In this video tutorial, you will learn how to replace the diesel filter on an Opel Astra. First, lift the vehicle and remove the fuel hoses from the filter.

Now, using a Torx spanner, unscrew the bolts of the filter bracket to widen it and extract the diesel filter. Allow it to drain, and with a flat screwdriver, remove the upper plastic piece of the filter, which you will need to reattach to the new one. Then, position the new filter and tighten the bracket.

Reconnect the fuel hoses (or replace them if damaged) and the job is done.
