Hi
a mate of mine wants me to service her car for her over the weekend. Just wondering what kind of a job it is to do the fuel filter?
I've looked into the parts already & it seems the whole filter housing has to be changed. Is it just a case of disconnecting the fuel pipes then removing the housing, fit the new housing then reconnect the pipes?
I'm pressuming it's a self priming system as it's not old an old car, 2007, my 51 reg vectra 2.2dti isn't self priming & was a total PITA to get it running after changing the fuel filter

HDI is self bleeding BUT it can take a long while to start after a filter change
