Part: Fuel pump

Removing the fuel filter on an Opel Vectra. Here’s how to do it. Lift the car on a column lift or jack and locate the fuel filter as shown in the video. Use a socket or spanner to unscrew the fastening bolts of the round plate around the filter (disconnect the wires and various hoses from the filter) and remove it from under the body. Once the filter is removed, take it out of the vehicle (replace it with a new filter). Fit the new fuel filter with all the attached parts (connect hoses and wires). Close the bonnet.
