Removal and Replacement of the Diesel Filter

Model: Mercedes Classe S MK 3, W140 - Years 1991-1998
Part: Diesel fuel filter

This video shows how to remove and replace the diesel filter on our car. First, locate the diesel filter in the engine compartment, then proceed with its removal by unscrewing the only screw that holds it in place and pulling it out of its housing. Before starting the installation of the new filter, remember to replace the rubber grommets that act as seals for the main mounting screw, which we will purchase along with the new filter. Once the grommets are replaced, proceed with the installation of the filter and check its proper operation.
