For a very long time I was looking for a video how to change such a filter. I did not find the video in Russian. Thanks for the detailed instructions. Suzuki Grand Vitara Diesel 2001 car.
Nice video. On doing mine, I found that the filter was a little bit too long to fit the housing. It was impossible to screw the top back onto the housing. At first I thought I had bought the wrong filter. Simply standing on the new filter reduced its length sufficiently to easily fit the housing. The corrugated cardboard used in making the filter is easily strong enough to take the weight of a man - in fact the reduction in length was very small.
I've seen a few other posts of people being a bit worried about doing this, don't be. The hardest bit is screwing the cap. I managed it by using an oil filter strap ( the chain type) enough just to loosen it then finish by hand. It's a bit tricky due to lack of space but once loose enough to twist by hand, not a problem. To drain the filter I have a white plastic drain plug at the bottom of the filter bulb with the drain tube still connected. I used a Chinese special fried rice container (keep the lid) to drain the fuel into. Before I started I placed rags onto the bottom engine tray behind the radiator put the container on top of the rag put the drain tube in container, opened the screw, drained the fuel. Because there's not a lot of room you need to put the container in at an angle. Obviously you can't take it out at an angle without spilling the fuel hence keeping the lid. Put the lid on tight, there's enough room to do that, then lift it out, no spills. With my filter there are 3 hoses plus the electric plug on top of the filter, one to the left 2 to the right. One on the right is fairly tight to the radiator hose but it's a soft enough hose to push in a bit to disconnect the fuel hose from the filter. When putting the cap back on, don't forget the new O ring. It feels awful tightening the cap back on, plastic on plastic and it doesn't twist back on freely. I lube'd the threads with a bit of washing up liquid to help it screw on. I read on one post a guy say hand tight. No way, I did and had diesel everywhere. It will need tightening, I managed with a few turns using the oil filter strap. It maybe worth marking the cap so you have a rough idea where it was originally positioned before taking the cap off. With regards to refilling the filter, the fuel pump will take care of it. I turned the ignition a couple of times before firing the engine up. Some people have said squeeze the pipe on the left to feed fuel into the filter but on my pic the pipes are solid not flexible. A few turns of the ignition is enough and the old girl fired up 1st time. So this was my experience of the job. It's simple just a bit awkward but certainly do able. Just work cleanly but not anally so, yeah you don't want to drop muck into the system but at the same time your not performing surgery. Oh I did have a slight leak which wasn't apparent at 1st, noticed after a 30 mile drive, another quarter turn did the trick also I think the O ring just needs to bed in properly. No leaks since. Some people also mentioned keeping the diesel you drained to top the filter up with. I Wouldn't personally coz I did have a lot of black bits floating about in the diesel I drained and a lot of sludge in the bottom of the filter bulb when I wiped it out. The fuel sensor on the filter will allow the fuel pump to fill the filter with enough diesel from the tank rather than putting the dirty diesel back in if it's picked up muck from the dirty old filter. 2.0 hdi, 2005, 180000 miles pic exclusive Be Advised not all pic fuel filters are the same as one shown in video and do not have the same nut type fitting on top of the filter as in this video
Make sure you fill the filter "house" completely with diesel after replacing the filter , as you probably lost some diesel in the process. I filled just what I collected from the draining pipe, and it was not enough as I lost part of it (It should be full to the top for the car to start normal)
agreed.... great video - presumably the same for all Peugeot/Citroen 2.0 HDI engines.... I have a Pug 807 2.0 HDI (136hp) so location of filter may be slightly different but general principals the same??
Check the lower rubber gasket if it's in the right location and it's not damaged, lubricate those areas which are in friction, the especially the rubber seal shown at 5:57.
It is still paper, but the size and shape of the entire unit is different, plus the viscosity of gasoline is a bit lower and the structure of the paper might be different.

Excellent vid mate, great tutorial. So clearly explained
Great video!! wonderful resolution, you show us full orientation and tips. Thank you so much!! Great job, gonna try it

Be Advised not all pic fuel filters are the same as one shown in video and do not have the same nut type fitting on top of the filter as in this video
Is that the same as 2.0l jtd 2003 model fiat scudo
Done on my Xantia, thanks a lot !
Thanks, it helps a lot. very good video
Thank you so much !!!
Another great video Thank You
Excellent
شكراً لكم
Good video, thank you.
Thank you 😊

Somewhat should be identical...
Merci Merci

Good
Great video. Would this be the same process on a Citroen dispatch 2.0 hdi 2008?
It is probably somewhat different...
U made a mistake, u must hold on contact to fill up the system, u have fuel pump in the fuel tank like petrol cars.
mines a 2012 ds4 2.0 diesel, is it the same as this ?
Hi, I've done everything right but I can't refit cover.. it fits but I'm not able to twist it to horizontal position because it's too tight
Check the lower rubber gasket if it's in the right location and it's not damaged, lubricate those areas which are in friction, the especially the rubber seal shown at 5:57.
Where the fuel filter is located and how to replace it? Xsara Picasso 1.6 hdi.
Thanks
I don't have that car, but see if this helps ► ruclips.net/video/LvPkRZCZOjQ/видео.html
I have a petrol piccaso. Is it done the same way?
Not exactly! It's a different engine...
are the filters for a diesel the same as petrol.
It is still paper, but the size and shape of the entire unit is different, plus the viscosity of gasoline is a bit lower and the structure of the paper might be different.
Thanks..
how many miles did the filter ?
I don't know, I bought the car with that filter, I'm not sure when they replaced it.
Siemens is easy change
