Replacing Fuel Filter on Mercedes Vito

Model: Mercedes Vito W638, MK 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Diesel fuel filter

Lift the bonnet of your Mercedes Vito. Locate the fuel filter as shown in the video. Unscrew, using a flathead screwdriver, the screw that holds the clip of the first pipe connected to the filter and remove it. Also, remove the second pipe, and for the third, you need to unscrew two upper screws and then the lower 10 mm bolt (with a socket wrench). At this point, you can remove the filter and proceed to install the new one, which you must obviously insert in place and then reconnect the various fuel pipes in reverse order. It's not complex maintenance, good luck!
