A simple and quick maintenance task that can save you some money. First, after lifting the bonnet, disconnect the connector from the fuel filter housing.

By unscrewing the cap, you can access, taking care with the fuel present in the housing, the fuel filter that you can detach from the cap. Using a tray, you can set it aside without making too much mess. Now, remount the new filter in the same position as the old one and close the cap, ensuring the gasket is in the correct position.

Clean the threaded area and reconnect the connector. Job done!
