do your change fuel filter

[nicholascheans]

If so what are the symptoms of a bad fuel filter

This is one of those myth local workshops loves to con car drivers to change fuel filter at 40k or 80k.

Times are different, nowadays petrol are no longer as dirty(contaminated with dirt) as back in the 80s

Change fuel filter when you overhaul your engine at 200k

The fuel filter is cheap but the labour is tedious. So the charges is not cheap for most cars.
Usually need to dismantle rear seats and do.

There is no specific symptom cos it there is a problem the troubleshooting starts from spark plugs/cylinder area/sensors/engine then fuel line all the way to fuel filter then fuel tank.

Think TS mix up fuel and oil filter.

Oil filter is cheap.

Fuel filter not cheap. Depending on the car model. Labour quite tedious.

He nv mix up. Fuel filter is at rear passanger seat.

And indeed the filter is affordable but labour can be expensive.

Also heard the first change for fuel filter if workmanship is bad.......can lead to many problems.

I've been on 50% jb oil for past 3yrs nv changed before.

Changed mine car fuel filter at 130K, 10 yr mark. Suggest to change at 100K, I dissected the fuel filter assembly, the filter is freaking dirty and it can no longer perform as a filter with the amount of dirt inside. And a clogged fuel filter can make a car sluggish at high rev since the flow rate is reduced.

I modern car fuel pump unit there are 2 filters one is fuel filter and other is fuel screen, to access the fuel pump unit is a tedious labour... If you are at the stage need to change fuel filter. Might as well change a new fuel pump, fuel filter and screen...

few mths ago i'm having random misfiring and rough idling. change my spare injector and change spark plug and even loaded stock map and still having issue
i decide to check my fuel filter and the cardboard filter is clogged, remove the filter and finally it working
recently i decided to renew my coe and now ordering parts for new pump kit and after market filter from deatschwerks.
160k km and only pump shell 98 for my 06 wrx

its relatively easy to DIY and take about 1hr even for a noob mechanic and i advise to change it in a open space with lots of ventilation and a empty fuel tank

Be very careful as prolonged duration will have petrol intoxication effect........and in car space will be tainted for a few days of petrol smell.

that why do in a open space. remove the fuel pump assembly quickly and work on it in other place

 

[s4vtec]

Depends if you have in line or in tank filter
