Fuel filter

[Highlander77]

Hey all,

 

While I await the delivery of the correct c-spanner for the coilovers to arrive (Screw driver and hammer appears to work on the drivers side) thought best just to buy  thing.

 

I was pondering on changing the fuel filter....Opinions? (Nothing wrong with the car that makes me think it really needs changing but thought about it as its probably never been changed)

 

Cheers

I seem to recall it’s 60k kilometres/40k miles service interval.

Just swapped mine at service. Whole unit cost just £24.

Difficult to do?

Access on my 2005 Vrs Fabia is easier than this. Fuel filter is at front offside of the engine bay. It is retained in a black plastic case by three small plastic clips.

Euro car parts do the Bosch fuel filter with their never ending sale discount for £13.64 (ignore the £20.99 advertised) with free delivery - I replaced mine a few weeks back, really easy job!

Perfect I'll tackle that as well when going oil change etc next Saturday.

 

Cheers all

best practice is approx 20 K   and ignore Skoda recommended change

Genuine one from tps is around £16 couple of minutes to do. Watch you don't ping the mickey mouse clip off and lose it
