                      9% Senior Subordinated Note due 2014

1. Interest

         Affinia Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its
successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein
called the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Security at the rate per annum shown above; provided, however, that if a
Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs,
additional interest will accrue on this Security at a rate of 0.25% per annum
(increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum after each consecutive 90-day
period that occurs after the date on which such Registration default occurs up
to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00%) from and including the date on
which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on
which all Registration Defaults have been cured. The Company will pay interest
semiannually on May 30 and November 30 of each year, commencing May 30, 2005.
Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 30, 2004.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

2. Method of Payment

         The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close
of business on the May 15 or November 15 next preceding the interest payment
date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the
interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money
of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a
Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the
Depository. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated
Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the
registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a
certificated Security may be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account
maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects
payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying
Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately
preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee
may accept in its discretion).

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

         Initially, Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware banking corporation
(the "Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint
and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The
Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may
act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.



4. Indenture

         The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of
November 30, 2004 ("Indenture"), among the Company, Parent, the Subsidiary
Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in
the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. ss.ss. 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date
of the Indenture (the "Act"). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined
herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are
subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and
the Act for a statement of those terms.

         The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The
Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.03 of the
Indenture, to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.13 of the
Indenture. The Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional
Securities and all Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities issued in
exchange therefor will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the
Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the
ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness;
pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make
investments; engage in transactions with affiliates; transfer or sell assets;
guarantee indebtedness; restrict dividends or other payments of subsidiaries;
and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and
the assets of its subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important
exceptions and qualifications.

5. Optional Redemption

         Except as set forth below, the Company shall not be entitled to redeem
the Securities.

         On and after November 30, 2009, the Company shall be entitled at its
option to redeem all or a portion of the Securities upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of
principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued interest to the
redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if
redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on November 30th of the years set
forth below:

                                                             Redemption
         Period                                                Price
         ------                                              ----------
         2009                                                 104.500%
         2010                                                 103.000%
         2011                                                 101.500%
         2012 and thereafter                                  100.000%

         In addition, prior to November 30, 2007, the Company shall be entitled
at its option on one or more occasions to redeem Securities (which includes
Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate



principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) originally issued at a
redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 109%, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds
from one or more Equity Offerings (provided that, if the Equity Offering is an
offering by Parent, a portion of the net cash proceeds thereof equal to the
amount required to redeem any such Securities is contributed to the equity
capital of the Company or used to acquire Capital Stock of the Company (other
than Disqualified Stock) from the Company); provided, however, that (1) at least
65% of such aggregate principal amount of Securities (which includes Additional
Securities, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each
such redemption (other than Securities held, directly or indirectly, by the
Company or its Affiliates); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days
after the date of the related Equity Offering.

         Prior to November 30, 2009, the Company shall be entitled at its option
to redeem all or any portion of the Securities at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus the Applicable Premium as
of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date (subject to the
right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date).

6. Notice of Redemption

         Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than
60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed
at his registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000
principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000.
If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all
Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is
deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain
other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue
on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

7. Put Provisions

         Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Securities will have the right
to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Securities of such
Holder at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the
Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
repurchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date) as provided
in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

8. Guaranty

         The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and
interest on, the Securities is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint
and several senior subordinated basis by each of Parent and the Subsidiary
Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.



9. Subordination

         The Securities are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company,
Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Indenture. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Senior
Indebtedness must be paid before the Securities may be paid. The Company agrees,
and each Securityholder by accepting a Security, agrees to the subordination
provisions contained in the Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it
effect and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

10. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

         The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $1,000 principal amount and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer
or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or
transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by
the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any
Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be
redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any
Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be
redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

11. Persons Deemed Owners

         The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of
it for all purposes.

12. Unclaimed Money

         If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for
two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company
at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After
any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company
and not to the Trustee for payment.

13. Discharge and Defeasance

         Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be
entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities and
the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government
Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to
redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

14. Amendment, Waiver

         Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (1) the
Indenture and the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Securities
and (2) any default or



noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Securities. Subject
to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any
Securityholder, the Company, Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee
shall be entitled to amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency, (ii) to comply with
Article 5 of the Indenture, (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in
addition to or in place of certificated Securities, (iv) to add guarantees with
respect to the Securities, including Subsidiary Guaranties, (v) to secure the
Securities, (vi) to add additional covenants or surrender rights and powers
conferred on the Company, Parent or the Subsidiary Guarantors, (vii) to comply
with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture
under the Act, (viii) to make any change that does not adversely affect the
rights of any Securityholder, or (ix) to make amendments to provisions of the
Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer and legending of the
Securities.

15. Defaults and Remedies

         Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default for 30 days
in payment of interest on the Securities; (b) default in payment of principal on
the Securities at maturity, upon redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the
Securities, upon acceleration or otherwise, or failure by the Company to redeem
or purchase Securities when required; (c) failure by the Company, Parent or any
Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the
Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain
accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final
maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Company if the amount accelerated (or so
unpaid) exceeds $17.5 million; (e) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
with respect to the Company, Parent and any Significant Subsidiaries; (f)
certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $17.5 million
and (g) certain defaults with respect to the Parent Guaranty or any Subsidiary
Guaranty. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities may declare all
the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy
or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities being
due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

         Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except
as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or
the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The
Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing Default
(except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that
withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.



16. Trustee Dealings with the Company

         Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under
the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed
to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company
or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

17. No Recourse Against Others

         A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, as such, of
the Company, Parent, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor
under the Securities, the Indenture, any Parent Guaranty or Subsidiary Guaranty
or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or
their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases
all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the
issue of the Securities.

18. Authentication

         This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Security.

19. Abbreviations

         Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or
an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as
tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors
Act).

20. CUSIP Numbers

         Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers
to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP and
ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on
the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

21. Holders' Compliance with Registration Rights Agreement

         Each Holder of a Security, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and
agrees to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, including the
obligations of the Holders with respect to a registration and the
indemnification of the Company to the extent provided therein.



22. Governing Law

         THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
