Fuel Filter Removal On Awd 98


Recommended Posts

I have just down mine about a month ago.

You have to work from inside the boot, unscrew the spare tyre cover (4 bolts). Size 10 or 12.

Then take off the round cover that sits just above the fuel filter. Everything gets done from there.

You will need a cloth or a rag , you would be surprised by the amount of petrol coming out.

Release the valve (unscrew), it is like a tap.

Loosen up the bracket that the fuel filter and remove the pipe at both end.

Fitting is reverse.

Easy job, but scary when the petrol drips.

Obviously, no lighter, no light, no fire, nothing electric and no matches around.

That is if you want to live...

Thanks a million! I would never have looked there in a million years! That was SO much easier.

Nobody had that one documented. Not Chiltons, Haynes, owner's manual, bay13.

I actually got the bolt out and the end hose but the other hose was impossible to get (going through the bottom of the car.) I probably would've gotten it, in another 78 hours of struggling with it.

So much easier from the two access holes!

Thanks again!

This message is for numo_rules. I just read your message regarding the changing of the fuel filter on the 98 AWD. I can't thank you enough for the time you saved me changing the filter.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
