Where is the fuel filter located in the Ford Focus?

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

In this video, you can see where the fuel filter is located in the Ford Focus and how to proceed if you need to replace it, a very simple operation. As shown, the filter is positioned inside the engine bay, specifically in the rear left area of the engine. To access it and subsequently replace it, first ensure the engine is cool enough, then remove the plastic cover and, using a 10 mm socket, detach the filter's protective bracket. Next, unscrew the fastening bolts with an E11 socket, disconnect both the pipes and the connector, and extract the filter from its housing. To fit the replacement, simply follow the reverse procedure.
