#1: 2.0 Hdi fuel filter Author: adam_16v, Location: KentPosted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:18 pm ---- Seems im full of questions this week after being off ill.
Going to service the hdi this weekend and I keep reading varying advise on changing the diesel filter.
Can somone point me to a guide for the 2.0 hdi? Or offer any advise.
Where is it exactly?
Thanks

just be careful when slackening off the housing's lid, they can crack and break if brute force is used

#6: Re: 2.0 Hdi fuel filter Author: Kersh, Location: Bridgnorth, Nr WolverhamptonPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 2:33 am ---- you have to prime the fuel system when its all re-assembled
#7: Re: 2.0 Hdi fuel filter Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 2:35 am ---- how do you get them two main pipes off the housing to get at it ?
just pull them off or turn them or ...??
is there any other parts you need to renew aswell as the filter
#8: Re: 2.0 Hdi fuel filter Author: Kersh, Location: Bridgnorth, Nr WolverhamptonPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 2:37 am ---- iirc correctly there's a sort of release button on the pipe that has to be squeezed. been ages since i had mine though. watch out for a bit of fuel p**sing out those pipes
just the filter needs renewing, its a simple enough procedure
#9: Re: 2.0 Hdi fuel filter Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 2:41 am ---- ok thanks , may sound stupid but how do you stop fuel from p**sing outta pipes or dont matter that much,
Do you need some sorta pliers or things to block pipes for a min or just let a bit run out ?

i think i just let it run out but try to keep them pointing upwards or something so that it doesnt go p**sing all over the place, its not a constant stream just build up in the pipes, run it off into a jam jar if you want.
if you want to block the pipes stick some kitchen roll in there, i recommend this so that no dust or anything gets into the pipe as well..

dont re-use it again after though
oh and put a little bit of diesel in with the filter, thats what haynes said to do anyway, not sure why but cant do any harm
#13: Re: 2.0 Hdi fuel filter Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:01 am ---- no i wont re use it lol
do you have to put bit of diesel in with filter ?
then heard you need to start it about 6 times for it to be alrit is this rite
#14: Re: 2.0 Hdi fuel filter Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:07 am ---- One more question soz for the million questions,
but how often does this need doing aswell
#15: Re: 2.0 Hdi fuel filter Author: Kersh, Location: Bridgnorth, Nr WolverhamptonPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:12 am ---- there's a bleed screw/valve on the housing, you unscrew that slightly. then get someone to turn the ignition on but dont start the car, you will hear the fuel pump whiring, while it does this watch the valve you will see bubbles of diesel where the air is being pushed out, do this a few times (5 or so) and then do the bleed screw back up
all air is now gone from the fuel pipes.
and i did it every service just becuase they are cheap as chips, diesel is horrible dirty stuff and my car had done over 120k
but i cant remember the recommended interval

#17: Re: 2.0 Hdi fuel filter Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:04 am ---- To change the fuel filter
Remove the drain screw so that all the diesel from the filter is emptied [fit a new drain screw for the filter renewal]
Unclip the two pipes on the top, making sure you plug them with something like tissue to stop dirt entering the system
Unscrew the top of the fuel filter and remove the filter
Refitting is the reversal of removal
The fuel system does need to be bled when the fuel filter is changed.
You need to open the bleed screw a little
Turn the ignition on for about 5 seconds, then turn it off [repeat this process 3 or 4 times until diesel starts running out of the bleed screw]
Tighten up the bleed screw
Fuel system should now be primed
EDIT: Make sure you know which filter you have. It's is Bosch or Mahle. THEY AREN'T INTERCHANGEABLE
