How to change the fuel filter on the Ford Focus MK2

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Fuel filter

In this video, we can see how to change the fuel filter on a Ford Focus MK2: the filter is located in front of the fuel tank, underneath the vehicle. We start by opening the fuse box and removing the fuel pump relay, being very careful not to break it. We start the car and let it shut off, which will happen after about a minute; we put the relay back in place and from underneath, we remove the plastic clips and remove the supply tube, being careful because fuel will come out, so it is good to have a basin to collect it. We remove the bolt from the filter bracket and remove it from its housing. We place the new filter in the bracket and reassemble the bracket and filter in the housing from which we removed it (make sure the direction is correct) then we put the tubing back in place and reattach the clips.
