What is the Correct Way to Replace the Diesel Filter on the Kia Sportage?

Model: Kia Sportage SL, MK 3 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Diesel fuel filter

The position of the diesel filter, located in the engine compartment, is not exactly accessible; other components, electrical cables, air filter, etc., need to be removed to reach it. Specifically, it is found under the windscreen, secured with pins, so to replace it, you will need to unscrew these pins, disconnect the power connector, the fuel inlet pipe, and the outlet pipe. This filter is contained within a circular-shaped housing, and it is from this that you will need to extract it, making way for the replacement filter.
