Fuel filter change 1.6 16v

[bigmonmulgrew]

I have a mk 2 ph 2 1.6 16v clio priv Want to change the fuell filter. The section in the haynes manual is missing (contents referes to section 19 but that is also brake shoe renewal)

Where is it and how do I change it

Only needs changing at 150k.

Its in the fuel tank part of the pump and sender unit.

That the part under the rear seats.I assume I need to depresurise the fuel system

Just unplug the lines and get raly to get any fuel in the system.

Its no problems even 150k sounds be no trouble. Why do you think you need to chnage it?

I bought some bits to service it last summer. never got round to doing the fuel filter and brake shoes. Didnt realise it lasted that long thought im must be about due. Done 56k Now I've got one I might as well fit it though

If you look in the Haynes manual at section 4A*7 . Should be of some help.

 

[bigmonmulgrew]

it does now i know the fuel filter is built into the pump assembly. But it doesnt mention the fuel filter specifically. Not that changing a fuel filter is in any way complicated I just couldnt find the damn thing. My old clio was under the car

I know, these new motors are a pain in the arse. Nothing seems to be where it used to be. lol

Unnecesary - especially not on 56k, save it for 150k service mate

 

[lemonnobby]

mate the one they proberly give you is the ones that go underneath the car by the take if it a cylinder with two connection one either end it wont fit your car mk 2 ph 1 is the only ones with fuel filters outside the tank, if you do take the sender unit out if it got half a tank of fuel in it the tank may go out of shape it will leak.

 

[bigmonmulgrew]

yes it is one like a little cylinder

 

[lemonnobby]

thats the wrong one then.

 

[bigmonmulgrew]

f*** r****d shops. dont you love it when shops employ someone well qualified

 

[TomTom]

They did you a favour, take it back and get a refund

 

[bigmonmulgrew]

dont think theyll take it back its been sitting in my shed waiting to be fitted for 6 months and the box is nackared

 

[bigmonmulgrew]

anyone want a fuel filter

 

[V1NNY]

i'l have it

 

[tidyclio]

To be fair most cars seem to be on Renault database as having the external filter so the parts guy was probably just following what the computer was telling him.
If you want the pump/filter pm i've got a couple lying about

 

[Andy_J]

I'll have it too.

 

[bigmonmulgrew]

ok first one to pm me offering to pay postage can have it. Payment by paypal. Well call it £3. Bargain for a brand new filter.
Of course you can have it for nowt if you collect
