#1: 1.4 hdi fuel filter change help needed Author: jordaaan22, Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2013 12:57 pm ---- is it possible to change just the filter or do I have to change the whole housing? I just bought a filter but cant find a way to open up the housing

Maybe upload a photo, and someone might know which type you have got.
Or look in service box.

Never changed ours in 10 years!

About changing the fuel filter,in your car case,it will be a whole full unit,you take the fuel lines off,by pressing on the lock (colored square),then take the plugs off the (Water Sensor in Gasoil Filter),and (Fuel Reheater),then have the filter out,you need to reuse the water sensor and reheater from the old filter,then fix them tight,and fix the fuel filter back on the bracket,plug the fuel line back,and then before you do anything,you need to make sure that the new fuel filter if full of Diesel,and to do so,you need to squeeze the system with the hand pump,so you prime it,and you need to keep squeezing until the prime hand pump get hard and you will be unable to squeeze it anymore,then start the car,and it will be fine Smile
