Replacing the fuel filter on the Mercedes E-Class, model produced until 1995, is very simple. Today, thanks to our short video tutorial, we will explain how to perform this operation independently.

Start by opening the front hood of the vehicle and then spray some lubricant on the nut that secures the filter bracket. Continue by loosening the support bracket of the fuel filter using a 19 mm wrench.

Once the bracket is removed, as shown in the video, you can take out the filter. After removing it, clean its housing with appropriate cleaner and then install the new filter.

Before tightening the bracket, lubricate it with oil, then insert it and tighten the components. Ensure the filter works by performing manual tests and finally tighten the clamps.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
