In this video, you can see where the fuel filter is located on a Volvo V40 D2 and how to remove it, useful if you want to carry out maintenance without going to a garage. As shown in the second part of the video, the filter is located inside the engine compartment, at the rear, near the windscreen.

The filter is covered by a metal plate, secured by 3 bolts of 10 mm. Once unscrewed, lift the plate, disconnect the connector and the two pipes. Remember to clean any fuel residue present in the engine compartment once the job is finished.
