Part: Diesel fuel filter

Do you want to replace the diesel filter on a Ford Focus? Follow these steps to remove the filter effectively. First, lift the bonnet and secure it. Once you locate the fuel filter, disconnect it from the hoses and connectors. Use a spanner to undo the securing bolts of the upper cover of the filter, and remove the central bolt on the filter (if present). Pull out the worn filter and refit the cap with the new filter attached. Reinstall the filter holder in the engine bay with all its components (hoses and power cables).
