?????? Sorry to pushy need info before saturday lol!

I guess it's a petrol,

Fuel filter is at the back by the tank but not normally changed on service.

Oil filter is underneath the engine at the front, 36mm socket required to undo the cap

Air filter is simple to remove from the air box, just undo the screws once it's removed.

Pollen filter is under the glovebox, need to slide a panel to the side and it drops out.

Also guessing your out of warranty now?

When is fuel filter changed then? Car has done 102k?

Are you serious???

IMHO if you dont know how to find and change these items you should not be doing it.

I was thinking the same thing :giggle:

Seriously its ok in wanting to learn and do things,but if you don't even know where the oil filter is located,take it slowly and don't rush to get the job done..

Little tip for ya.On the oil filter you will see a rubber seal,just put a thin smear of oil around the rubber using your finger,it will help give a better seal when you screw the new filter on.

and also before fitting the new filter just pour a little of the oil into the new filter but don't fill it to the brim,this helps when starting the engine as the oil will not circulate through the engine properly until the oil filter is filled with oil,it helps to prevent engine wear if you pour a little oil into the filter first before screwing it back on.

And on the sump plug i always replace the washer for a new one,i have known some to put the old washer back on,but for the sake of a washer just put a new one back on..

Good Luck :think:

Did service saturday. All went well! Did my brakes too. And for the above comments which i do find a bit rude. Every car is different, Different access, Different location and different tools. Hence asking. Thanks anyways

Glad it went well, With regards to the fuel filter there is no interval to change it.
