Hi all,

How easy is it to change a fuel filter on my MK5 Ford Fiesta 1.2 Zetec S. Its look like its not been changed for sometime by the last owner and i want to carry out a service which i am ok with the other bits but not sure on the fuel filter.

I know its located near the rear next to the tank and it does not look in a good condition. People say its ok just to remove and not much fuel will come out. Is this true.

Also how is the filter fixed in place under the car and what keeps the exisiting pipes on.

Can i use jubliee clips to secure the pipe back on or should i use the ford clips

use the right clips to clip pipes back on the filter will be held on by a bracket just loosen it and slide the filter out not much fuel will come out its a simple easy job dont worry about it

 

Hi

So the ford clips are easy to get back on or should i buy some new ones from ford. People say they are a nightmare to remove and refit?
