Replacing the fuel filter on this model is similar to many other models from the Turin manufacturer; it involves the classic sealed filter with two inlet and outlet pipes and a sensor that checks for any water presence in the diesel located at the bottom of the filter itself.

Start by disconnecting the battery, then locate the filter housing near the passenger side strut tower.

Disconnect the pipes by pressing the respective clips, unscrew the support bracket screw of the filter and remove it from its housing, disconnecting the sensor plug. Empty the old filter of any residual diesel, unscrew the sensor and attach it to the new filter, proceeding in reverse for reassembly.

Reconnect the battery and turn the ignition on several times before starting the engine to fill the filter.
