Opel Astra diesel filter replacement

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Diesel fuel filter

In this video tutorial we will see how to replace the Opel Astra diesel filter. First we lift the car and go to remove the fuel lines from our filter. Now with a torx wrench we unscrew the bolts of the filter bracket in order to widen it and extract the diesel filter. Now let it drain and with a flat screwdriver we go to remove the upper plastic piece of the filter that we should then go and reassemble in the new one. Then put the new filter in place and tighten the bracket. Reconnect the fuel lines (or replace them if damaged) and the job is done.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
