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.
