- In this video I show how to replace the fuel filter on a ford focus 1.6 diesel.
This engine is fitted to a wide range of vehicles inc Peugeot and the Volvo v40
It is essential to bleed the fuel system after fitting a new filter, I show how to complete this process.

Great video. No waffle, no sponsorship crap, no ridiculous camera work. Just simple, clear instruction. Thank you.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 No problem. I looked on Amazon and eBay, do you know of a quality primer pump? I know a lot of these are cheap rubbish, but it's difficult to tell the difference.
I had this engine and filter in my old Mazda 3, I used to attach the primer pump to the outlet nozzle of the filter so it would suck the diesel from the tank to fill the filter and put the other end of the hose (clear) in an empty jug watching for bubbles, then reconnect. Have to say, my way is much less messy. Anyway, just a suggestion
Thanks Nigel for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
That is also what I wanted to comment, I also do it this way and this does not require any diesel as it primes directly from the tank and also ensures that there's no air in the inlet pipe. @@aaanton11 This should be pinned as top comment as it saves from having to buy or siphon diesel from the tank.
just out of interest which pipe would you leave on the back or front pipe ?
So is the only difference here that in the video, the primer pump was attached to the inlet and the other end sucking in diesel…whereas with the easier method, the primer pump should be attached to the outlet and the other end should just be pointed into a jug where the diesel would go and once it has no bubbles it’s been bled? So this means that when it’s sucking diesel from the tank by attaching to the outlet, it’s also filling up the filter at the same time? Does anything have to be connected to the inlet using this method? And can the inlet be connected up whilst the filter is being filled through the outlet or can that only be connected once the filter is full of diesel and free of air? I’m just looking to clarify things as I don’t want to get this wrong. Thanks
That was a great video. Clear, informative and you explained both what you were doing and WHY which is a really helpful thing to do. Thanks.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
That was a really great video. I've just changed the filter on my 61 reg 1.6 following this vid. Great tips and info. The biggest problem I had was getting the little white clips to release the pipes. Fiddly. Took me ages. Got her all primed and started a treat. But thank you and you've gained another subscriber 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video by someone who knows what they are doing and with no annoying music in the background...
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks, saved my life. Changed the filter and assumed there was a tank pump. Came across your video , followed the instructions and car started. Saved me a fortune
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I always have a primer pump and jam jar which I keep in the spare wheel well of my Focus diesel just in case. I once had a very, very occasional problem with air leaking into the fuel lines and draining back into the tank overnight; it happened a couple of times a year. It turned out to be the top of the fuel filter wasn't properly screwed down. The slightly negative pressure in the fuel feed was, presumably, enough for atmospheric pressure to hold it down but sometimes it was not enough when stopped.
However, I do not use a jug of diesel, I just use the pump to pull it through from the fuel tank. The jam jar takes the overflow, and I can put the lid back on to transport it without spilling.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks mate!, I have a 2011 1.6 ford focus mk2. slight diffence with the fuel filter but eaiser to do!. First time doing it and sucessful!
Well done, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video, very clear and informative. I particularly liked how you told us exactly what size of sockets/torx bits, etc. I'd need to have before starting the task.
Today I carried out an oil and filter change and fuel filter change myself after watching your vids on my mk3 focus, 1.6 tdci.
Thanks again 👏👏👏
Adam thanks for the great comments appreciate it 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video mate. It helped me. But sadly i got a bad priming pump and had to literally blow in a hose filled with diesel to make it work. The priming pump had the one way valve deffective and leaked. Made it work in the end
They can be tricky, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video! Very helpful 👍🏻
Thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for the video mate, helped me out a ton (saved from going into garage and spending more than 100 quid). Had the air in system, primed it out, let it rev and now good!!
Glad it helped, well done, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I wish I had seen your video before I attempted it without any knowledge of what I was doing, now my car won't start. Any ideas on what to do?
Prime the fuel filter
@@ciprianss664 Thanks bro.
you will need a hand primer pump to remove the air from the system, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Realy helpful, the fuel filter change went perfectly, thanks for an excellent and informative video. Thanks again Robbie
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Cheers buddy 👍🏻
Any time! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Shows how to prime a fuel filter perfectly!! Thank you!!
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I'm curious why you didn't reconnect the inlet pipe and use the primer pump to draw fuel up through the outlet spout of the filter cap from the tank. The fuel you draw through can be poured back into the tank.
my primer pump has a limited suck, when you try and draw from a empty filter the empty air volume suppresses the suction, as these are hard to draw I just find it easer doing it this way, Thanks John for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11
Noted! ....I'll comment back when I've done mine. Apparently the priming is only needed when a mechanical pump is fitted. If the car's fitted with an electrical pump, it self bleeds with a few on/offs from the ignition.
Job done one mine.
I reattached the inlet pipe and bled off through the outlet spout no bother at all. Only snag was the rubber bush for the filter base fell off and into the abyss but the 8mm bolts holds the filter assembly good and firm.
@@johnchurchill3933 do you know primer tool I would need for mine mate? Can't find one for my 2012 Cmax 1.6 tdci, unless one primer does all? Cheers
Followed this method on my car yesterday. Thanks so much for such a clear explanation.
Just did this for a Ford Focus Mk2 1.6 diesel 2009. I was a little concerned about priming it but it all went ok. I used the Draper 43986 Diesel Priming Pump from amazon. The connectors didn't fit but... I took the inlet connector off and attached it straight to the exit nozzle of the filter which was a tight fit. It didn't take many pumps of the bulb to pull the fuel through the filter directly from the tank. Connected back up and car started first time. Kept the revs high for a minute or two and all done! Hope this helps someone else.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
My check engine light is on an it says is the MAF sensor, but I've changed that and it still sends the car into limp mood. I've asked everywhere and was told it's the fuel filter. Do you have any ideas what still causes the light to come on with the code P1102. I've changed the air filter also.
I would be looking for an air leak on one of the turbo hoses or a small crack in the inlet manifold, similar to this video ruclips.net/video/GiMS0vkN-hY/видео.html Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi awesome video 👍 but unfortunately I only came across it afterwards. I didn’t prime before turning the car on. So it started up but then cut off and now won’t start 🤦♂️. Will the priming the way you did it still work or do I need to do something else to take the air out of the system. Thanks!
Prime the same as in the video, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Got everything off as far as the T15 bolts only to realise they're circles. What a stupid design, ordering some damaged torx bit sockets and hex screws to replace them
Good Luck Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you so much. This video was very helpful. A couple of additional comments. For the primer pump, a inner diameter of 8 mm is fine. Please note that most of the hoses that are delivered do not measure 8 mm, but less. And then it won't fit.
1 liter of diesel will be sufficient to carry out this job.
Please note that probably the little rubber ring that was connected to the bottom side of the old filter, could get stuck in the metal housing. Then you'll need to get it out by using some tool.
Thanks Richard for the great information 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Just draw the diesel through the filter using the pump, it's easier then having to find a litre a diesel and then pump it into the filter.
@@mattb6542 Can you just connect a vacuum pump to the filter outlet?
Got a issue with my focus. Same make and model. Idles fine but when warm and under load the car misfires and shakes. Feels like the air fuel is off. There is no fault codes and was recently serviced.
if its missing and shakes, most likely to be a injector starting to fail, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great Video, straight forward and easy for DIY. Worked perfect for my Mazda 5 1.6,(same engine)
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Superb video, I used this today to change my fuel filter. The amount of black gunk that came out was unreal. One little extra tip, the hose at the back has 2 clips, I found they needed to be removed entirely to get the hose off. I also bought a length of 8mm fuel hose and a priming pump from local car spares shop. Only 17 quid. Did the job perfectly.
Thank you so much man, this was awesome!! Great job
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Brilliant save me a few quid paying a garage and made sure I had all the kit required before I started thank you 😊
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video 👍🏻, id like to thank you personally lol , just changed the filter on my transit connect 1.6 2016 as it was lacking power on load ( up hill ect. ) followed by engine service now on dashboard. followed video step by step and job well done , fired straight up no problem, took it for a run, didnt miss a beat and responsive as before. fingers crossed its resolved, thanks again 👍🏻
Fantastic job well done, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you Aaanton Much apricated, Steve from Macnhester

Hi any help I have a 2012 ford cmax 1.6 d and my car rattles from the fule pipe every time I rev it some time it goes any idea
Is the fuel pipe clipped down ok, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Tank you for a really informative and clear video, changed my fuel filter on focus 3 yesterday and she now runs a dream.
Once again thank you
Glad it helped, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi! Anybody know what the little black part in the center does? I replaced my filter last weekend and drove 400 kilometers without any problem, but today the car didnt start and i had to prime it again. When i stopped the engine i heard some bubbling sounds in the filter. After checking the pipes and twisting that black part a few times the bubbling stopped. Great video by the way, thanks!
It is the filter drain, needs to be locked down or air will get in the system, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video, I see what you mean it's a pig to start if you don't prime enough 😅
Absolutely Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Priming the filter is half the battle .
Use a coke bottle of diesel to fill the fuel line you have disconnected for the priming also . This is vital as well as the priming
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
It is just UK mates helping everyone about their ford filter replacements. Thanks for the great work
Glad to help, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Is the Pump necessary for the 1.5 Diesel? The Filter doesnt come with an own basket...
Its always better to bleed the system before starting, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Been putting this off for a while but thanks to your video went without a problem. Thank you
Great to hear! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hí is it the same method to prime the fuel filter in mondeo 1.6 tdci or that has a self.prime method??
Yes the same, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi, thanks, great video. What model of battery wrench are you using?
The Milwaukee 12 fuel video is here ruclips.net/video/exZgvVJUD3c/видео.html Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
fantastic video! Do you know the diameter of the inlet pipe to the filter? it is to buy a pump with a tube of the right diameter.
This pump comes with adaptors amzn.to/2Y3smx0 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi Anton, I have just started watching your videos and they are very helpful and clear to watch I must say.
As you say it can be a whole load of trouble if there is air in the fuel system.
You have bleed the filter of air but if there was air else where in the system could it be bleed if the car cannot be started. If so where can air be bleed from and would this hand pump do or is there other tools required. many thanks for a reply.
Keep up the good work.
you can just connect the hand primer pump inline and pump whilst cranking over the engine, this will force the air around the system and out.Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Good video, but can you pour the diesel fuel into the new filter before you reassemble everything?
No it will leak out the drain hole, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
4:50 hi mate
My middle boy doesn’t pop up and my filter doesn’t seem to “click” into place
Give it a bash!! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Excellent vid mate, thanks very much, this being my first diesel, I was a bit wary off the fuel filter change, but not any more, cheers
Glad it helped, Thanks Tony for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Not one I have seen either, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi, I don't know if you still monitor the comments on this but I've bought the service bits to do this and I'm just looking at primer pumps now. Do you know what size pipe is required? Some people are saying 8mm and others 10mm on the primer pumps
This was 8mm Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Thank you dude!
What is the spray that you use to clean the filter housing?
Carburettor cleaner, it’s great for removing oils, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Gave car to stupid garage they got air in system now it wont start ive replaced starter motor since they burnt it out how would i get air out system now and get it going again if i pump fuel as you did and fill all would that work or whats the procedure now 😢
Yes follow the video, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Tried it but no luck turns but wont fire up @@aaanton11
Nice clear and informative video. I miss my b5 passat pump duse 130bhp engine. Self primers! Sold it, worst thing I ever did. Now I've got a fiesta 1.6 duratorq 14 plate, even the oil filter is hard to get to. Damn it.
Thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 anton! Looking on the net now for a primer. Does the hose need to be 8mm in diameter?
You can buy a primer with different adapters, there are loadstone eBay and Amazon, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi can someone help I have just changed my fuel pipe harness under the bonnet due to a broken pipe and now car will not start possibly due to all the air in system would doing this bleed the air out
Yes you will need to carry out this same sequence if you have removed the fuel pipe, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Brilliant video mate I did just that and car runs perfect now
Great information, and clearly explained how to change the Fuel Filter.
BUT, there should also be a, 'heads up ' regarding what to do if air gets trapped in the Fuel system.
The mk3 focus is well known for this issue, as I have found out!
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Whats happening with that issue? Does air gets out by self? My mechanic changed fuel filter, and since then when the car is cold, I have problem with accelerating for 1 min, it cutting speed, like fuel stops comming in for 1s then come, and over again. After 1 min when car is warm, everything is great, also in idle alwyas runs great. No errors, injectors are repaired.
@@iamone2534 there could be some air trapped in the fuel line.
Have you tried doing a reset?
Turn the key in the ignition to the second position for 30 seconds.
Then turn it to the off position for 30 seconds.
Then remove the key, and start to car, it may take a few attempts.
But this resets the system.
Hope it helps.
Many many thanks for uploading this! Following your instructions, I was able to successfully replace and prime the diesel filter on my 2012 Mondeo mk4 1.6L TDCi (BA7, engine type T1BB) with zero problems starting and driving the car afterwards.
In my particular scenario, the metal filter housing has a plastic notchy piece fitted on its bottom, and the piece from the old filter was stuck in the mounting "cup" when I took the filter out. So, for anyone with a matching filter type reading this, make sure you get the old piece out of there before attempting to insert the new filter. Also, the new filter came with an o-ring for the drain plug which I assume they intend for us to replace as well (although the old one appeared to be in perfect shape in my case). The new o-ring was a tight fit, but with a bit of fiddling I managed to slip it on by hand. Otherwise same procedure as with the Focus featured in this video.
Well done that's great you were able to change the filter, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
After filter change i get p0087 low fuel pressure
I tried another filter no change.
Changed regular didn't help
Don't know what else to do 😢
The limp mode happenes on acceleration, sometimes stals completely. I am able to start it right away but on acceleration it happens again...
You must have a air lock of air ingress into the system, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I've watched this like 20 times now, tomorrow I'm going to try this myself 😬
Wish me luck!
Cheers from Sweden 👌
Good luck!, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Hi sir, where is the fuel temperature sensor located on these?
There is a sensor on the fuel line near the high pressure pump, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Why do ford have to make that job so dam complicated , I'm sure they could of made the process a lot more simple if they really wanted to , thanks for the vid all the same , good insight to what could go wrong ,👍👍
Too true, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻🛠
Citroën use the same filter and basic setup on the C5, same dv6 engine more or less. Their filter housing has a primer button, so much easier.
@@paulburke6515 Any part number on that filter housing? Maybe we can replace it on the Fords and have a priming button also :)
It's almost as much fun as filling the gearbox with oil through a filling cap that they decided to put on the side of the gearbox.
Why do you need to turn that centre plug?
Filter drainage, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Work a treat thanks mate 🎉🎉🎉

You are right...those T15 Torx screws are mega tight...put copaslip on the threads when u put them back....Bob...Paignton....

Dont make the mistake i did and twist that little water release valve to drain the water...the engine ran for ten seconds then cut...air in the system...had a hell of a job to get it going again...2014 focus diesel....changed the filter and bled the system in the end....Bob..Paignton....
Thanks for the great information Bob 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I did this and had immediate success on my S-Max 1.6tdci, with a Bosch filter, so thank you, but...
Day four it failed to start - AA used Easy-Start and it fired up. (Far too much IMHO - engine didn't like it at all.)
Four days later failed start. Then 2 days, then twice today. (I used Easy-Start sparingly and no real engine banging - just tappety)
a) The fuel pipe out of the filter "bent" as I was moving it back/away. I straightened it, and can't feel a break - could this be the issue?
b) If so, how easy is it to renew that pipe? It's a hard rubber coated pipe.
Cheers for a wonderfully easy to follow video.
It sounds like you have an air leak on the fuel pipe, if the pipe is cracked just cut it in two, and join it with a piece of fuel hose like I did in this video,ruclips.net/video/KYjev4ea_aU/видео.html hope that helps, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for the article Aanton..interestingly the little thing that twists on top of filter housing is a water drain...u turn it clockwuse and it drains any water in the bottom of the filter out..but di it quickly though or it will drain the filter fully and it will have to be bled..however the 3 ..torx screws...size 15...my tool wouldnt shift them..chewed the stars up trying...so i drilled them and used an easy out... put new torx screws in...theyre same size but T25...the Ford ones are very soft metal....make sure no swarf in the filter head though...i reckon its an indication that Ford dont want anyone other than the main dealer to do the job...the new screws i used were from a Rover 75 fan unit...very hard better quality metal..thanks again AAnton...Bob...Paignton.....
Thanks Bob for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Spot on, great video , you nailed it . Just finished the job on a c-max 2012 no problem at all. If it helps anyone I really don't like those pump with a rubber ball things, mine needs to be thrown over a hedge .But I used the electric oil draining pump sold by amazon , lidl ali express etc. Just put the entry tube into the can of diesel the outlet fitted onto the filter inlet perfectly and pump it through... it pressured the system like a dream, And you have an oil draining pump as well!!
Great Job, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hello mate, Im in a bit of a pickle. I just bought a 2014 1.6 tdci and it seams to go in and out from limp mode. Its in limp mode for about 95% of the time after the car has warmed up. It has good power initially but then distinctly looses it. The power comes and goes with no apparent reason. When it gets power it pulls quit well. Just wondered if you would have any ideas since I'm quite worried, cheers.
You will need to get the EOBD codes for a bit of a clue, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Cheers lovely explanation and easy to follow, she fired up on the button, I had heard loads of horror stories and told not to attempt this, your walk through was perfect 😊
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I'm glad I watched your very informative video before I started on my 2013 1.6 Grand C-Max which has an identical layout to the focus (although a little harder to get at due to over hanging bodywork.) The instructions for priming were spot on. Something I may not have thought about. The pump I bought had hoses that fitted the fuel line exactly so I was able to pump fuel from the tank into the filter without using your jug method then on to force fuel around the system by reconnecting the filter outlet pipe and continued pumping till I could not hear any bubbles. Worked a treat. I'd like to post a video of my own about the problems that led to me having to change the filter. Have you any objections to me linking to your video as a good example of how to change the filter. Thanks very much.
Well done for the repair, You can link this video I don't mind, Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Fantastic took me ages to find an excellent tutorial like this. Now I can do my own and know it's done. Had it done recently by a Ford dealer and couldn't help notice how dusty the unit still was. Must have been an exceptional mechanic not to spill any diesel, so obviously, they did not have to clean housing. Or am I just distrustful and rightly so. Keep up the excellent tutorials. Ken Dublin
You're very welcome! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi mate, I have a 2011 1.6 Ford Focus Mk2.
It’s making a puffing sound when I turn the engine on and I believe it is a leaking diesel injector, I can see a small bit of smoke and something leaking beneath the engine. I can see clearly on videos of other versions of this model where the injectors are located. However I am not sure whether this video will solve my problem. Does this sound like a different issue to the one in this video? Very informative tutorial too mate, thanks! Any help is appreciated.
yours sounds like the injector washer/seal is leaking, also known as Black Death Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I changed the filter on my vw T5 and just primed it with switching ignition on & off. My mate has asked me to do his c max for him, I’m glad I watched your vid first as I didn’t realise the fords didn’t have a pump in the tank.. looks like he’s either buying the pump or getting the garage to do it 😂 great vid btw 👍🏻
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
You're not joking about the need for good quality T15 driver. Sheared the end off a 'cheap' one. Back hose was a pain to get off - the coupling mechanism was possibly damaged by a previous dealer service. Tricky to get the lower nipple and rubber bush to sit correctly in the hole on a Bosch filter when refitting the filter housing.
nice easy job then😮💨 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I had big trouble with this one. So I called my mechanic, he already told me via cellphone:,,Go buy a dash board cleaning spray". When he came on the spot, sprayed the thing into the air intake and cranked the engine. It started in 5 seconds, without using any sort of pump.😂
If you have air in the filter sometimes even the gas method you say wont work and prolonged running on the spray can bend the con rods you have to be really careful, I know I have trashed a engine on easy start 😂 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi..
Great video... my 2010 1.6 tcdi came up with engine malfunction not going over 3000 rpm, looked on internet brought reader... so far ive changed the glow plugs still did it, changed the boost solenoid... boom all ok but lol every now and then it comes up engine malfunction. I stop the car turn it off and its gone (P0299 code) on the internet people say taking it to garage and no one can find anything wrong that but some have changed the diesel fuel filter now do you think this could be the cause of it it I'm no mechanic I don't want to spend loads and loads of money at the garage on it because to me it's just a run around car to and from work to pick the kids up from school
The fuel filter is not a expensive item and it can be done as per the video, not sure if it will make a difference to your fault, but if others have had success and its not been done recently always worth a try, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Rather a crappy design for a fuel filter from Ford. I do mine by drawing the diesel out through the outlet spout which makes it easier and better bleeding. Its the filter change itself that's daft. VW have the right idea.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
You're going to get some air in the system because air gets in the pipes when you disconnect them and also some in the spouts. I've read that folk run the engine at 2000rpm to clear out any air after filter replacement. I'd replace the filter cap and then fill it with diesel through the inlet spout before I fit it back on the car.
I was going to get a Ford genuine filter but to me they look like they're made by Mann. I prefer Hengst or Blue Print to Mann.
A tip - disassemble/reassemble the filter away from the car. It'll be less messy that way and you won't accidentally drop the fasteners down in the engine.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video this! Going to be doing my 1.6 tdci soon! When you were priming the filter, where did you get the diesel from to do that? Just wondering if the diesel from the old filter is enough, I just want to cover all basis lol? Thanks
You will be pulling the fuel from the fuel tank directly from the fuel pipe at the filter, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Very good information, much better and more detailed than the Haynes manual. Fired up first time thankfully. How do you know when to stop pumping fuel in with the hand pump, it just kept going in and I don't know where it was going?
stop when the pressure grows in the hand pump, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I’ve never thought of using the pump to fill
The fuel filter. I’ve always connected the tank side pipe and sucked it through. Will
Try this next time 👍
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi there, nice video, but why are you pumping diesel in rather than pumping air out of the filter? Are you not doing it the wrong way around? If not, would you mind explaining.
Many thanks
You are just filling the housing with fuel, sometimes the vac pump struggles to draw fuel if the chamber of the housing is too large attaching from the other side, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi I followed you step by step and first of all I would like to thank you because itis really nicely explain. I got a problem because when I forced the diesel after I filled the fuel filter put the first connector, the diesel started leaking down the car... Do you know where it could come out ?
From the drain hole, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
i have a problem with my ford focus 1.6 diesel 2011, if i don't use my car for 1 day it will start but after 5 seconds it will turn off, do have an idea of what it could be ? battery or fuel pump ?
Air in the fuel line, possible filter housing seal, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Question please. I changed fuel filter didn’t really think thought it would of primed itself. Have I buggered the car by trying to start it or will priming the filter like you’ve done get it going?
you can still prime the system, it might take longer to start, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
How often do you change it?
Approximately every couple of years, 24000 miles, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
before undoing the T15 screws turn the centre plug in the middle of housing and lift it up remembering to put over container ,drain the filter then undo T15 screws
Thanks Alan for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Mate cant thank you enough for this video , just done my 2015 connect , was proper nervous as i started it up , but it did first time, garage was supposed to have changed it 3 weeks ago but when i took the other one off the crap that came out of it was ridiculous ! Would it get that dirty in such a short space of time? Wont be going back to that garage in future lol

when you said prime pump untill diesel comes out i cant see it coming out
this sounds like the problem that i have got with my car,clicking at front of car,then when after turning ignition key several times clicking noise at rear of car,also after turning the ignition key several times the miles that i have got left before going to petrol station goes down in value

Very helpful video, thanks! Replaced fuel filter for 2011 Volvo V50 D2. Great tips and info :)
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
a quick tap with a hammer will break the tightness on the t15's, also put a bit of anti seize on them before putting them back in, make it easier next time. bit of red rubber grease around the inner seal will prevent it moving & stop it drying out.
little bit of care & attention goes a long way
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
It looks like you got rid of the air in the section filter, hose to the pump and maybe output of the pump. What with the air between the tank and input of the filter? Doesn't it kill (maybe partly) the Common Rail pump when this air will go to the pump after starting the motor?
Drawing the fuel up will eliminate the air, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Dude! Your video made my day! :)
