Video tutorial

We can see in this video how to change the fuel filter on a Mazda 3 MK2 version: first of all, we need to identify the position of the filter, which can be accessed through the rear right wheel arch. We find it in a rather convenient position, once this component is removed.

We can find the new piece, for example, on eBay with the code 256427186684, at a price of 22.41 euros, with free delivery. Replacing it is very simple: just loosen the clamp and also the fuel supply hoses.

Once the piece is replaced, we will tighten the support strap well and make sure the hoses are properly attached. We put the wheel arch back in place and our job is done.
