation allowance and resulted in no tax benefit being recorded. The president of the Company’s ASA segment is party to the Pellegrino transaction. In connection with and simultaneous with the closing of the Pellegrino transaction on September 30, 2015, this individual purchased four properties owned by Pellegrino with a net book value of less than $1 million. In order to fund the purchase of the properties, at closing, the Company redeemed all outstanding equity owned by the individual and received net cash proceeds of less than $1 million for the purchase of the real estate. This amount is included in the purchase price consideration discussed above. Additionally, the same individual is also part of the buying group that acquired Automotiva which is further discussed below. On October 30, 2015, the Company completed the previously announced sale of Automotiva. Upon closing, the Company received a purchase price of 148,982,541 in Brazilian Reals, or US $38,596,513 based on the Real/Dollar exchange rate as of October 30, 2015, reflecting a base purchase price of 146,285,000 Brazilian Reals (or $37,897,668 based on the Real/Dollar exchange rate as of October 30, 2015), as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Agreement to reflect the actual interim profits and losses of the Automotiva business. At closing, the Company received $19,657,726 after deduction of certain expenses and taxes and the placement of 71,000,000 Brazilian Reals in an escrow account with a Brazilian bank. Such escrow covers any amounts that may be owed by Automotiva relating to a Brazilian antitrust investigation commenced on September 25, 2015, and is the sole source of funds that the Buyers may recover from the Sellers as to any amounts that may be owed by Automotiva relating to such investigation. In connection with this investigation, the Company recorded a reserve in the third quarter of 2015 that represents management’s best estimate of the most likely outcome of this matter. This expense is included as a component of (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table shows the net sales, cost of sales, gross profit, selling general and administrative expenses, operating profit, income before tax provision, income tax provision and net income that are included within (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations associated with the ASA segment: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (Dollars in millions) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Net sales $ 85 $ 116 $ 265 $ 319 Cost of sales $ (69 ) $ (93 ) $ (214 ) $ (255 ) Gross profit 16 23 51 64 Selling, general and administrative expenses $ (16 ) $ (14 ) $ (38 ) $ (40 ) Operating profit $ — $ 9 $ 13 $ 24 Income from continuing operations before, income tax provision, and noncontrolling interest — 9 14 24 Income tax provision — (2 ) (5 ) (7 ) Net income $ — $ 7 $ 9 $ 17 The following tables shows Automotiva’s asset and liabilities that are included in assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: September 30, December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2015 2014 Cash and cash equivalents $ 1 $ 19 Trade accounts receivable 11 56 Inventories, net 22 70 Other current assets 5 24 Property, plant, and equipment, net 4 14 Other assets 10 16 Current assets of discontinued operations $ 53 $ 199 Accounts payable 13 39 Other accrued expenses 10 19 Current liabilities of discontinued operations $ 23 $ 58 The following table shows the depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures that are included within the consolidated statement of cash flow associated with the ASA segment. Nine Months Ended September 30, (Dollars in millions) 2015 2014 Depreciation and amortization $ 2 $ 2 Capital expenditures $ 1 $ 1 In the fourth quarter of 2013, management committed to a plan to sell the Chassis group. Pursuant to ASC 205, 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 in May 2014, 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. In September 2014, the post-closing performance obligations were completed and the Company received $9 million of cash proceeds with the remaining $1 million allocated to a post-closing purchase price adjustment. 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 $32 million, of which $21 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2014 and $11 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2014. These amounts are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax. 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 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 associated with the Chassis disposal group: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (Dollars in millions) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Net sales $ — $ — $ — $ 64 Income from continuing operations before, income tax provision, and noncontrolling interest — — — 5 Income tax provision — — — 2 Net income $ — $ — $ — $ 3 In addition to the amounts reflected in the tables above associated with the results of operations of ASA and the Chassis Group, (Loss) income from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the periods presented includes the following: · For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, a pre-tax loss of $45 million associated with the sale of the ASA businesses discussed above · For the three months ended September 30, 2015, a tax benefit of $8 million related to the ASA sale, which represents the reversal of a capital gains tax recorded in the second quarter of 2015 · For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, a pre-tax gain on the sale of the Chassis group of $11 million and $32 million, respectively, as discussed above · For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, a loss of $5 million and $7 million, respectively, associated with other activity related to the Chassis sale

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging	6. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps to manage foreign exchange and interest rate risks, respectively. The primary use of the foreign currency forward contracts is to hedge the risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with borrowings. The Company executes derivative contracts for risk management purposes and does not engage in any speculative or trading activity. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as assets or liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is determined using observable market data provided by recognized independent third-party financial information providers and is based upon Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy within ASC 820 “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that qualify for and for which the Company has elected hedge accounting in accordance with ASC 815 “ Derivatives and Hedging Currency Forward Contract Derivatives The Company operates globally and is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of business. The Company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to certain non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and intercompany balances. To minimize the risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company has established a program that utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risk associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Gains or losses on the Company’s foreign currency exposure are intended to be mitigated by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts. These foreign currency forward contracts generally have terms of six months or less and are entered into at the prevailing market exchange rate at the end of each month. Prior to the third quarter of 2014, the Company did not formally designate foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts were recognized in current period earnings. Beginning in the third quarter of 2014, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts for anticipated future transactions and these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. In accordance with ASC 815, the effective portion of these cash flow hedges are included as a component of AOCI until the underlying transaction impacts earnings. At the time the underlying transaction impacts earnings, the Company will de-designate the hedging instrument and reflect the change in fair value in current earnings to offset the remeasurement impact of the gross receivable or payable balance until the underlying transaction is settled. The Company’s currency forward contracts are valued using then-current spot and forward market data as provided by external financial institutions. The Company enters into 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. Interest Rate Risk Management The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of the issuance of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. Interest rate risk is managed by limiting variable-rate exposure and monitoring changes in interest rates. To manage risks associated with changes in interest rates, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to effectively fix the interest rate on variable-rate debt.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	7. DEBT Affinia’s 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 the Company’s debt into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to determine fair value. The fair value of debt and the categorization of the hierarchy level of fair value, net of discount, are and were as follows: Fair Value of Debt at September 30, 2015 (Dollars in millions) Book Value of Debt Fair Value Factor Fair Value of Debt Senior notes, due May 2021 (1) $ 250 104.88 % $ 262 Term Loan B-1, due April 2016 (1) 175 99.75 % 175 Term Loan B-2, due April 2020 (1) 366 99.25 % 364 ABL Revolver, due April 2018 (2) — 100.00 % — Other debt (2) 29 100.00 % 29 Total fair value of debt at September 30, 2015 $ 830 Fair Value of Debt at December 31, 2014 Book Value Fair Value Fair Value (Dollars in millions) of Debt Factor of Debt Senior notes, due May 2021 (1) $ 250 102.50 % $ 256 Term Loan B-1, due April 2016 (1) 175 97.88 % 171 Term Loan B-2, due April 2020 (1) 367 97.00 % 356 ABL revolver, due April 2018 (2) — 100.00 % — Other debt (2) 19 100.00 % 19 Total fair value of debt at December 31, 2014 $ 802 (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, the Company 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 September 30, 2015, 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 the Company’s ability to pursue certain operational or financial transactions (e.g. asset dispositions, dividends and acquisitions).

The Company’s review was supervised by the Audit Committee of Affinia’s Board of Directors and conducted with the assistance of outside professionals. Affinia voluntarily self-reported on these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and cooperated fully with the U.S. government. The U.S. Department of Justice has advised that it has decided to decline to prosecute the Company in this matter.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	10. INCOME TAXES The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate was $1 million as of both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and recognizes penalties as part of the income tax provision. As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s accrual for interest and penalties was less than $1 million. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. For jurisdictions in which Affinia transacts significant business, tax years ended December 31, 2004 and later remain subject to examination by tax authorities. The Company does 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 50% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 44% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. . The primary reason for the increase over 2014 is due to higher deemed dividends from foreign subsidiaries, resulting in higher U.S. permanent differences over last year. The effective tax rate was 62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is attributable to a currency devaluation of $5 million associated with the Filtration operations of Venezuela that is a non-deductible item for income tax purposes in the first quarter of 2014.

Legal Proceedings	11. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings are pending or threatened against Affinia and its subsidiaries, arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, intellectual property, product liability and environmental matters. Affinia believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material effect on its financial condition, 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, Affinia accrues at the lower end of the range. The Company had $2 million accrued as of both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. These amounts are reflected in Other accrued expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the continuing operations of Affinia have various other claims that are reasonably possible of occurrence for which the aggregate maximum exposure to loss is estimated at less than $1 million. There are currently no reserves associated with these claims. The Company owns property in Litchfield, Illinois on which various historic environmental contaminants have been discovered. These contaminants are self-contained on the property and, with the exception of a small area with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) impact, are not required by law to be remediated. The Company entered the site into the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s (“IEPA”) Voluntary Site Remediation Program and has received IEPA approval of a previously filed Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”) for one portion of the site that is associated with the voluntary clean-up actions. The remediation for that portion of the site commenced in June 2015 and was completed in September of 2015. A RAP for the other portion of the site, including where PCBs are located, is being prepared and will be submitted to IEPA, the Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is currently anticipated that such RAP will be submitted in the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company’s objective is to obtain a combination of comprehensive and focused No Further Remediation (NFR) letters for the Site. The current cost estimate to complete all of the voluntary work included in the approved RAP and expected to be included in the second RAP, including costs already incurred, is approximately $4 million. Since soil sampling and testing is not yet complete and a full site remediation study has not been issued on the area associated with the legally required PCB clean-up, the Company cannot currently reasonably estimate the cost of the PCB clean-up. It is not expected that the cost associated with this clean-up will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. There are currently no reserves associated with these cost estimates.

Venezuelan Operations

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Venezuelan Operations	14. VENEZUELAN OPERATIONS In accordance with U.S. GAAP, effective January 1, 2010, the Company began accounting 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, the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiary used the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency. The financial statements of the Venezuelan subsidiary is 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”). 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 was 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 were 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 the then most recent 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 the Company’s import transactions for purchases of inventory had been pre-approved by the Venezuelan government at the official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, the Venezuelan government had not settled these transactions with vendors since November 2013. This, along with the introduction of the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 market mechanisms, raised considerable doubts about the ability to ultimately settle transactions at the official rate in the future. Additionally, legislation enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2014 indicated that foreign investments are subject to the SICAD 1 rate rather than the official rate. While not the determinative factor, management viewed 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, the Company recorded a one-time devaluation of $7 million in the first quarter of 2014, which represented 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. For the Filtration segment and the ASA segment, respectively, this devaluation is reflected in Other income and expenses, net and (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an immaterial devaluation to reflect the movement in the SICAD1 rate from 10.7 VEF to 12.0 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. During the first quarter of 2015, management continued to apply the rate of 12.0 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. However, in February 2015, the Marginal Currency System (“Simadi”) mechanism was introduced and implemented as part of law, resulting in the elimination of the SICAD 2 rate. The Simadi rate is a free market exchange where the rate is derived from daily private bidders and buyers exchanging offers through authorized agents and approved and published by the Venezuelan Central Bank. To date, the Company has had very limited participation in the Simadi markets as a result of successful participation in multiple SICAD1 auctions. At September 30, 2015, the Simadi rate was approximately 197 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an immaterial devaluation to reflect the movement in the SICAD 1 rate from 12.0 VEF to 12.8 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar as a result of management’s successful participation in a SICAD 1 auction at a rate of 12.8 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, which was a 6.7% depreciation over the last auction held in the fourth quarter of 2014. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded another immaterial devaluation to reflect the movement of the SICAD 1 rate from 12.8 VEF to 13.5 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar as a result of the most recent SICAD 1 auction clearing rate. Management will continue to monitor the exchange rate mechanism in Venezuela, as well as the Company’s ability to continue to successfully access U.S. Dollar at a SICAD 1 rate to determine whether a different exchange rate should be used in future periods, which would result in further devaluation charges being recorded. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries represented approximately 13% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. The Venezuelan subsidiaries have total assets and liabilities of less than 10% of the Company’s total consolidated assets and liabilities at September 30, 2015.
