I HAVE A D9 2.L HDI
TRYING TO PUT ANOTHER FUEL FILTER IN.HERE GOES--
DISCONNECTED EVERYTHING & GOT IT DRAINED,BUT WHEN I TRY TO TAKE THE TOP OFF THE HOUSING THE WHOLE TOP THING MOVES.IS THIS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?I MEAN,THE TOP IS PLASTIC BUT THERE'S A METAL PART JOINED TO IT.ARE THEY BOTH SUPPOSED TO COME OFF TOGETHER(IN A ONER)?

If it's this type....http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.ph ... u=12067113 the top screws off completely.(Thanks to Steve Earwig).

The other type has a nut on the lid, unscrew the nut/lid 90 degrees and lift off the lid. there is a metal ring inside this type, take note how it fits, also take note which way up the filter goes.

I've no experience of this myself, but this post may help.

Also have a search on fuel filter housing.

Edit: jasper beat me to it!

got it-cheers guys.
