Citroen C5 Hpi Fuel Filter Location

[Guest rp88]

Hi, My step dad needs to find out where the fuel filter is on his 2002 petrol C5. Would anyone be able to give us any information, or even pictures would be great too.

Thanks in advance

He's had it all out and he said it's definately not there. I've read on another website that someone else said they dont have one too, but if you look on google shopping websites have the filters for sale.

And they're right. The 2ltr petrol engines don't have one. Maybe what you've Googled is for 2ltr diesel engines. They have a big one just infront of the engine.

If you remove the sender unit from the tank. Youl see that the sender unit splits in 2 once split youl see a gauze filter ( 3 inches by 4) it just pushes onto the bottom of the pick up pipe either clean it or replace it. Is he having problems with the car or is it just preventive maintenance hes doing

This question has also recently been asked on aussiefrogs, our cars might be slightly different as Citroen saw our conditions as being more likely to encounter dusty dirt roads etc. It would seem though that a filter was fitted apart from the one coastline indicates. Might be worth a look?

Hi Chris

 

That link doesn't work (maybe it did when you posted it though).

 

I have a C5 2.0i 2002 in Sri Lanka and it does have an inline fuel filter... or at least service.citroen.com tells me so - see http://sifaan.almostunreal.org/fuelfilter.png

 

Most probably for you guys in UK the diagram will be the same but the part number for the fuel filter will not be listed... (assuming that the part is included only for harsh environments)
