Replacing the diesel filter is extremely simple; the filter is located at the front of the engine, near the battery; the first operation to perform is to drain the filter (although not strictly necessary): place a small container under the filter, unscrew the drain screw and detach the return pipe by pressing the side tabs and pulling upwards; once drained, re-screw the screw and detach the other pipes in the same way. Then remove the old filter by pulling it upwards (it is only clipped in), fit the new filter and connect the respective pipes marked by their colours; fill the filter using the manual pump and start the engine.
