We replace the fuel filter every 30,000 km
If the car is operated in dusty conditions or with low fuel quality, the filter must be replaced more often.
The fuel in the engine power system is under pressure.
Therefore, before servicing the power system, it is necessary to relieve the fuel pressure.
With the ignition off, use a screwdriver to pry off the cover of the floor tunnel lining.
Remove the cover
Remove the fuel pump fuse from the control system fuse block.
Start the engine and let it idle until it stops due to fuel exhaustion.
Then turn on the starter for 3-4 seconds. After this, the pressure in the fuel system will be released.
The fuel filter is attached to the fuel tank on the right.
We carry out the work of replacing the filter on an inspection ditch or overpass.
Squeezing the two clamps of the fuel pipe tip, remove the tip from the filter fitting.
In the same way, remove the tip of the fuel pipe from the other filter fitting.
Use a 10mm socket to loosen the clamp bolt
And take out the fuel filter
Install the filter in reverse order.
The arrow on the filter housing should be directed in the direction of fuel flow - towards the front of the car
Place the tips of the fuel pipes onto the filter fittings until the clamps snap into place.
Having installed the fuel pump fuse, turn on the ignition and check the tightness of the connections.
