This video tutorial shows how to replace the diesel filter on a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2L 150 hp, model produced from 2007 to 2012. The filter is located at the back left once the bonnet is opened. First, disconnect the four connectors using the appropriate pliers.

Next, using a 12 mm socket, unscrew the two screws holding the filter in place and lift it out. Then, unscrew the sensor under the filter to remove it completely. After this, use a filter wrench to remove the old filter from the base and install a new filter.
