Opel Astra 1.7 CDTi diesel filter replacement

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Diesel fuel filter

In this video we will see how to remove and replace the diesel filter of an Opel Astra 1.7 CDTi. First we go to lift the bonnet and we go to identify the diesel filter, which we find at the top; then let's disconnect its electrical connector and remove the diesel inlet pipe with something sharp. At this point we disconnect the other electrical connector that we find at the bottom and remove the diesel pipe, making the excess one come out; then we go to unscrew the ring nut of our filter, with the appropriate key, and take out the filter.

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.
