Keeping the diesel filter clean and efficient is essential to avoid contaminating the pump and injectors; replacing it is extremely simple: once the front bonnet is opened and the engine cover removed, the filter is located at the front of the engine.

Start by draining the bowl through the designated drain screw at the bottom, disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes, and unscrew the cap to extract the old filter.

Clean the inside of the bowl, insert the new filter and the new seals provided, screw the cap and drain screw back on, and then reconnect the pipes. Ensure to fill the filter before starting the engine.
