Cdti 75 fuel filter step by step

Eddiebassman · 23rd July 2020, 15:05

Hi all, I don’t have much experience in working on cars at all. I’m looking to do three jobs.
First change fuel filter
Fit in kind thermostat to top hose
Fit egr delete, maybe cleaning manifold while I’m there. Do bolts need to be torqued to a set measurement, or just tight?

Could anybody help with an idiots guide for these?
I’m a little concerned about breaking things when I remove them (for example removing fuel pipes, I assume they don’t just slide off)

Don’t be afraid to state the obvious, it probably won’t be that obvious to me!

Ps I have a bulb out at the back (tourer) but whoever owned it in the past bonded the lights in, probably not much you can do here other than break them replace them?!

Thanks in advance
Eddie

welcome to the forum.
If you look at the fuel pipes you will see a "Grey" plastic fitting. Squeeze the two sides and the fuel pipes will pull out, they may drip a little.
The electrical plug may also just pull out, I don't think it is a twist fitting. You may need a small flat bladed screw driver to every so slightly lever up the plastic that clips and holds the electrical plug in place. Be careful if you use a screwdriver

The bracket that holds the fuel filter is an 8 or 10mm spanner size, undo the bolt and the filter and fitting on top will pull upwards. The fuel filter will be full of fuel. It unscrews from the fitting on top.

It is an easy job, you would have to be very unlucky to break anything when changing the filter.

good luck

look at DMGRS web site for an inline stat. I fitted one in 2018 and it works fine

Amazing, thanks macafee that’s given me more confidence to do the job. I’ve seen the DMGRS details, in fact I bought the stag from them.
