Thanks a lot mate, really helpful. What i liked, was that there was no long waffley intro, just straight to the matter at hand. Great, thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t have a cam belt so I used a ratchet strap and work just as well!

Had a crack at doing this job this morning. Didn't have a cam belt so found an old bike inner tube I've been saving to make patches out of. Wrapped it around tightly and then wrapped the loose end around a spider brace. Kept turning the brace and stretching the rubber until it finally gave way. Same method to tighten back up.
Thanks for the idea !

Just have done it the same way and all worked perfectly! Thanks for the tip!

Moin, zum Lösen des Kraftstoffbehälters ist folgendes Werkzeug ideal: HAZET Kraftstofffilter-Lösewerkzeug 2168-2 Größe 160mm, kostet bei Hazet-freak 11, 78 Euro.
Zum Entlüften den Zündschlüsselschlüssel 5-6 mal für 10 Sekunden auf "Vorglühen" und gleichzeitig Luft und Sprit ablassen am Reifenventil, was rechts neben dem Öleinfüllstutzen ist. Geht sehr gut mit einer kurzen Schlauchverlängerung was man sich von einem alten Reifen-Notfüllmittel abschneiden kann. Sonst wird es eine elende Kleckerei.

Thank you for the trick! I actually have the special laser tool, but it gets stuck in the bottom and doesn't slide to the top of the fuel filter housing.

Any ideas on a warning on these stating "water detected in fuel" any solutions?

Cool tip, I don't have a a cambelt lying around though lol

and the trick to refill, is turn on ignition for 20 seconds then off x6 and bob's yer uncle!

It's good to clean filter housing before removing filter itself.

Great trick but my filter is on top if the fire wall under the screen 😭😭

Good afternoon to change the diesel filter you have to fill it with diesel again it is for the transit 2013

[theeekobreeelo]

Awesome.
How much would you charge for that.
And I love your tip on using a old cambelt to remove the filter.
Many thanks from T.M.

Top man!!! Idiots I just took my 2nd hand van to refused to do the filter as previous owner has had someone break the fins and they want me to buy a complete new housing as they reckon it WILL break!?! before they touch it... Not according to this video the twats LoL
