Instructions for Replacing the Diesel Filter

Model: Peugeot 206 MK 1 - Years 1998-2012
Part: Diesel fuel filter

To replace the diesel filter, first remove the plastic engine cover and locate the filter at the front of the engine. Completely unscrew the drain screw and use a funnel to collect the diesel that spills from the screw; once the diesel has drained, disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes and unscrew the cap of the filter container (bayonet fitting); remove the old filter, clean the container with a cloth, and insert the new one, also replacing the O-ring seals included in the kit. Finally, refit the cap, the pipes, and the drain screw.
