Diesel Fuel Filter

[carter_46]

I know there's probably a topic on here already bit I'm using my phone and can't find anything in the first 5 pages. I'm new to this diesel lark and unsure on exactly what to do to change the fuel filter I've had a quick look and it looks fairly straight forward but then I've been told things about priming pumps and bleeding. I've changed then before on petrols but it sounds like a completely different kettle of fish can any one give me any good easy to follow advise I have a 2002 2.0 hdi thanks in advance

I'm not sure which fuel filter you'll have on a 2002 C5 but for a general run-down on how to do it have a look at this topic:-

The filter shown in this picture is a 2005 C5 but you may have a filter which is the same as that shown below:-

If yours is like this one, the outer ring turns off and the inside part lifts off. Before removing the ring, disconnect the 12v plug and the two fuel lines.

 

On either filter, if you have a hand primer squeeze until firm. If not, switch on and off a few times and use the starter.
