How to Replace the Fuel Filter in a Citroen DS3?

Model: Citroen Ds3 MK 1 - Years 2010-2019
Part: Diesel fuel filter

In this video tutorial, see how to replace the fuel filter in a Citroen DS3. This is a simple operation, but it requires caution as these are delicate components. First, remove the engine cover and disconnect the rear connector using a screwdriver. Remove the three hoses by pressing the respective clips with the screwdriver. Next, unscrew the two rear bolts of 8mm and extract the support. The filter is held in place by 3 Torx screws; unscrew them and rotate the central connector counterclockwise, which will unlock the lower drainage hole. Install the new filter onto the support and reinsert it into the engine bay, connecting the 3 hoses, the connector, and screwing in the two bolts. Remember to clean up any fuel residue thoroughly.
