Replacing the Diesel Filter on the Renault Clio 3

Model: Renault Clio MK 3, Clio 3, Clio III - Years 2005-2013
Part: Diesel fuel filter

The diesel filter for the 1.5 dCi engine of the Renault Clio 3 is a special filter: it is a single plastic block that contains the filter and is not serviceable: you must replace the entire unit by simply disconnecting and reconnecting the supply and return pipes: this filter is not located in the engine bay but under the front right wheel arch (passenger side), so to replace it, you must remove the front right wheel, the wheel arch liner, and the protective plate in front of the filter; finally, just disconnect the pipes from the old filter and connect them to the new one before reassembling everything.
